thomasng Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Anyone else here a fan of Roger Dubuis? I hope I'm not the only one. I can only pray that there will be some half-decent Roger Dubuis reps, they shouldn't be too hard to do, especially the Easy Diver Chrono which uses a Lemania wind movement. The makers can rep heavy dive watches like the PAM 187, so why not another hockey puck like the Roger Dubuis models? Their base models are easy to rep to, no issue with dates, as all of their base models only have the hours and minutes, and a few have seconds. The only unfortunate thing about Roger Dubuis is all their models have a display back, and this will be the ultimate giveaway. Also, the repmakers may have a hard time replicating the carbon fiber accents on the cases of the Sport Activity Watches like the Easy Diver, Acqua Mare and the Sea More.

Goochenbrau Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I love easy divers. I made a post similiar to this about a week ago, and I got no reponses. Trusty Time has a easy diver rep, but Im not that impressed. If you ever find a good rep, definately let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I'll bet that when Narikaa gets back from China he'll have some nice ones. Every trip he seems to bring some good ones back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I feel the love on their watches (DeWitt too). To date all the reps have been pretty bad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonton2000 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Even a golden square with the correct sized case would be welcomed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faber Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 i really like their watches...but no good rep...i have an asian 2 much...but kind of fantasy one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasng Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 DeWitts should also be easy to rep, the base models use ETA movements, and as rep makers have successfully imitated the retrograde seconds function, I don't see why we can't have 95% accurate DeWitts.

bruce79 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 An old acquaintance of a few years back was, and probably still, is a regional sales associate for Roger Dubuis (SWUS). I was hanging with him before I found this site and before I knew anything about watches. He was a friend of a friend that I'd run into ever once in a while. Anyway, he would always have on these Roger Dubuis watches and he'd tell me, 'This one's about $35k...this one is $75k' I didn't know what they were then but the sheer cost of them blew me away. When I asked, he'd often let me try them on and wear them for a while throughout the evening. He told me a story...he once had to take a RD watch valued and over $200k to a client in Mexico City for a viewing. He was so scared of getting his bags stolen that he carried it in his pocket. He's told the story several times and he always trips out every time he tells it. Anyway, thought I'd share. I too would love to see some decent RD reps.

Guest TTK Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) Unfortunately this is about as good as it gets for RD....I wish they hadn't done the chrono version.....! Edited September 7, 2006 by TTK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 @TTK...i agree with you...without the chronos this one would be very nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochenbrau Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Unfortunately this is about as good as it gets for RD....I wish they hadn't done the chrono version.....! TTK, would it be that difficult to make the chronos correct? I would think it would an easy fix to get them correct (if designed correctly from the beginning) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TTK Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) If you look closely....you'll see that the sub dials are very close to the hand stack......perhaps a bi-compax Poljot might work..Val72......or a Lemania / Venus....how about it The Zigmeister.....

crystalcranium Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 RD unveiled a very ambitious plan for the coming year at Basil 2006 as it is introducing 5 or 6 new in house movements and plans on being a leader in haute horology in house movement manufacturing. now if they could just get their heads out of their asses when it comes to designing the outside of the watch! Butt ugly pieces if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
