Yea. Very nice comparison... but not for those previously interested in the rep, eh...

Hey is there water inside the crystal in that shot?

I don't think I'd buy any rep that wasn't modifiable to a certain degree.

Pulled out the ole 196 yesterday, and will let it ride today...

Very sweet, nix. I stuck one of your pics in my eye candy thread. Thanks!

Well there are a few comments on the case in the thread now.... one of which is mine.

Nice shots. On my monitor, they're about 2/3 a stop underexposed but the nice thing about HDR is that's easy to adjust!

OK I really dig the Zentons. Michael sent a list of custom hand and dial configurations, and this one has spoken to me: Here's more info from Michael: You can custom configure to your liking: You get a leather strap, a black rubber strap, and the bracelet in a nice box - Some of the options in the flesh:

Don't tempt me.... "Did you get a custom engraved serial on that knockoff case?"

Ah... Did they send you pics and specs, hackR?

My thoughts exactly..... hmm

I dunno... I guess I've always found it a bit humorous. But then I'm a bit of a troublemaker. I don't partake, but I don't put my frankens in my pocket when I browse around inside ADs either.

Very cool... Props to Dr Frankenstein!

Hmmm, from what I can see on zentonwatch.com they look very interesting indeed. I don't see anything for sale yet, though. Have you?

You're right, Ubi! I see numerous influences here, and Ploprof is certainly tops among them.

Any divers watch that you're going to use for its intended purpose, IMO, should not have double AR. It WILL get nicked up. My real question, though, is how many people are buying their Rolex to go diving? 5% maybe? So, in reality, I'd say they should indeed double AR coat them because it adds so much visual pop. Maybe they'll see the light eventually.

Never? Ever? Honestly, you seem rather green yourself. No put down intended. But the facts are this: You will get called out with every rep that passes through this forum by someone who knows what they're looking at, sans the best of the best frankens. And you will, albeit rarely, find yourself in a questionable situation with even the most seasoned of dealers. Josh, Andrew, Angus, you name it. [censored] invariably happens from time to time in this hobby, and no dealer can possibly make everyone happy all the time. So rather than spreading around a false sense of security and creating expectations that can't be met with a one stop noob guide, I'd prefer to simply let the fora function naturally. We at RWG don't lead people astray. The whole point is to have open discussion about a passion from many different points of view, and the best thing a noob can do is ... simply participate. In the process of doing so, they'll learn more than is ever possible to encapsulate concisely.

Nice touch. And by the way, if you ever get tired of wearing it, you could fill that deeeeep rehaut with water and keep tetras in it.

Same looms. LOL Mickey, don't bother with valuesuit, IMO. It has the usual look of the type of webfront that will picture one thing, ship another, and then 6 months down the road leave you wondering why there are $2200 worth of fraudulent transactions on your CC. I don't have the occasion to wear suits often. But if I did, KB would be my man. No ifs, ands, buts or butts about it.

Not bad for the DW. 79 SGD is about 55 USD. They look good in his pic, and it's not like these things are easy to get right.

Heh. You do have a point there.

Damn.... Looks like I'm getting a Helson tomorrow! It's just money, right?

Nice pics... This watch has as much presence on the wrist as an SA, in a less flashy sort of way. I like it a lot.

BTW, my father has this gen, but with the TT bracelet.... And there is no doubt that it's an attractive timepiece.
