Forget about the watch, check out the [censored] on Archimede's avatar!
On Topic: I was talking with an engineer at work about the cost difference between 316 and 904 and he estimates that on a watch and bracelet Rolex MAY spend $100 total in the steel cost, depending on volume, how they machine it, etc. And yes, it has Nickel in it.
I should state those numbers are based on two guys standing around talking, nothing scientific.
It seems like someone on here, and I am thinking it was RobbieG, knew someone who had the gen and had nothing but problems with the movement. But yeah, that rep is uglier than Rosie O'Donnell covered in whip cream on a Sybian.
I fail to see how you can judge this watch based on price, I can think of a ton of reps around that price that are awesome. Noobmariner, FA Jones, Tag F1, SFSO Lite, etc. This being quartz, it should not be too hard to make it awesome at that price. Not that I know, but it seems unfair to [censored] on this because of price. That is why we buy reps!
I ordered this earlier today and Lani is right, watch your ass where you order from. Angus is still advertising the old one at a discounted price, only now he calls it the 1:1 perfect version, what a joke.
You are looking at it wrong, it was Karma that caused the watch to be stolen to begin with. That 70's show was awful, karma is coming back around to bite him in the ass.
Scotty-
The Orange Monster should be available almost anywhere if you are inclined for yourself.
I agree with recommending a Seiko but in the interest of coming up with other brands, have you considered a Luminox or Traser. Traser is the name they carry in Europe, Luminox in the US. Same watch. They have tritum tubes in them, they don't glow insane bright like I expected but they are always at a constant "glow" level due to the tubes. The only downside is some of the entry ones are a plastic composite material.
I also have several Zodiac watches and some have screw down crowns, but I can't recommend the brand. They were bought out a few years back by the Fossil watch company and quality went downhill. I had one that broke in a week that they would not stand behind.
