chefcook Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Just saw this on Josh's website: http://www.1-pc8838.com/0543-p-9081.html 1.) correct case construction with two piece case back like the genuine 2.) correct divers extension Numbers on the bezel seem a little thin. I hope the bezel lock works on this version. If so I'd have to get a white rep in addition to my black genuine PloProf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offshore Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 And I'm sure there are some out there who would like to acquire the "solid" sapphire crystal versions! I will be interested to see exactly what diameter the new ones are made at! As I still believe the issue with the #1 version relates to size, not lamination technique ( or moisture). I have modified one of the #1 crystals, by grinding it down a few thou, and it has now been refitted for a few weeks, and through some varying temperature changes, and shows no signs of delam or stresses. I would almost bet the #2 version is just a few thou down! O/S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinamm20 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 here we go again now i have to get the new version - with functional pusher and all - hmmmmmm the rep world is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thogaa Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 here we go again now i have to get the new version - with functional pusher and all - hmmmmmm the rep world is But great news. I hope they've fixed that wrist chewing self deploying buckle - other than the happy feet logo and Panama hooker smelling strap I would be worried to be called out wearing a rep because of blood loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 We got a bleeder here... Sometimes a great rep is worth waiting (looking at this one for example or SOH v2 or Skyland v2, etc), but sometimes it's not (discontinued fish, SOH v2, Omega Seamaster 2254.50, some of the Eddie Lee Pams). I guess I just need to hold my grounds on what I care about most and what I less care about and not to be influenced by the beautiful looks (seems like that's what we do for marriage...).
