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.

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...

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

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'.
