Cheers for the replys guys, I emailed Josh last night regarding the SOSF he lists which has the mineral crystal and a 21j movement. Almost a $160 difference between this one and the sosf with the copy eta movement and double AR crystal. But he said these were the only differences.

Will the different crystal make a huge difference? Or will it not be too noticable to the untrained eye.

I'm also going to research a bit more about the movement as I don't want one with 6months later after daily wear will crap out on me.

Evening all.

I know I'm a noob around here but i've been on here pretty much everyday reading everything I can about the reps out atm, and now I feel that its time I take the plunge and as its my birthday on Fri I want to treat myself

I've narrowed my choice down the

SA (although for a daily I'm concerned this may be too big)

Skyland

UPO

All very nice watches, but with a budget of no more than $275 I cant get all 3

essensially after reading the reviews I can see there are pros and negs

but which ones in your opinions are

A - closest to gen out of the box

B - least obvious flaws (ie slighly concerned about the lume dots on the skyland)

I do like the SOSF but its a touch out of my price range

Any oppinions/advice please

Sorry Mike i ment

As said earlier, the one rep which could potentially kick start the interest again would be the chronomat B01, its amazing. If only I could afford 5k for the gen

Really like the idea of this, I dont post much but do a hell of a lot of research before I commit to a spend.

Like I joined here after having a good rep of a datejust (needs a new movement) and a not so great explorer 1 (wrong hands)

but before this I didnt have half the know i do now.

initially i had an open mind but now its down to the 3 which to me would appear super-reps

SuperOcean Steelfish

UPO

Explorer 2

I can safely say if there is a very good and accurate rep out there of this I'll definatly put my name down and get one

Before anyone points out, I am aware there is no steel fish chrono, I think a few too beers on a work night took their toll on me.

Noob mistake haha

Ahh ok, I'll compare the two rep & gen to see what the difference is. If most associate the UPO with the non-chrono then would that potentially mean this is up to the UPO standards albiet in chrono format?

If so I think it could be something a little different but still a heavy hitter like the SOSF chrono

Im also soon to buy the UPO.

although from looking on Eurotimez site, it apears they have what I would class as a potential UUPO

I have no idea what the difference would be in comparison to the normal UPO

Is the difference between the two really worth

That looks fantastic.

love the rugged look of the Hublots.

Although tbh I still think I prefer the look of the Big Bang

Cheers,

I'll definatly make sure I read the guide,

Just been flitting between pages admiring other peoples so far.

That is one seriously nice watch.

im new but im still amazed to see the quality of these reps
