droptopman Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Some beauties there. Really like the new 3255 movement, looks sturdy and man great power reserve. Like the Omega retro speedy 57 with arrow hands and this last PP 5524. Also nice to see Rolex bringing back some textured dials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REPPIN Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Ya, I'm liking that new Silver speedy. I just wish it didn't have a picture of Snoopy on it. Totally ruins it for me. I know the point of it, but I don't want a stupid cartoon character on my watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the point of it, but I don't want a stupid cartoon character on my watch. Agreed, interesting case shape and nice tones on the dial. I probably like that the best of these on the page, but the cartoon pic blows it for me. Also from 12 to 3 there is text that says "what could you do in 14 seconds" which is somewhat odd for a watch dial. Like to see it with those two things removed......

lhooq Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks for putting this together. And I'll take that Silver Snoopy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 well, I hate to say it, buy the winner so far is the 57 Speedmaster. Straight lugs, no CG's, ceramic dial, broad arrow hour hand, all SS bezel. I'm not 100% sold on the fake patina, but it's growing on me.

ogladio Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Fullt agree on the retro/broad arrow speedmaster. Good substitute until I can convince lhooq to sell me his... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I have to say that 5524 Patek Philippe looks like something that came out of an LL Bean catalog... boo... terrible. For that price? no frickin' way.. Should be pretty easy to rep tho! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REPPIN Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 POST UPDATED WITH NEW OYSTER PERPETUAL 39MM VERSIONS. I really like that Blue one, would be a good alternative to the standard black 39mm Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Been looking forward to the Blue Pelagos but now I see it I'm not sure I like it, the colour is good but the extra writing on the dial spoils it somewhat Gotta say though I do like the new 39mm !

So what are we supposed to accomplish in 14 seconds? Imagine snoopy tattooed on your woman's ass telling you that failure is not an option....but on a watch...nope, not for me. Not sure why this comes to mind... I see great opportunity for the rep companies though. A nice silver snoopy without, the dog and comments. That will be a collector's item.

jigelow Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I like the Snoopy, too. The first thing that jumped out to me wasn't Snoopy, though. It was the face the 12 o'clock marker looks like a [censored] and balls. I actually like the YM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alterego Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 POST UPDATED WITH NEW OYSTER PERPETUAL 39MM VERSIONS. I really like that Blue one, would be a good alternative to the standard black 39mm Explorer. I very much agree. I tried the blue dial versionat at an AD in West Palm each acouple of months ago and I fell in love with it. It has more "presence" than the 39mm Explorer. They asked $ 5.400 and would come down 5% if they shipped the watch out of state. I'm seroiously considering selling somemof my reps and a couple of gens to go that way.

icoopernicus Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I completely agree, I keep coming back to this post to eye the 39mm Oyster Perpetual, the grey/black is my favourite though. I have been considering the 39mm Explorer in gen as my next large purchase but I could be looking at the Oyster Perpetual instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
