philwongnz Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Hi guys, Thinking in getting a Rep ROO (non metal bracelet), can you guys recommend a model you think is the best Rep compared with a Gen and also the dealer's name? Cheers Phil
Watchmeister Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Titanium - Latest Chronopassion (4rth generation) from any of the big dealers. SS - Montauk Highway from Torobravo if he still has them. Also latest version of the Safari white dial. Pay the extra $30 for rounded pushers, My 2 cents.
Logan Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Theres a newer version of the movement around with jeweled transfer gears, see Angus (pure times) pics of the v2 Barricello and Survivor. You'd want an Offshore with that, it's a fair bet that it will filter down to the regular models. Puretime just listed a load of Offshores but not movement dial side pics so can't tell if they have the upgrade of not.
philwongnz Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks guys, nice to see a kiwi here! Also any opinions/experience on the metal surroundings on the numbers for some models? It seems Chronopassion is a popular choice (I quite like it myself) but the metal rim which goes around the numbers seems to be lacking on some rep versions or they are just too thin.
edgematic1 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Montauk Highway from Torobravo I have provided Toro of all info on the Montauk and honestly, it looks close but it is not the best AP rep IMO. The blue is very hard to rep, I agree on the Chronopassion and the Safari (with mods, cfr, scraping off the dial paint around the numerals to get the silver borders), I'd also recommend to take a look at the Silver Themes/Panda, Driver Boutique, Tour Auto, Black Themes.
thogaa Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 Would the pusher update be available from the Cartel?
almond76 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 i fell in ;pve the RG rubberclad though, Gray dial looks similar to chronopassion's. No idea how close to gen but it really grew on me.
txcollector Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 The black themes is as close as it gets with the rep.
