DZmaster Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 This is my first review, my first post and first Rep acquisition, so please guys, bare with me. I decided to post because I have learned so much from this forum I thought I should give back a little. I don't know much about watches, all I know is that I like them! This review is for a GRAHAM Chronofighter Oversize Commander. The watch is very nicely made with a few flaws, althougth I cannot compare VS the original because I've never seen it, I believe the quality is not perfect. There are two things that bother me: 1.- The letter engravement on the rubber strap could be better, it is not as deep as some other reps I',ve seen. 2.- The chrono trigger waggles, it even vibrates when I'm driving becoming a bit annoying. Here are a few pics. Sorry for the pictures quality it's totally my fault. Thanks for watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Very nice first post, thanks for the pictures! Who was the dealer, how much was it? You have purchased a good first rep right there, the Grahams are considered to be very well constructed replicas! As for the lever wobble, I believe there is a mod/fix for that posted somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Very nice! Almost bought this one, but went for the Overload III instead! How is the CF quality? Think I am going to have to get this one next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZmaster Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 The dealer was Josh. It cost 358USD. I don't know what CF means, I'm sorry. Remember I'm new, hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 The bezel area is meant to be CF (carbon fibre) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZmaster Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 The CF bezel looks pretty good. A good friend of mine that saw the watch, immediatly notice the CF. Now this friend knows a lot about GEN watches so I take it he didn't notice it was a REP (he didn't inspect it at close eye, he just saw it on my wrist).

Mickey Padge Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 You made the right choice to buy a rep at the higher end of the scale in terms of quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I agree with Mickey Padge...going high end for the first one is a good one to be shocked into how much fun lays ahead for the hobby. Congrats...and great first post. Thanks for spending the time to post and share. BTW...do you find the lever gets in the way or digs into your wrist at all??

Dear Toad, The lever does not interfere with your hand movement at all if you wear it on your left wrist. On the other hand...hmmm...yes, if you wear it on the right hand then it does dig on the wrist. I wear it on my left wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
