andreww Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I have always prided myself in being able to find and spot the "tells" in our so called "super reps". Even the best ones will have at least one glaring flaw that will make it instantly distinguishable from the gen. That is until I picked up a Graham Tech Seal the other day. I have been staring at macro shots of both the rep and gen since I got it and have not been able to spot a discernible difference. This one is about as good as it gets my friends!

Mickey Padge Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Cool watches the Graham's, but I would never wear one, which is a shame. I bet the lume isn't the same on the rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 100% agree. The only flaw I have noticed is the dial lume quality. It is actually better on the Rep then the Gens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_brian_ Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Well, that´s not a watch, more like a monster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Lume is okay but not spectacular. What really sets this apart from the rest is the carbon fibre dial. In the sunlight it has a 3-Dimensional appearance. The bezel is outstandingly firm, even better than the gen that I tried on the other day. Is it a monster? Damn straight it is, I've had more comments on this baby in three days than most watches get in a lifetime. I like the look of the watch, but the Jules Verne time machine lever just puts it over the top. Not the kind of watch that you are gonna wear every day, but when you do put it on its going to turn heads, and nobody is going to be able to call you out on this one.

Dave123 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I have always said these have to be the best of reps. Enjoy it Andrew... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I am not kidding but I may be mistaken, I think the CEO of Graham actually admitted that the reps were at times of superior quality compared to his gen line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the guy wonders why nobody has heard of his watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankt Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I shudder at the thought of trying to board a plane wearing one of those!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Agree these are fantastic replication , having had the pleasure of trying one I was very impressed with the quality , alas most are fugly as hell and you've got to be a bit of an action man to pull one off, something currently I am not, but never say never Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 you've got to be a bit of an action man to pull one off, something currently I am not, but never say never These things definitely are going to draw attention, something a lot of guys don't really want. Since the new year I've been on a health kick and have lost 40lbs. Now that I've got a skinny, athletic physique, I don't really mind having people look at me. Make no mistake, that new found confidence had a lot to do with my decision to finally pull the trigger on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Is this the v2 version? Yes it is, although I'm really not sure what the difference between the two are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 So where can I find one of these? Most of our trusted dealers can get these. These guys don't have the Divers listed but they have some pretty good deals on the classics right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Well seeing as your pic has a tic missing each side of the 6 marker I'm guessing it's a version 1 Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Not sure what the issue is withe the ticks. Here is a pick of the gen, and the ticks at 6:00 look the same as my V2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Andrew if you look at the pic that sul put up there is a small tic on each side of every hour marker, except the 6 o'clock marker. ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
