Thanks for that, it was your pictures of that stunning watch that finally persuaded me to go for it! Ah, the bracelet being mainly brushed with polished markers and sides is definitely my preference. The overly polished look can make a watch look slightly gaudy IMO.

Yes, your watch is not the noob version rather it's the h-factory version and yes, Trusty will hopefully stock the noob version once it comes out. If Trusty has both versions then in the description it generally states wether a particular watch is "h-factory" or "noob" version to help the potential customer differentiate between the two versions.

Sorry to hear you've had such rotten luck with your reps. We all get issues with our reps from time-to-time however with the law of averages hopefully you won't be having any more issues with your future reps. MD2020 is great, he'll have your watches in mint condition in no time at all.

Stunner of a watch there. Thanks to yours and others' posts I've ordered one up from Trusty early this morning. Don't think it'll be long before this watch is out-of-stock.

Beautiful watch there mate. I've tended to avoid Rollies however the more time I spend on this forum and the more Rollie pics I see the more I begin to wonder if I'm missing out on something quite special. Would be great to see some more pics of this watch. Perhaps a few lume and wrist-shots.

Yep, we certainly have the sickness! :-)

Beautiful watch especially in grey and I particularly the different strap combos. You've given me some ideas to try when my yellow Wolf arrives from Trusty. I hadn't considered using anything other than the SS bracelet however having seen how nice the watch looks with various rubber and leather straps I'm thinking this watch is a lot more versatile than I had originally given it credit for. Wear the watch with pride, it's gorgeous.

That strap looks good, let me know how it is. If it's decent I might just order one as well. Lol, think I have caught the same sickness. This will be my fourth rep in a little over 4 weeks. The sickness is spreading! Enjoy your watches, after-all we all need a vice (or three!)

Mmm, not sure what to say except that I have a sudden desire to get a tattoo, pick-up a paint brush....and drink milk??

My daily beater

Amazing collections, wow! Makes my wee bottle of Dalwhinnie look positively Shite by comparison.

Wholeheartedly agree, far too young indeed. Disconcerting to say the least as I had not read that he had any underlying condition. RIP

Good man! I've just ordered mine up as well this morning. Great minds, eh? Will be interesting to compare our QC pics. Enjoy!

Thanks derik429, the watch looks gorgeous from the pics I've seen and can't wait to get mine! Yeah, that's the one! :-)

I will most likely use the SS strap, at least for the immediate future. I feel the polished steel bracelet compliments the watch well but now you've got me thinking and I may try to source a decent rubber strap for the future. I'm also looking at getting one of the mesh Breitling bracelets. The SuperOceans look gorgeous on those bracelets.

I was unsure how long the watch would remain in stock so I thought I may as well take the plunge and order it now since I was going to order it sooner-or-later. I'd recommend ordering it to avoid disappointment. It's a cracking watch!

Well, thanks to Hansmeier and a couple of other members who have posted-up some gorgeous pictures of their new Seawolf I could not resist any longer and awoke this morning in a delirious state, drenched in a cold sweat, grabbed the iPad (that had over the course of the night made its way under the pillow), logged-on to TrustyTime (after a bout of cursing whilst frantically trying to remember my TT password), and ordered myself a shiny new Banana Seawolf V2. Now the inevitable waiting game begins till I receive my QC pics (which I shall share here to ensure my old eyes don't miss any details). Pictures of the actual watch received also posted-up on page 2.

Gen's are always nice to have and hold different levels of attraction and pleasure for different people. From my personal experience, I prefer owning and having reps for several reasons. Cost being the primary factor, I am able to purchase so many more reps giving me huge variety than the one gen I would otherwise have for the same money. Since the reps are significantly less expensive, I find myself wearing them far more than any gen (I haven't worn a gen in weeks). The watches are for my own personal enjoyment and as such I find myself as happy if not happier when wearing a good rep as I am when wearing s gen. Once serviced the reps are extremely reliable and accurate which make the gens feel almost redundant. Also, should something untoward happen to the watch then I wouldn't be a distraught as if a gen were to be damaged or similar. Finally, I haven't found gen's to be a particularly prudent investment as I've taken fairly heavy hits each time I've sold one on (admittedly after a fairly short time of owning them). From what I've seen the percentage depreciation on reps is lower than for the comparable gen hence in a slightly unusual way, the reps make reasonable investment sense. At least, that's my thinking/experience on the matter, your mileage may vary.

I second that. Am "patiently" waiting so that I can order-up a blue one.

Well played :-) I thought I was the only one having issues, hopefully it's nothing major and I can go back to searching for the best Sub rep ;-p

Yep, Toro is very reliable and as SSteel said just give Toro some time and he'll get everything sorted out for you. I know the waiting game sucks especially when we're eager to get a new watch but it at least gives you time you build-up your wish list! :-)

Amazing macro shots there, wow! The watch looks beautiful, wear it with pride.

No, it's water resistance will be somewhere in the region of 30m - 100m. There tends to be a degree of variation from one watch to the other due to looser tolerances when the watches are put together.
