metaljesus Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hey folks, just saw this on King's site: Its not avaliable yet but as she's listed it, I assume its on the way. Doesnt look perfect, but it does look a bucket load better than anything else thats out there. In a couple of generations time this could be great. Also, unless it has a massive crown and pushers, it looks alot thinner than we were all expecting: There is no info on the movement on her site yet, just that it is automatic. Unfortunately I've just sold my gen of this so I cant do a side by side comparison review. Might be able to borrow one from a friend for one though. How exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 You don't need to do a side-by-side to see this version is crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaljesus Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Wow some people are just hell negative, hey? Yeah its not brilliant. But it is a heap better than any Monaco rep seen so far. Monaco and chronograph font is wrong. Logo is too big. Sub dials are completely wrong. Date wheel is really low. Crown is huge. 1/5 second markers are missing. Hands are all wrong. But it's still be best Monaco rep I've seen and I'm glad they are working on it...

ubiquitous Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I suspect this is an Asian 'faux chrono' type movement. The subdial spacing doesn't look like any auto chrono movement I'm familiar with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Look at the numbers on the subdials! 7 days and 12 hours faux chrono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I think there would be more interest if this rep were a substantial improvement over the last batch of quartz Monacos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Im really suprised by the lack of interest on this. I guarantee you, if there was a great Monaco rep available there would be a LOT of interest. It's one of the most anticipated watch model yet to be repped. This kind of cheap stuff doesn't (generally) interest the membership. I guess we have become a bit "snobbish" because we've been spoiled with too many amazing replications. But you're right. It doesn't mean that we couldn't enjoy the cheaper reps as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 its a quarts watch that's my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaljesus Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Oh dont misunderstand, im not planning to buy it (although the thought did cross my mind initally). Monaco was the watch that brought me here but Ive since bought the gen and re-sold it because I didnt like wearing it. So odds are a bad fake version wont get much wrist time either I have however never seen king lie on her site (ie call a quartz an automatic) so I was hopeing there was a new chrono movement that a better model would come from. But im sure ubi is right re: faux chrono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
