RBT1680

Panerai153, Well said. I have been cruising the sales forums for some time now and when a ROO pops up its usually too late. I keep going back and forth about them. Not too sure which theme to go with, I'll probably let the sales posting be the deciding factor. I got into the rep game for the sake of getting an AP ROO but settled for Pam's as they were a little more accessible. I built a 6154 that I was certain would be it for me, but now I'm debating letting it go for a ROO. Crazy hobby this is!

Don't forget gen strap $600+

After seeing the Navy themes on the sale forum with the brown leather strap it has struck my interest. I read some impressions of the gen where they said they never really have it a second glance until they saw the navy themes in person. Any Navy Themes Rep owners out there? I searched the forum but got very few hits, I did see a pic of a gen with a brown strap that had blue sticking, and was quite nice. With the addition of the brown strap it to me it almost gives it a safari type look. If you have any pics please post. Cheers

If any one gets tired of a sec @12 let me know -

Thanks for asking...I was wondering the same thing. Got my eyes out for a ROO sec @12 but few and far between

Anyone recommend? I'm liking the black dial

@sardonix I think the safari is the best choice especially seeing your pics!! What strap is that?

Thanks in advance

No. Like a little too flashy. Or too much for everyday wear. It has really caught my eye

Ooooh you might be right about the panda. I had the V1 diver even though it was great the black and steel was a little "plain" for such a piece. How do the bracelets hold up ?

Good point there panerai153. Then what's the best theme for everyday wear? The black themes or chronopassion?

Is the brown strap darker than the photos?

So go for that one over any of the others?

Nice

Please share your thoughts and pics

Nice, Very Nice indeed

I like it. Is the raffles standard? Or do you need to ask for the "branded" version?

Jerk store That brevet crown is that raffles time too?

I question if the tiger and the raffles are the same case

Any Hulks out there?

Is the rep close to gen, aside from the few problems BP maker was having? Is the feel different from the older version? Should the bracelet be a factor in deciding between the 16610 rep and the new ceramic rep?

I almost have myself convinced the no date is the way to go, but don't want regrets.....

I'll check with Narikaa

Where to find the euro mariner? I have had a few cheapie 21j Rollie subs, 1680, a blue dial gold sub, a ceramic silix special, but they all seemed to be thrown together with mix and match parts so I ended up selling them. My daily wear is a Orient snorkler sub and am looking for a Rolex to wear out. And the cheapies did not cut it for me
