  1. Well I think it's a great piece. And looks great with a suit. It seems every time a watch gets great reviews, it becomes extinct shortly after. This is the only Ebel I would even consider getting. Guess I'll have to look into getting a used one
  2. In a never ending chain of highly reviewed watches the simply go extinct, the Ebel Disvoery Panda has been MIA for ONE YEAR. Whats the deal? Did the factory close? Who runs out of stock for an entire year? If anybody has the inside scoop on where I can find this dinosaur please PM me. I've already tried half of our trusted dealers! Thanks gents
  3. I'm not certain of that Dave. All the SA reviews on the forum seem to be of the noobfactory v2. Nobody knows anything about the h factory version except the dealers. Never a good sign
  4. rek001 might be right, the "h factory" dial looks as if the hour numbers are not stenciled. They look flat or at least flatter than the usual v2 SA's we see around the forum. I may hold out until the noobfactory v2's are back in stock. If anybody else can confirm or deny this, or vouch for the quality of the "h factory" SA's please comment.
  5. Go for it chief! I love the white stencil dials. And thanks for the tip Dave. You guys have been very helpful. I think I have I have my first franken project lined up for me.
  6. No but thanks. I'm looking for the same dial above. Gen white numbered dial, big wings would be nice. There are a few on ebay but I'm not going to pay $250, not to mention some of them look fake. Does anybody know any other sources for gen dials?
  7. Wow chief you totally scored! Those are some gorgeous pieces. Now if I could only find a gen dial for under $200. Any ideas?
  8. The factory does not have its own website. The warehouse supplies the dealers. Are the markers on the standard v2 that we all know so well (noobfactory) stenciled? I can't tell!
  9. I wanted the v2 because of the 1:1 case and better AR. The consensus seems to be that the v2 will fit a gen dial and the v3 will not. Not to mention the crystal and bezel assembly is worse on the v3. The crystal is thinner and mounted in conjunction with the bezel. Yuck
  10. Apparetly the v2 from the noobfactory is sold out, so all the dealer had to use as an example was a noobfactory v3. The one on the right is the "h factory," although the jury is still out on whether or not the h factory version is considered v2 or not.
  11. The reply I received from the dealer on the difference between a noobfactory and h factory SA is "dial is different, case is different." Not much help. Its getting more and more difficult to make an informed purchase
  12. Hey gents, the dealers are driving me crazy right now with trying to find a white dial Super Avenger. One minute they tell me the watch is from the noobfactory, and the next minute they tell me its not the noobfactory, its "h factory." Whats the difference? I thought the noobfactory was the only factory making the best v2 reps??
  13. Wow you guys are thorough. I'm obtaining more pictures shortly, but the numbers are definitely silver not black. Its difficult to get good angle and lighting apparently. As for the black speck, I hope thats just dust!
  14. I dont have very good vision so I wont be able to spot any small incorrect details, but I would like a second opinion before pulling the trigger. Thanks gents
  15. Its not much... but let me know what you guys think. The v2's have been sold out so I was lucky to find one from a dealer. I'll post more later. Thanks!
  16. Are you certain that the 2009 version is v2? The consensus on this forum seems to be that 2008 is v2, and 2009 is v3. Lets make sure we're posting the correct info. And where can you find genuine dials for $150? They are going for $250+ on ebay.
  17. Sick and tired of all the best review pieces going out of production. Does anybody know who sells a v2 Super Avenger with pro2 bracelet? The "trusted dealers" seem to be taking their sweet time returning emails these days. I'm ready to buy, with money burning a hole in my pocket..and I can't even get a response.
  18. I hate that the v2 & v3 options are such a double edged sword. Wouldn't it be nice if every subsequent version of a rep built on and improved the flaws of the previous version? In a perfect world that is. So basically, if a SA has the red "Automatic" inscription it's v3 correct? How's the color accuracy of the white on the v2 SA? Does the v3 have an improved SS bracelet at least? If so, a v2 SA with updated bracelet might be a winner
  19. I was checking out the SOSF dial, I'm surprised it's so difficult to reproduce. Love the bracelet on the gen SOSF, major selling point for me. Wish I could go back in time 2 years ago and pick up the rep that By-Tor reviewed.
  20. Whats the consensus gents? Its difficult to keep up with the pros and cons of v2's and v3's with all the current Breit reps in production.. especially considering that so many dealers are not notating the versions on the product detail pages. The term "ultimate" is getting thrown around ubiquitously. Having said that, what is CURRENTLY the most accurate out of the box WHITE rep? Super Avenger? SOSF? BCE?? Joshua site has current updated versions of both the SA and SOSF (which I believed was all but extinct), but it's difficult to tell accuracy to gen from the watermarked photos. Nearly impossible to tell the shade of white as well due to varying picture quality and lighting. White SA http://www.1-pc8838.com/0blsa00991-2009-super-avenger-ssss-white-a7750-28800-p-9532.html White SOSF http://www.1-pc8838.com/bl02002-superocean-steelfish-white-swiss-28362-p-2599.html Are the shades of white accurate on the current reps? Much appreciated gents!
  21. I've been eying that piece from Joshua for a while. About to pull the trigger!
