Well after a week long wait for CNY to end MRreplica finally responded. He was able to get both the V2and V3. I purchased the V2 because of the remarks for plaifenders purchase which he seems to be happy about. The V3 was only 25 more but I didnt get any info on what makes that version better So Im very excited. Oh its the skyland avenger blacksteel i almost fergot!!!! lol

Ive been having the jitters after sending my money everyone has the V2 blacksteel skyland but I would think the V3 would be better. So i think im good now. As they all say let the wait begin!

It is not V3 in the sense that there was any evolution. The V1 and V2 Skylands were released at about the same time. They were made by different manufactures It was widely agreed that the V2 was visually more accurate for several reason, but mainly because of a half lume dot at the three o'clock position on the V1. Months later the V1 manufacturer fixed the lume dot issue and the watch was now referred to as V3. Because none of its other minor shortcomings were addressed, it is still visually inferior to the V2.

This is my buddy I referred to RWG! We met when I noticed a really sharp gen he had been wearing around work. ;) Hopefully he shares some pics of these beauties!

Glad to see you got it man, you won't be disappointed, I cant wait to see it! MR is great, I was emailing him today myself. Great choice on both watch and dealer, exactly what I would've done. Next time I see you I'll be back from NYC with a new piece of jewlery myself... A ring. :)

Funny thing is MR asked and they said there was no difference in the coatings. So im just hoping his V2 is the same V2 that everyone sells which it should be. By the time that watch comes in i might have another surprise.

As for pics hopefully Daniel wouldnt mind lending a hand *cough,cough*

I don't seem to be in the know.....is Marvellous Replica a member here or a dealer (if yes, where)?

hes a dealer on the rwi forums. Hes not here to my knowledge.

www.marvellousreplica.com I basically emailed him . He hand pics the watches for you instead of drop shipping. He also tests to make sure each watch works great. I specifically told him my concerns on the lume and the pushtabs.

Heres the watch what do you guys think overall??There are lots of other pics and even one hook up for the beats but this is what matters to me it has a couple of lume probs but it doesnt bother me too much. I care more about the overall shade of the black steel coating. MR is very helpful his pics are very good Im very pleased with his service so far!!!

So my skyland came in today. I'll give you guys a fast review. Its small !!!! lol Im used to my SA the overall quality is great Im impressed as this is my first replica the only thing Im not to happy about is the rubber strap. Its way weak compared to my gen on the SA. To put it into retrospect for some people. Do you remember when those live strong wrist bands came out couple of years ago it was a nice stiff band. Then all these other bands came out for every other thing like breast cancer etc. those straps were all flimsy. Well this is the same. I'm making it a priority to get a gen band as I feel this is going to break. I wish I could take pics but my camera sucks balls. MR replica was great to purchase from his response and comm. were A++ He shipped the item Sunday my time and I got it today thursday. Very well packaged. The AR coating is extremely blue so in the future I guess ill have it redone. Overall I like this watch I wish I saw a gen so I could compare to but I think this is enough to say Ill definetly buy another rep. I have a Gen SOH 46 coming in so I think I might purchase a rep SOHC If I can ill take some pics but its gonna take some time.

Those pics posted are from MR replica himself lol. I cant even get mine to take pictures like that!!

I was trying to be funny :D you said your camera "sucked balls", now tell me who would not want a camera with those special talents? It would probably need to zoom for me though :unsure:
