They look very good to me, is that gray or black, always hard to tell with pics

HOLY INFINITE LOOP BATMAN!

another vote for the Longines here

Offshore is your man, many satisfied customers will vouch for him including myself.

Some colors are fantasy as far as I know. Workmanship is not the worst, but just somethings have not been finished as nice as they could have. The problem also is that with the quartz jobs the watch operates differently a bit, the chrono counters are not accurate. The minute counter should be 30 mins, not 60. And at the 3 clock chrono it should be an hour counter going up to 12, on the quartz its just a 24 hour clock. If you really love the watch, its probably worth going the step up for the 7750, if your just curios and like the design but don't mind that its a bit inaccurate you could live with the quartz. As is the way, its more about you than what other people think about the watch. Others will most likely react the same for both models, but its you that has to look at it everyday.

Oh I hate you all! Im gonna have to go and order a Skyland now

want to own a good rep of this longines one day, for the dress watch category.

I just cant stand the bezel on the B01, even when it has a dial I don't mind that damn bezel is still there to irritate me.

wow cant wait to see the complete product Really digging that dial

thanks for the great review

Thanks Deniz \ hmm cant edit my firstpost, but Im adding some bonus pictures from the Australian Formula (was there last week) Here is the slr, with a Mercedes-Mclaren F1 in the background (scored some pit passes), they had an F1 car, Vs V8 Super car vs Mercedes AMG. They gave the other cares a head start ofcoarse but the F1 still smashed them both. And no F1 is complete without some scantily clad women.

Coming from the master reviewer himself Thanks Bytor castlemountain Ill measure the height tonight, the 45mm width is measured from the outside if the case, not including the crowns. It wears much smaller than a 45mm Planet Ocean though, I think this is because the face is smaller and the case tapers towards the top. So it sorta feels a bit more like 42mm ish

don't say it!!

Brother bought me this for my birthday, I thought it would be cool to have a beat around quartz that I can use to time my runs/rides and workouts. And here we are, Tag Mercedes SLR My first impressions were so so. The weight and case are nice, things that were a bit meh were the dial and internal rotating rehaut , which is not as smooth as Id like it, and slightly moves around in there. Naturally, the first thing to do is have a look inside. The rear cap is fixed by 6 screws. The cap itself is very good, nice, heavy and solid. The engraving itself is also quite good. problem I had was the 2 of the screws just turned and didn't actually bite into the thread making them useless, infact as of writing one of them has fallen out and is now lost. Cap off, we have a quartz movement, with a pretty tight plastic spacer ring jammed in there too. Case is very solidly built, feels good and looks very good. There is a purple tinge to the AR coating but it was a challenge to photograph. Some people dont like it but I actually think the purple reflection looks pretty cool. When you take the band off though and look between the lugs, well, not the best finishing. The pushers come in at an angle due to their design. In the pic below you can see how exposed they are when pushed, no gaskets no nothing, this is definitely not one for the pool guys. Id advice keeping it away from water as much as possible, it will probably handle washing your hands but that's about it. I guess you can say ahh you dont see between the lugs, but oh, what is this? Yes that's a chinamens fingerprints all over the hour markers. I managed to polish them off with soem cotton buds and now they sparkle quite nice as seen in the other photos. Another thing I find irritating is the black chrono part of the dial. The black extends under and a little beyond the chrome ring around it. Its a shame that there is no love for quartz models Detailed picture of dial with markers cleaned and in the case. 3 oclock subdial is a simple 24 hour clock, 6 o'clock subdial constantly counts seconds, and the 9 o'clock counts the minutes when you start the chrono. Onto some wrist shots shall we... The watch is fairly thick and sits high, which I really like. its 45mm wide. This is on my 7.5 ~ 8 inch wrist. Tried it some leather to see how it would look. Lume is pretty much stranded rep lume. It glows a cool aqua green, while not terribly bright it does seem to last, or maybe my room is just very dark.. Comparing lume to a seiko dial (seiko left, slr right) Conclusion: Despite its many flaws, I still like it, Im being critical because I don't want to give anyone false expectations. It really does look great on the wrist and feels pretty good, better than my photos. The rubber strap is fairly comfortable and the clasp shat me off to begin with but its come good now. It has a great sporty look and feel. Its a shame that quartz doesn't get any love from the rep makers, I'm sure the 7750 version doesn't suffer from a lot of these issues.

very nice Deniz, wear it well mate

I do love that blackbird bracelet too, what is that model of bracelet called? It looks like the pilot but brushed with more angles and way cooler.

Don't think you'll get a gen bezel on there, the rep doesn't go on like the gen does far as I know (not really screwed on like the gen is). From the things I have read around here its best to leave the bezel alone, some people cant get theirs off, others that got it off broke something on the way. Its rough terrain.

First off, hi Mrs unikphotos I dont think the rep lume is anything special, but form the few reviews I read its not absolutely horrible either, just somewhere in between. Maybe its best to see it first before gambling the oldboys on a relume.

another vote for the second one

i rather like it

Does bob sell rep deployment clasps or buckles?

For me it would be: 1 - Chrono = Breitling Skyland 2 - Dressy Hand Wind = Omega Railmaster 3 - Sporty automatic = Omega Planet Ocean/Breitling Steelfish 3 - Quartz for outdoor activity = Tag Hauer SLR Quartz on rubber straps

oh yeah, now that there is a thing of beauty

Offshore is indeed your man

Coming from a person who has an acquaintance that sounds very similar to your friend (sticky and obnoxious) Id say do not send him to a dodgy site. He will only pester you more about why things didn't work out or why his watch is [censored]. Best course of action is say you don't know, site is no longer active. If he goes off and does his own thing and gets ripped off at least he cant pester or blame you about it.
