BlackFlash Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'm looking forward to making a purchase of the Colt 44 from Trusty Time. I happen to like the white face with black rubber strap for a sporty look (though I do like the brown leather and link). Seems as if this model isn't exactly the most popular. Regardless, it's a fairly inexpensive piece ($98) that has a modest look and a quartz movement (per gen). Do you think it being so "modest" (read: not flashy at all) is why it's not spoken of too much, is it a not-so-great rep, or both? Chime in and let me know what you think of the watch and the rep. I've been reading a lot on this site, but still don't think I have a critical eye like many of the seasoned members on here. Thanks.

By-Tor Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 There are hundreds of reps. Do you have a link to that particular watch? It would have been easier to comment if we actually knew how the watch looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackFlash Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 http://bit.ly/139B6jw Perhaps the link above is a better resource than me describing it. Again, it's the Colt 44 with a white face and black rubber strap. Fairly easy to navigate to on Andrew's website even if the link doesn't work (which it should). Hope this helps with the conversation. Flash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackFlash Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I just double checked and the link does work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Its a quartz so not talked about much..... $98.00 watch so great price but cheap watches do not get much attention bezel and pearl look quite inferior on this replica...but I am not a Breitling expert Gunnar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Doesn't look too great to me, either. The pearl looks like a pimple that's about to burst. Spend a little more and get a decent Fish replica like this: http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_144&products_id=9241 Much nicer watch than Colt (gen or rep).

sgtguk Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 If you like the white dial toro and a couple other dealers have SOSF V2 on special atm $ 208 which is bargain bang for your buck http://www.torobravos2013.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=656 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackFlash Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I do like the Fish. Toro seems to offer it with a white face and black rubber strap. That's the combo I was looking for. Though the Colt 44 is a "cleaner" face, the SteelFish is a close second. And with it being a closer-to-gen rep, it just might do the trick.

sgtguk Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 The white dial is a beaut mate, mine says hi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackFlash Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 As is the mesh band! Very nice combo! Helloooooo to you too! Who was the seller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Who was the seller? Bought mine from Sead/Supermirrors when the V2 came out, mesh has gone now sadly but dealers have them in stock I love mesh bracelets in pics but they feel too blingy when I wear them, weird I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackFlash Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 As it turns out, Andrew just emailed me to let me know that the Colt isn't available. Maybe it's time to get the Fish after all! Apparently, I'll have to go through him as I now have a credit. Hopefully, he can get his hands on a decent copy.
