section8 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Very nice watch, but i'd prefer the non-chrono version as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) Fantastic!!! My holy grail watch!! Edited December 2, 2006 by thrillseeker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 It wasn't a holy grail until I saw this post. I am indifferent to the "wood" back. Any accurate version would be fine though. I wonder what the timing will end up being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonton2000 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Well at least we will have a good indicator of how long it takes to develop a rep watch from a gen. Very good work Angus, and im sure you'll be very busy with orders this xmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureTime Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Angus, will this herald replicas for the entire Aquatimer range? The case design is the same. I will be buying the plain versions as soon as they are available. I believe there will be. yea, im with pug. I would love one with an Eta 2824 EDIT:heres a pic of the original for reference My pics are original as well Because this one has just started to produce. YES!!! I'm on this... so fast, my wife is gonna kill me @PT... Your watches are coming out at an amazing pace, and they are great choices!!! Keep this up and I'll be living under a bridge selling banana skins Can the manufacturers do genuine Tritec Super Luminova? I know the material is expensive, but I would think the extra cost would be relatively minimal and surely much more precise than sending them out to get redone. The SuperLuminova is really expensive and the factories are not willing to do it. But if someone can supply the lume and I can do the re-lume for them. If there is an ETA non-chrono Costeau in the works I am all over it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureTime Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Oh no , Can't take it any more so many new watches .... the fever starts again: Priorities: 1) RX EXP II White, with correct date font, long GMT hand and blank rings around the dots (on the way) 2) OMGA PO 45 mm (yes I am waiting for the 7th version ... it should come) 3) New AP RO 4) Breitling Steelfish Superocean (my very first Breitling) 5) RT/Jay new watch (I guess this will take 4 to 5 months to have it ready) 6) New IWC Auqatimer C.D. listed here 7) Jessica's ass pictured above (.... I think I will put this 1st n the list). .....btw , no Panerais guys ???? 2 is out already. There are 5 PAMs are going to release shortly (all with sapphire crystal with AR and CORRECT date mag and font)! Angus- That is a stunning piece. The Aquatimer Chrono has always been one of my gen favorites. If the rep looks anything like some of the pictures above it could well become one of my rep favorites. I am quite sure the rep will be very accurate, just like the HBB. loving the rehaut....hope it is 1:1 No need to hope, it must be Very nice watch, but i'd prefer the non-chrono version as well. It should also be done later. I am very interested in a chrono version (swiss 7750 only) I may ask if I can do a special order for you. It wasn't a holy grail until I saw this post. I am indifferent to the "wood" back. Any accurate version would be fine though. I wonder what the timing will end up being. It will take about 2 months to release. Well at least we will have a good indicator of how long it takes to develop a rep watch from a gen. Very good work Angus, and im sure you'll be very busy with orders this xmas! The appox time of developing a rep from a gen is 45 days, so we usually say 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can a customer get the watch with a metal bracelet instead of the strap? Nothing feels like steel on the wrist Moreover, if there are enough sales, would you consider making a rep of the aquatimer split minute????

nxuan Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi Angus, Can the manufacturer do real AR coating on the sapphire? That will be major plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi Angus, Can you please tell me if there are plans to bring out the pilot chrono? This is the watch to die for. I would really appreciate it if you can talk the factories into making this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 The SuperLuminova is really expensive and the factories are not willing to do it. But if someone can supply the lume and I can do the re-lume for them. What if a bunch of people were to chip in on SL for the watches we want? A gram is about $100, but that much may do 3-4 watches... If that is the case, I'd much rather have it done in real Tritec SL than relume, it's always better by machine. If this is feasible, please let's have a show of hands... Obviously, we have to find out from the manufacturer if this can be done with the printing methods they use. I tried both the Cousteau divers and the yellow/steel today with Quarks (he was ALL giddy over the white gold Portuguese with gray dial These watches are just stunning in the flesh and wear soooo well!!! I can't wait to see these coming out of here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I'm just curious to see how they'll replicate the wood case back. Wasn't more reasonable (i mean easier) trying to make a perfect replica of the normal version with ss bracelet?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAHLER Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 @Ryaku and the particular chrono button for rotatable inner ring.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 MWAHAHAHAHA!!! YESSSS!!!! After spending over grand on gen dials for watches that never get repped, I finally guessed one right! I saw a dial a couple of months ago and thought, I wonder if they'll make this one..." so I bought it. I presume I'm going to need to get a swiss 7750 w/ day and date to make the dial work? If the factory spent this much on a gen to copy, might I suggest something else, that I think would sell bigtime based on threads I've seen over the years? Asia 7750 would work with: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK08 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I absolutely can't wait for this one! Angus said probably will be ready sometime in March seems like an eternity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chad Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Why not just the standard aquatimer line? more options for straps and models = more sales for you guys.... Why rep a limited edition model with wood case back? I'll never understand why some watches get made and others not.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 @chad... easy answer on this one... the Standard Aquatimer is 2mm smaller in case size... This limited edition is a different case from the others in the Aquatimer line... I hope the standard aquatimer chrono and its base also become available... in Ti.
