Thober Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hello every one! Im pretty new to the rep world, but I have done ALOT of reading these last 3 months. I finally decided that I wanted the SOFS. A lot of back and forth between different models (BCE, Skyland). But it seemed that the SOFS with the Swiss movement was a better choice. So I ordered my first rep from Joshua, this last week of waiting was torture. Felt like a child waiting for x-mas When a friend of my showed me some reps he has I was amazed, how well these watches are made! The last time i bought a rep watch, was when i was on the beach in Italy and i bought a really crappy Cartier quartz that stopped working after 3 hours. So my expectations was pretty high. I was VERY impressed about the watch! It feels ALOT different from my old crappy D&G watch. Im amazed about all the details this watch has. BUT even as a noob, i can see some things that are not that great. So this is my list of (-): -The first thing i notes d was that the bracelet, really is not that good It dossent feel that great, it feels cheap and the edges is sharp. going to have to get a nice brown leather strap for it xD -Some of the lum dots arnt centerd ( 0,2 mm off) NOT a big deal. -Bezel click sound is little weak -The numbers on the innside (13, 14, 15, 16,.....) is not as well printed Those small thing are really not noticeable. AR is very nice! OVERALL IMPRESSION IS THAT THIS WATCH IS AMAZING! A wonderful gateway watch! Here are some photos: This is how i had packed the watch xD HAHA i got a good laugh when i opend it Thanks to Joshua, it really is amazing!

Jkay Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 A ladies nail file (emery board) carefully applied to the edges of the band will take those sharp edges off. Work slowly and don't use too-aggressive a grit. Some forum members use a toothpick wrapped in fine sandpaper, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSRep Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hey Thober......Congrats on the first rep man! I got my first rep this week too . The SOSF is apparantly one of the best reps out the box. Looks brilliant....Whats the weight like? Shame you dont like the bracelet, but the white dial on a brown strap will look awesome....

fijiman Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 How come you didn't get the with "arrow" second hand. I thought new reps have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thober Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 the watch is nice and heavy Cant wait to get the leather bracelet! But a friend of my took a look at the watch to day, and he says that the bracelet i got is a V1. Since the markings on the inside of the clasp issent right. But i dont know. I think the "arrow" second hand only comes with the asian 21J movement. Im not shure but i like this one better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 probably is a version 1. And I also prefer the square second hand over the arrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thober Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Is it possible to buy a V2 bracelet? I really like the metal bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fijiman Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Is 21J a 21600bp or 28800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Is 21J a 21600bp or 28800? Asia 21j is a low-beat movement. It's a solid workhorse, but not a silk-smooth sweeper. PLEASE NOTE: Not all $5000 gens use 28.8k movements either, so a low-beat might just be CLOSER to the gen than a smooth 28.8k replica watch.

plaifender Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Is 21J a 21600bp or 28800? Asia 21j is a low-beat movement. It's a solid workhorse, but not a silk-smooth sweeper. PLEASE NOTE: Not all $5000 gens use 28.8k movements either, so a low-beat might just be CLOSER to the gen than a smooth 28.8k replica watch. Usually 21j refers to the DG2813 movement which is 21600bph.. some reps are also available with 21j highbeat movements also known as the DG4813. Both are 21j.. but one is highbeat and one is lowbeat. It is true that most watches will come with the lowbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fijiman Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 It is true that most watches will come with the lowbeat. So when the trusted dealers says A7750 28800, is it really 28800 smooth movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 So when the trusted dealers says A7750 28800, is it really 28800 smooth movement? I thought all 7750 movements were 28800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fijiman Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I thought all 7750 movements were 28800 So did I.. I'm confused with the comment above that most reps are low beat. Low Beat to me is not 28800... If "all" are low beat then when dealers advertise 28800, are the just saying because thats what they hear from factories making the reps?

Both are 21j.. but one is highbeat and one is lowbeat. Ohhh I had no idea Fijiman - You misunderstand. He does not mean that most reps come with low beat movements. He means that most watches that advertise 21j workings will arrive at your door with the "21j DG2813 21.6K" movement, and not it's more expensive high beat brother, the "21j DG4813 28.8K" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy1 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I think someone mention on another forum but you may want to remove the first couple of pics. You never knows who is lurking here. Nice watch though. I have Blue dial newer version. Not all A7750 movements are 28k although most newer ones are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
