Erm, source please? Or just an calculated guess? Super-rep? Anyway, of course a more accurate version will be available at some point, you can already get a nice but basic first-gen attempt from certain dealers.

Angus mentioned it in one of hie posts, I think it was over at rwi. And yes, it will be super rep with real ceramic...lets just hope they do it right. There are a lot details which might cause trouble apart from the bezel....for instance the "Rolex" engraving on the rehaut....plus makers are yet to prove to us that they are able to create a Rolex super rep...cause in the past there was always somethng faulty with them....

The new GMT II Steel is in construction and is going to be another of those super-reps, including the nice bezel. So be patient gentlemen....

I would buy the New Rolex GMT II Steel...awesome watch, you gotta see it live !!!

Awesome !!

Yes, I am not a fiddy expert, can someone please comment on the new Davidsen Fiddy ???

Hmmm...interesting nobody mentioned it yet. But the big second hand is apparantly white while it should be steel. I already told Angus, he said it is not just in the picture

Nice ! Here the gen for direct comparison:

Cheers !

Why would this be intentional? Would really like to know.

If you take a look of davidsen 217 you see that he has put 127's back on 217 and vice versa. But why, this is beyond me

Hope nobody is going to hate me for this but here is my explanation.

Everytime a new Pam comes out there is something wrong, sometimes it is old mistakes which are not resolved, sometimes it is mistakes that have been resolved on previous editions....and all this on a Pam, which is, in terms of detail one of the easiest watches to rep. Look at the projects of Angus, then you understand my reasoning. If that factory should start pushing out Pams, trust me, the days of other dealers are counted. Its ridiculously easy to rep a pam 1:1.

But i better stop my critique now, dont wanna sound like panerai-police or something...but that is the simple truth. Compare it to the complexity of the HBB, the Cousteau, the upcoming Slevin and then ask yourself why none of Davidsens releases have managed to correct a single one of the remaining ridiculously simple flaws that are still present on Pams.

This is the Sergej Bubka priciple. Never jump as high as you can, then you can come back next time and set a new world record again....and pleople as simple-mided as they are, will buy it !

Very nice watch you have there and thanks for posting. This is the first one I have seen with the correct logo.

So who did you say you got it from ? jay ??

If it has strong AR then it is an admirable watch ! Have fun with it !

it's been quiet for the past few days...

I suppose they are trying to get the bracelet and rep it as well...

It is intentional IMHO.

oh shut up you two. Its fantastic :D

Ok, convinced. Lets rep it...

...LOL no we really do not need this. This is too chunky chunky !! You need to take it off before having s*x to avoid injuries...LOL

By the way, does anyone have info regarding the datewheel that will be used in the Aquatimer ? I guess it will be the same as in the Pilot so a replacement mod will be necessary ?

Kurt is about as animated as Lenin's corpse too, the assistant had to start and stop the roller.

LOL !

I think you should buy it. I am sure you wont be dissapointed as the quality is supposed to exceed the already incredible CD...

8 day movment ? Kruzer, its going to happen VERY soon. Stay tuned

The old dude is the mastermind of IWC and the creator of the IWC perpetual calenders... and he runs over a pile of replicas

I guess they have no clue about the incredibly good replicas of IWC that are being released this past year... i think if they would have a clue they would do more than let grandpa run over a few reps

I couldnt agree more. What a ridiculously foolish gesture this is. Cant take that guy seriously anymore. But i guess some consider this as "cool".

Besides, grandpa should know some of the reps keep better time than his gens and are of NO less quality, at least nothing that would justify a 17 times higher price for the gen. If our reps only last a year I could buy a new one each year for seventeen years in a row and not having to worry about servicing.

So no discussion about the quality of the materials used. Seriously no ! I was able to compare the gen Cousteau with the rep side-by-side and there is no quality difference.

So maybe the movment is worth the gen...LOL, as if IWC would do much refinement or modification. If they would use a complete inhouse movment there was a point in arguing, but its still just a 7750.

JMHO.

Exciting !!!!!! I love this interactive system. Hopefully one day there will be a raffle on this board with the first price being a trip to China to experience the repping of a new model 'in flesh'...that would be fun

thats the genuine!

Good boy !...and since you like it so much, here is another one...

I think the rubber strap makes it more useful to wear for showering, and its certainly much more comfi than steel bracelets...

Finally.....I have been lobbying for this one before the first HBB was released. Solid caseback versions are so much more easy to do accurately...

teaser:

F-

That is why it is called the Aquatimer. If you want a 42mm with bracelet go for the 3717 Pilot.

People still wondering if this isnt on purpose ?? Of course it is, if people arguing that there is no perfect pam out there because the factories have no interest in producing a PERFECT for a couple of watch freaks like us when they can sell still thousands to the average tourist, they argue right. But didnt Davidsen in particular try to do a perfect rep just for his small watch freak client base of us ? Wouldnt he benefit ? I mean, seriously, if there was a 100 % PERFECT (meaning the dial of the watch) who wouldnt buy it ?

I would...

i hate being right on this. It seems like such an easy thing to fix. The 12/3/6/9 numerals also need to be thicker.

z

Here the shots of davidsen and the gen side by side, sorry i dont know how to make myself clearer but the rep does not look anything like the gen.

1) Why the hell are the numbers green in the rep ??? Look on the gen the numbers are WHITE !!!!!!!!!

2) one of the crucial characterisitcs of the logo models is that they have fatter numbers on the dial, the rep totally misses this point

3) i dont even wanna know how misplaced the "L Swiss L" is ......

....

and yet people over at RWI scream Go Davidsen Go, as if the created a masterpiece....something must be terribly wrong with my eyes...
