  1. This eagerly awaited watch is currently the only one on my WTB list. As so many other people I hope it will come out soon and justify the built-up expectations. I would expect it to be at least as good as 45mm UPO, and hope for an improvement on top. Updated no-happy-feet logo and double AR. As some previous posters said no double AR=fail. Personally the price here is secondary if the rep is of very high quality, however knowing that used gen can be purchased for under $1800 anything over $320 would be a IMHO big fail. So, lets hope for the best
  2. Thanks for the great review By-Tor! I am surprised to see that so many people have commented and purchased this watch, while no one spotted one obvious giveaway. On the 9'o clock sub-dial the GEN markers relative to 20/40/60 are just a bit shorter than others (relative to where 10/30/40/50 would be standing). On the rep the noted three markers are longer than they should be (equal to 10/30 etc markers). See it yourself, pics of the gen: And same of the rep: To be completely fair, the "long" 20/40/60 markings are still correct for current black and white versions (but were not correct for any of the "2006" versions, for example search the google for images on "CJF2110.BA0576" and look for a pic of "tachymetre on bezel" version). However as both the black and white reps lack the silver "circles" around the subdials compared to the gen, the only conclusion is that every version has its own visible flaws. One more observation, based on the pictures it would seem that all the "minor" markers on the three sub-dials look a bit "thicker" and more highlighted on the rep than on a gen, which would be +1 on the inaccuracies. So overall, IMHO By-Tor was right to put "Aquaracer" above the "Link" on his list of best Tag reps. Not to be misunderstood, I believe that Link is still one excellent rep, in fact I have ordered and waiting for one at the moment. Aquaracer was unfortunately too big for my small 6.3" wrist so I had to settle with Link
