docblackrock Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 There's just something about matching accesories... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Not bad at all. Both pieces have the same pannel. Enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) Quartz reps are often very cool. The only one thing that bothers me with them is the wandering, useless 24h subregister. I wish the rep factories could freeze that by default, use the original subdial markings and the watch would have much more accurate look. Same problem with my Ebel quartz. Even though genuines might have the AUTOMATIC markings on the dial the rep factories should refrain from printing it on the quartz reps. Doesn't go well with those ticking stopwatches. Otherwise this is a damn fine looking piece. I actually considered it too at some point. I wouldn't mind getting the Formula-1 and Indy quartz reps, either. Thanks for sharing!

Sorry but who said anything about QUARTZ??? Actually the 'AUTOMATIC' dial marking is accurate in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vric Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) Actually, the Quartz version have good marking. It use the 60 minutes chrono Miyota OS20 movement, with second at 6, minutes at 9 and 24 hours at 3. All sub dial are correctly marked. It's not accurate vs the gen, but at least you don't have ticking second on a sub-dial with 24 marking or 1/10th like some quartz rep.

verbal Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Damn, you fooled me at first sight. I didn't look at the subdials and was focussed on the black datewheel, since I haven't found a nice SLR with black datwheel I assumed it was real. After having a second and third look, the subdials are wrong plaus the pushers and crown are off. nevertheless, the dial, except for the indices, looks spot on. Where dit you get it .?

After having a second and third look, the subdials are wrong plaus the pushers and crown are off. nevertheless, the dial, except for the indices, looks spot on. Where dit you get it .? yes, that black datewheel (almost flush with dial too ) does have a mesmerising effect - the WIS eye goes straight to it and neglects the other very obvious flaws, like the missing 9 o'clock crown (), and the subdial indices. Still a case swap with a quartz (same 12mm thickness strangely) would fix the missing crown issue, if I can be bothered. I guess the old adage also rings true in that presentation is everything - I have the car to match (not a rep by the way ) Having had the gen on my wrist for a week's approval, I can tell you the only other slight difference is the rep has a slightly smaller case than the gen - similar difference with Subs (<5%?), barely noticeable and only when side-by-side. As for where I got it from, suffice to say it's an 'off menu' item from one of our most trusted dealers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
