brianrheffron Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) 1. Today I got my XXL from Ruby and I am hugely pleased with it. This is a top quality rep. The case,face, hands and lume, crown and display back are all very accurate and the brown croco-leather strap and deployment clasp are pretty good too. I tried this watch on in "Watches of Switzerland" in Glasgow, Scotland a few days ago and I can honestly say that the rep. gives away very little in fit, finish and general feel to the original. I have three gen. Omegas ( a Speedmaster Professional Mk 111, a Seamaster 300 and a Seamaster Deville) and the rep. does not look out of place in their company. It really is that good! Dealing with Ruby was a pleasure. My E:mails were replied to promptly, I was kept informed at all stages of the transaction and the watch was on my wrist 11 days after the payment was made. I can't imagine better service. Best of all was the price. I paid $119 including courier post to my door and at that price this watch is a steal. I feel, as they say in Scotland, that "I have won a watch", a phrase used when you land on your feet, get a stroke of good luck or a pleasant surprise. 2. How lucky we are to be watch geeks at this time. The quality of reps. is good and getting better and the prices are just so keen. Let me put it in perspective.

Me too, was so close a few times getting a genuine, but maybe I'll get my training wheels first and see if I want to drop that much cash.

brianrheffron Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Thanks for the replies. The note on the XXL was my first post ever and I am pretty new to this Group. As yet my attempts at photographing watches have been pretty poor but with the hints from this and other Groups I will give it another go when I get time. To add to my comments, the lume when I went to bed last night was bright enough to read the numbers on the face and in the morning although the intensity faded the hands and the hour markers were still bright and readable, the hands in particular. By way of comparison, the lume was every bit as good as on the SEIKO divers watch beside it on the bedside table. It is early days but this watch does not me disappoint in any way. The movement does not "hack" so I can't check to time in the usual way to the second so I checked it against a Quartz stopwatch and it was +2 secs over 24 hrs. Forthe money this watch is ridiculously good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predfan2001 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 If you post pics, please post a wrist pic. I love the watch but just can't picture it (as in how big does it look). Great watch though. I personally love winders. I stared at one on my computer at work quite a long time today. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
