Ive been looking for a corvette based ferrari daytona rep for years, but i cant seem to find any really good ones. They used to be on ebay all the time, but not anymore. It sure is a beautiful car though.

just got mine back from angus. It seems to run fine now. Gonna wear it for the next couple of days, to see how reliable it is.

If You want to go for the bling factor. Big Bang is it.

I just received my concord c1, and it is absolutely amazing. Build quality is spot on, and i cant fin any flaws on it at all.

Concord is more of a "technical" watch. All my friends are going nuts over the design. My girlfriend likes the hublot better though.

So i guess its a corvette/hummer h1 decision here

I must admit, it baffles me how much engineering is going in to rep watches these days. It must be quite a task to get them this good. Especially with the finish and details.

Just to clarify a couple of points. $7-8k is the price of a second hand one. They listed for $13k last year in SS and WG (bezel) with the most basic movement. So new is likely to be $10-11k. And my point was not that he shouldn't buy it. You should just know that if you are ever going to sell it you will likely take a loss. Now why should a "passionate" collector care? Because most "passionate" watch collectors like to have several watches. And often your taste may change. And if it does or there is simply something you like better you will want the ability to sell one to buy another (unless you are wealthy enough that it just doesn't matter of course). In my case, I do like to own several gen watches at one time but I also always want to have the capability to sell one to buy another without taking a bath. And for that reason I never buy new. Nine times out of ten you are guaranteeing yourself a 30-40% discount the next day. And in the case of brands with no respect in the resale market I will still consider it but think long and hard before doing it - passionate or not. In fairness you should have none of these concerns if you know that you will be keeping this one for life. Just remember life is long - or so we hope.

The point exactly. Ive had quite a few gens already, and although i do agree to the buy out of passion concept, i just know myself to well. If i bought the easy diver, id be bored with it in two years time.

Thats one of the main problems with collecting reps. A watch becomes a watch. Gen or rep, they receive the same treatment, and mentally have the same "value". At the same time i crave for something new all the time.

I wish i could settle for one watch, and be done with it. Thats never going to happen though

Its a luxury problem. Millionaire watch habbit on a low budget :D

I was going for the silver faced one btw.

I was going for a 2 hand one, but if the new ones are availlable for 7-8000, it hardly seems worth it to buy a pre owned one for 6300.

I recommend Blancpain Fifty Fathom...

The fiffty Fathom is a boring watch imo. Then i might aswell buy a submariner and be done with it. Im more in to these crazy watches, and thats why the easy diver appeals to me. It just seemed like super value for a watch that was so expensive.

Im seriously considering buying a gen easy diver. The non chronos go for 6300 dollars, and since the dollars is so low, this is cheaper than a new submariner in Denmark. Easy divers are around 15.000 from new.

Just wondering if anybody has any experience with these? I find the design very interresting, and the fact that they build their own movements, makes it an even better deal.

Its sporty manufacture :D

bet a gator strap would go nicely with that dagger. :D

So basically you just want the answer and then move on. Nice one.

I meant that to the thread starter off course.

As Phoband said, the answers are all here... forum members are usually happy to help - unless you give them the feeling that your first stop is the "answer all my questions in five minutes so I can move on and buy my rep" section.

Enjoy the addiction...

So basically you just want the answer and then move on. Nice one.

im in either way. It looks great:-)

also me for the dealer please. Got a vertu phone earlier, but it didnt work in the eu.

wtf????

Seriously? For mere mortals like us, there's one stall that sells the so-called MBW watches. Apart from that, effectively the rest is [censored].

You can find reps in Patpong or anywhere else, but the quality is shoddy. Save your time and use a dealer on the forum. I wasted a lot of time looking for decent reps; time I could have spent watching girls removing their clothes or something.

i 2ond that. You live and you learn :D

looks cool to me:-)

i have onw, but i cant find it atm. I recently moved, and my stuff is still in boxes. A beautifull eod that is:-)

I'm amazed that there are people out there who would actually ask a complete stranger (or even a friend) if his watch was real! Until coming across this forum, the thought never even crossed my mind. However, just in case, I've come up with the perfect answer, "I hope so!" *grin*

Lol. I have an even better reply.

"No, its an optical illusion"

Dumb questions require dumb answers:-)

Anybody have any news on this one? it was supposed to be released mid june. Now its mid juli.

I really do like it.

It could be just poorly serviced. It is the 7750 after all. It is supposed to have jewelled gears, so lets see what happens.

I sent it back today via airmail. Hopefully the dealer will fix it, or send me a replacement.

Its too bad, because the watch was fantastic otherwise. Not a flaw on it.

I am seeing the same problem. Maybe worst than yours. i wind for 40 rounds and it runs for a couple of mintues and then it stop. i shook and i ran then it stop in couple of minutes after that.

Did you find a solution for it? comments from anyone? That is one of the reason i should get out of this rep collecting.

I am asking King for a refund. let's see what she say.

Don't get me wrong the watch is very nice but there is a major QC issue. I am having tough time push the crown back after pulled it out to wind.

Absolutely same problem im having. Ive tried everything, and its not working. Im speaking to the dealer about it too. Hoping he will swap it for another one.

I just got a lovely white faced silver dial roo in yesterday, and ive been wearing it ever since. The only problem with it, is that it keeps on stopping. after i swirl it around a bit, and put it on my wrist, it goes well for about 15 min, and then it stops. First i thought i wasnt moving enough to keep the power reserve up, but then i realized it always stops at exactly 0,45 seconds on the dial. Cant be a coincidence.

I already wrote the dealer, so lets see what happens. I just dont want to live with out it for another month.

and one of the most expensive, I bet on more than 1000$...

And probably the only rep id gladly pay over a 1000$ for, considering the titanium and ceramics.

the white dial verson i got has lume. It even looks pretty good.

id kill for one of these with the seconds at 12. It doesnt look half bad. especially because the caseback is solid on the gen aswell.

Please give us the updated version, oh sweet and holy rep manufacturers:-)

Its absolutely silly. They are using the old mvmnt for this one. Talk about stupidity.
