Agreed except to me it looks like 50$ rep, the quality and finish look awful.

Agreed, that crown guard looks flat out gnarly.

Rolex for graduation? I was told not to let the door hit me in the ass on the way out. Until I graduated from college, then the old man asked for a loan.

True story.

Why did you make this in general discussion instead of dealer review?

Don't tell him, but his n00b is showing.

I thought that the bracelet on mine was very sharp on the inside part and rubbed my wrist. Mine was also of the later batch with the crappy numbering on the datewheel.

Maybe I got a bad one but I never could understand this watch as a super rep. It looks close enough but I always thought the fit and finish of it was way off, and oftentimes that is the biggest tell. Your average joe blow on the street won't know the smallest details that we do but they can tell when something feels cheap or poorly constructed.

Regardless, nice review.

I am confused, isn't that James Dowling's wrist?

I am confused. Who is anal enough to recognize a random internet man by a photo of his wrist?

Edited: double double post post

The 36 is Tag's label for an El Primero. Makes sense being that both Zenith and Tag are owned by LVMH.

Yup... his avatar is awesome. Does anybody know who she is.........

Sounds like you need a bigger eyeball (or cyclops).

Don't you know, it is not the size but how you use it! Or so I hear...

Please count me in for three.

That is like the gateway drug to buying a Gaytona.

.... Call me crazy, but as some on TZ have quite rightly said, it would go great with jeans. And that works for me.

I find it quite ironic that people are saying that Rolex is redesigning for more "bling" and the only thing people can say about the result is that it goes good with jeans. I think "bling" and jeans don't match and that a luxury brand should not be designing anything to go with jeans.

I also think that the regular old stainless sub goes great with jeans as it is.

Where is Rolex going?

Fugly, next question.

Rep the in house Panerai = two words, Hell No. Don't see it ever happening.

I am sure someone said the same thing about the 7750 once upon a time!

Riiight back to clocks then

Personally, I think wall clocks are overrated and unnecessary, ticking or not.

Now barometers, now we're talking baby, check out the teak inlay, the brushed SS mount, the metallic blue dial...

You are right, wall clocks are entirely unnecessary. If every place I went to had a wall clock, I would have no excuse to buy watches. And as long as I keep buying watches, I don't need a wall clock.

I think most of the shows they want to watch on the Disney channel is pure [censored]. The girls act like spoiled brats and the attitude they portray is sickening. The children show no respect for adults what so ever. I allow them to watch some of it, in moderation, but I agree with you the TV kids have today is pure [censored].

I would beat that ass if my children acted like those spoiled brat super stars. My children are not perfect, but they are respectful and that's okay with me.

I don't know, I kinda like it. So far the Disney machine has turned out quite a few whores. Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Hannah Montana, and the chick from high school musical. The first two flash their goods to any photographer within earshot and the last two are kind enough to take naked or half naked photos of themselves and post them on the internet. But I don't have kids, so what the hell do I know. If I did have kids they damn sure would not watch however.

From my experience, the people at Tourneau know [censored] about watches. Yes, I have worn mine in and they never questioned it. This was before I knew better, your mileage may vary.

AFAIK At the temp the coating is put on, masking tape won't help. You would end up with the whole thing coated, maybe crappily I might add.

not for me

It is definitely a Fossil, I just found one on Ebay.

I actually dig that Tissot... I'd buy it for the sheer novelty of it all...

Is it a Tissot or is it Fossil upside down? It appears to be the latter to me.

The bad deal about these is all the fake ETA movements floating around.

Your black and white looks much better than mine. Mine has some areas where the silver rings around the white subdials bleed onto the black face. I may have to pick up one of these. I second the motion to know where this is from? If you do not wish to post, send us a PM!
