Craig88 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 I think my next rep needs to be a white face with bracelet as it will be a nice contrast to my current dark face leather strap watches. Vacheron constatin overseas is a nice looking option but not really a super rep. Cartier santos 100 seems to be very accurate but there are so many variations and they are pretty pricey at around $400. Super avenger is prob a bit too big and don't like the risk of 7750. UN maxi diver also good looking but no where near accurate. I feel I'm at the stage where I need a rep that has no apparent flaws. I just wont be content looking at a watch knowing that the X and the XL of the santos should be touching when they're not or that the cross on the VC is shaped incorrectly. I can manage a pam there the 3 might be slightly different shape but you could only be sure if you had the gen there to see. Some watches like the big pilot 5002 and 5004 are an easy quick glance without needing a gen as they have very apparent flaws. Any other white dial bracelet options?
erickelly155 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 Check this out, I just received my black face bracelet one and its an amazing watch, could not be happier with it. The pics don't do it justice and the watch is better quality than the pics. http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=41_210&products_id=4209
rogerthat Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 Breitling sfso would seem to check all of your boxes (the new release version)
Craig88 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Posted April 13, 2012 Thanks for the ideas. Not really a rolex guy so thats fairly low down on my wanted list. The sosf is a very expensive rep for a gen that can be had for under $2k so seems like bad value to me. Santos might be the best bet so far... Hmmm
ThePimp Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 I do like the SOSF, its been tempting me for a while now
Craig88 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Posted April 13, 2012 It seems a lot people like the sosf. I just don't understand why they don't buy the gen when it can be purchased for around $2k as opposed to the rep going for $400 which still needs service, ar etc and then still has some flaws.
Craig88 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Posted April 13, 2012 I take that back. Just been researching them and seems can be picked up for $220 asian mvmt which is a good price.
Broker1981 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Posted April 14, 2012 I just bought this one! It's arriving on Tuesday! :clap2: 1
tomhorn Posted April 14, 2012 Report Posted April 14, 2012 +1 on the Ebel. One of the most accurate reps you can find.
Craig88 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Posted April 14, 2012 That omega looks interesting. Haven't come across that before. The VC is such a beaut. I'm so tempted to get it as well.
GooseRoo Posted April 14, 2012 Report Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) Just purchased... Wish I'd bought a white faced Colt. But i knew the hands would wash out against the dial with my old peepers. My gen is blue. Can't really complain...too much. Edited April 14, 2012 by GooseRoo
BigBuys Posted April 14, 2012 Report Posted April 14, 2012 How could it be wrong, when it is so right?
