One of my favorite Reps... I just received mind from PT - unfortunately, it wouldn't stay powered up and is going back for a replacement... (didn't matter how long it was wound, it would stop in a minute or two)... it's killing me because I've wanted to wear this beautiful watch for quite some time. I agree that it is one of the best reps out there - heavy, solid and extremely detailed face.

I personally like the SFSO, I've about to purchase one myself... I love the white face with black Bob strap, but I think I'm going to get the black face/Bob'd in order to enjoy the AR a little more. As far as IWC, I really like the 3719 Aquatimer over the Cousteau, most people probably feel the opposite. Beautiful watch with very unique clean lines to it. _Brian

Great writeup Pug... I've been reading the 26 page thread for quite a while now. As soon as I hear back from Pure Time I'll be looking to add another rep to my growing collection, in addition to the newest SFSO. This hobby is way to addicting... _Brian

I would return it - the letters look as if my 4 year old was working in the factory... nice watch otherwise.

Silix hasn't heard of the new SFSO yet - now looking into it... hopefully I'll know soon if RWG dealers have it, I've been waiting a month for the new one to be released... ...getting anxious Brian

I'm hearing 2 weeks as well. Silix did have some, though they weren't Swiss movement - also mentioned that they had used models, not new, same problem - out of stock till the 'new' batch comes in. I'm anxiously awaiting these myself. I'm hoping that someone in-the-know will review one quickly so that we can discover what is 'new and improved'. -Brian
