PeteM Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I thought I would pop some quick pics of this new rep on here... as a watch I really like it.... I dont really like to get into the details on watches like this as I can get a bit anal so I reserve that aspect for my PAMs any other marques and I would blow a gasket !!! ;) Overall.... I think this is a great watch with great wrist presence...... I did a little research on this watch and found there were a few versions of it before final release and a few OOR issues with variations.... thats all I need to know to feel comfortable enough to wear this without discussing its flaws... However from the point of view of the watch... purely as a watch.... I will say.... The strap only just gets round my wrist.... I get it to first hole.... if I was in a hotter place it wouldnt fit... so be aware... The lume is [censored] The crown has the usual HB foible... ie it dont screw straight and dont sit flush against the case AR is on a par with the current PAMs from the HB factory.... doesnt compare to the old HB AR... those that know what I mean... however it aint bad Bezel crown works great... but some numbers aint straight... most notably the 20 Nice movement. very clean sweep and decent +/- I know a few guys have made mention of the crystal and yes it dont sit as per gen but one thing I did learn is the gen crystal on these is 6mm thick so I think the rep factory is always going to struggle on this particular aspect not just in terms of height but distortion in relation to AR etc. Any way I like it as a watch and have no issue wearing it... but I would only wear it for what it is... nothing more Still loving the cartel spiel ....

MADRED7 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I think its a nice rep for the price...congrats. Q: can´t we just file down the crown a bit to have it closer to the case??? Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 This looks like a great piece. It looks good on your wrist. I think this would be too big for my wrist, which is a shame. So for now I will just admire the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
