By-Tor Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ebel BTR and Discovery have become moderately popular reps... no wonder as the design is just superb, and the reps are very well built. Let's see the Ebels!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I tried the gen of this on the other day and it is stunning, we just need to get that subdial fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 *n00b question* What's wrong with the subdial in that pic? Looks fine from here! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Love the 1911 Discovery Panda! The BTR is definitely on the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 *n00b question* What's wrong with the subdial in that pic? Looks fine from here! lol He's referring to the wrong subdial spacing on the BTR rep. The gen has an inhouse movement with tight spacing. 7750 movement can't quite mimic that. It's a big deal for some members... personally I don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ahhh, thank you, I think I recall reading about that before on here They're supposed to overlap slightly, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 As usual... read my documentation. Answers all those questions. The new tight subdial mod got "ok" from Fransisco, but I prefer an unmodified movement. If wrong spacing is the price to pay, then so be it. Lovin' the BTR with or without correct spacing. It's not like Moon Watch or Daytona... it's rather obscure brand and model. The design... well I easily prefer it over most Breitlings, TAGs, Rolexes and Omegas.

meh784 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 beautiful watches. you have anything modded on the discovery, By-Tor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 The 1911 Discovery doesn't need any mods ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 beautiful watches. you have anything modded on the discovery, By-Tor? Nope. It's probably the most accurate replica watch ever done. So it doesn't need any. PS: Ebel has a new consumer brochure (full catalog) downloadable in their site (19MB) http://anonym.to/?http://ebel.com/_pdf/_ca...rochure2008.pdf Here's a smaller gents-only collection file: http://anonym.to/?http://ebel.com/_pdf/_ca..._collection.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 One of the BTRs points for me is the over size subdial, it just draws me to it. @ BT how does thayt very fine brush finish hold up to normal wear and tear, does it pick up more scratches?

By-Tor Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 @ BT how does thayt very fine brush finish hold up to normal wear and tear, does it pick up more scratches? I'm very easy on my watches and I can't get them scratched much at all. I haven't noticed any scratches on my BTR yet. The bracelet is one of the biggest draws on it. Very high quality and I really like those "rounded" edges on it. So definitely get BTR with the bracelet. Nothing wrong with the strap though, but I'm a steel man myself.

robertk Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 These Ebel's are among the most underrated watches. They absolutely put some more expensive brands to shame on looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Still haven't shot some new pics with my 50D but these will do. This is the EBEL 1911 senior 18K gold. It's not getting a lot of wrist time lately Still need to buy a new croc for it. Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubik888 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Here's my 1911 Discovery on strap ... As much as i like this design, i'm flipping this one for another. If anyone is interested, please PM me. I'll thrown in a brand new strap with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just shot this picture... this watch never ceases to amaze me. The bracelet, design and overall quality of the rep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I have a Panda on order from PT but it's this one I REALLY wish they would rep! What are the chances of being able to get a gen dial..anyone? If I get on with the rep then I think I'll HAVE to buy this as a Gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I really like the silver bezel on BT and Lani's. For now, I will settle for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Your gen is stunning Roninq. It has an outstanding movement... and the rotor is super cool of course. I have considered the gen as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I like this watch so much, it has basically replaced my Blacksteel. (Black & Red theme). I will snap some pics of the movement shortly. It is stunning. This is the best functioning / usable chronograph I have owned. Makes gen 7750's feel bleh...

By-Tor Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Makes gen 7750's feel bleh... Yeah... BTR is in the different class. I rank it into the Daytona/Zenith category... maybe even higher. Here's a great review of the watch... I'm sure you'll find it interesting (in pdf format). You need Acrobat reader for it. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LDV6YS11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
