  1. I never said it was an American drink.. I know it's roots (technically it's an altered Japanese drink) . After Austria it conquered Germany and after that the rest of Europe.... They used a waterfall expansion strategy and not a sprinkler strategy. At first Red Bull was prohibited in many European countries eventhough it was sold in Austria. After some time legislation changed, EG guidelines etc. etc.

    I don't want to go into the details but believe me when I say that Red Bulls' succes in Europe relied a great deal on hype marketing! FYI: It's initial success in America was never as big as in Europe!

    Enough with the thread crapping. You got my point right?

  2. It is muchos $$$ because of the ceramic case, bracelet and the swiss quartz movement. I don't think the 'diamonds' are of a very high quality.....it are just plain old zirconias, like they use in 5 dollar ear rings.

    Don't worry. I really don't think anyone could call her out because of the Zircs ... not even an AD. Unless she takes it of and he uses a diamond tester ... which is highly unlikely :)

    It's not the watch that has to look real.... it's the wearer! ( a $50 jumpsuit and a $5000 watch don't match)

  3. There are some other reps on the way and right now, its not convenient to share some of those projects openly in the Forums till they are more finalised. Like I say, I dont want to create all the hype =)

    ?

    I have a master's degree in Marketing and let me tell you this, creating a hype is a good thing (if you want to increase sales that is)! It's called hype marketing and this form of marketing was also used by Red Bull for succesfully conquering the European market (Google it if you like)!

  4. The rep makers can easily make a 100% perfect rep!

    Why they put all their efforts into making a 99% perfect rep and not make it a 100% right I don't know?....... It could be the 'milking strategy' as mentioned above?!

    The question discussed here is like asking why not every new car made runs on water hydrogen?.....

    It is possible (cost-technical) so......

    There are just too much stakes involved (oil=power=money)!!

    Remember? A 100% perfect rep means that it is identical to the gen (even movement and features)... so how can we keep them appart?.... we can't ! (if we can it is not a 100% perfect rep)......so the whole high-end watch industry would crash in a couple of months/ years. ADs and other sellers and buyers won't be able to tell the difference anymore.

  5. I'll try and post some pics later , however the version you posted must be an earlier one (see below)

    http://www.trustytime.com/index.php?main_p...roducts_id=1030

    The one I have has the dual concentric rings on the dial, the concentric rings on the subdials and the same date window border as the one shown by Angus. The only difference as far as I can see is that "Automatic" is black on my version and red on Angus's.

    Dude.. it's the same watch only a different dial combo. Both have a gen counterpart. Your version and the version shown by Big nasty have no blue AR which is a dead give away.

    The red 'automatic' writing on Angus' version is the new 2007 model which isn't even on Breitlling site but is in the new chronolog 07. That's the one I want! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

  6. I was wondering why the Breitling Evolution doesn't get much attention at the moment. I see very little reviews although there was a hype at the time the watch was launched.

    I myself am waiting for the grey dial version with AR from Angus and was wondering how many people are too waiting for this version?
