Good early Sunday morning from Europe!

I'm wearing the Pepsi right now. How about you?

All my gens have been "rep tested" first. When the watch has proven to have long term appeal, I purchase the gen version.

Then there are watches that I'm a "casual fan" of. Like the Rolex Submariner. WM9 is damn good. Who doesn't love the legendary Sub... but for me it's not a "grail watch" or anything so I'm happy with the super rep.

That's a great example Woody, congrats!

This white beauty today.

Arthur,

only the cyclops should be AR coated, not the whole crystal.

Two quick Aquaracer wrist shots.

This is as hardcore as it gets.

I have always loved the orange Doxa. It's just, well... special.

Wear it well my friend!!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Any questions about specific rep? I'd be happy to talk about these... they are all special in some ways.

That Orange Doxa is a diver watch classic.

I'm wearing a bit more modern. But classic anyway (or at least a future classic).

I love the white/cream dial but how off is it from the gen?

It's not as different as blue but quite different in the flesh, really.

Gen is creamy as you said. Unfortunately the rep is pure white.

Here's white gen. Beautiful watch.

But then again, Fish is not like Omega Moon Watch or Rolex Submariner. Not as common. So go with the dial color you like the best. White and blue reps are nice. Black is simply the most accurate.

@deniz: They aren't black but the silver, mirror-like numbers and markers are reflecting black because it has been shot in a lightbox in a dark room.

@cougaree: Thanks for the picture link!

@Bike Mike: Holy s... that's HUGE. Fish looks like Rolex Datejust in comparison. Do you have both white and blue gen Fish? Cool.

I'm actually considering a v2 Skyland on a bracelet (as soon as someone in EU wants to part with his) but I haven't seen many decent wristies. Most seem to wear it on rubber or leather... and that's not my thing.

I think I might even have wrists for this big thing.

So let's see the bracelet Skylands!

Very nice AD. Looks pretty good to me.

First I thought it was black with strong AR. Nice to see the blue version.

@Hammy: The markers on that watch don't look bad to me at all. Maybe the lume dots are just "charged" in the photo. All rep SOSF lume dots are greenish (save the very first batches). But then again those were applied terribly.

That SOSF is actually pretty nice besides the completely lacking dial texture. But that's nothing new with blue dial version.

Going with my Aquaracer today. How about you?

@Freddy:

Hey Red, merged these topics. There was an old one already.

Roger Waters' Amused to Death is one of my favorite albums. I like the In the Flesh live version too.

@chief: I'm a huge Genesis fan. But from "Collins era" I only like "And then there were three" and "Genesis"... the one that has Home By The Sea.

@TT: I missed Steve Hackett's show in my hometown because our baby was born just a week ago. I already had tickets but gave them to a friend. I heard it was a great performance.

Truly stunning watcher.

Another HC-franken added to your collection.

Niiiiice bezel

I agree.

@maxmillian: I'm glad you like it. Fish is the coolest diver watch ever made.

They're afraid that someone counterfeits their pictures, so they have to be copyrighted and watermarked.

Ahh the irony.

Very creative and artsy shots. Thanks for sharing!

SMP Chrono.

Wow, thanks By-Tor. can you do me a favor and edit the thread title from "Carrera Calibre 1 V2 Carrera Calibre 1" to "Review: Carrera Calibre 1 V2".... copy and paste error.

Done.

Thanks Lani. Compared to you I'm a small timer though...

It really pisses me off that I've lost the photos of the old ones that I've owned. Many, many reps that new members could find fascinating. "Fascinatingly bad" by todays standards I'm afraid but they'd portray the evolution of the Sub nicely (for example).

The problem is that those old reviews are in the original RWG1 and I used Imageshack to store the photos. After my hard drive crashed I lost all of them.
