Watchmeister Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Wrong date font. What if you're initials aren't GPW? Actually, it is a nice watch but this has always been the case. You can buy any number of gens for the price of a number of the better reps. It is pretty tough to argue against an Orange Monster for $200.

kye_lin Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 NICE!! How do you get hold of one?? Kai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solicitor Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Re: AR: This is a new watch, so there's not a lot of info. available yet. However, all of Arctos' other watch crystals have anti-reflective coating. GENS vs. REPS: I'm not familiar with other GENS with a SOLID ceramic CASE. If there are others, I'd doubt they're at this price point. Anyway, the point I was making is that the stated reason for the high price of the new Hublot Ceramic REP was the cost of the ceramic bezel, which is hard to understand considering the price of this watch (with a swiss movement)... AVAILABILITY: I'd check their WEBSITE for availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris5264 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Interesting,,,this is a really good example of something I was a bit slow to catch onto. The last 7 watches I picked up were all gens,,,,and guess what? Not a single one ended up on my watch table. All had great lum,,WR to at least 150, keeping great time and each was between 100-400 (usd). Your example is a bit more, but certainly worth the money considering what you are getting.

loman88 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I'm interested in this watch too. Where did you order it from? I went on their website and didn't see any info on it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usil Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Maybe it is just me but I like Stainless Steel a lot better. I just have a problem of buying a watch for that price that is made out of the same material as a crock pot. Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solicitor Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Update: Special U.S. promotion pricing ends June 9th! Regular price will be about $1,700USD afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 You were smart to buy when you did. At $1,700 there are other gens I would rather buy - or better yet - reps of Aquatimer, 7753 196, Swiss 2893 GMT and a Pilot 3717 to boot. Don't give up on reps. You may not like the prices but they are getting better and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo_till Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I would still rather spend 700$ on a HBB Ceramic with an Asian 7750 than on this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solicitor Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Has it arrived yet? I'm told it will be sent the week of June 7th... BTW, my credit card won't be charged until it is shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'm told it will be sent the week of June 7th... BTW, my credit card won't be charged until it is shipped. I think you can buy a Aninomo, which these seem to pay homage to, for not much more than $1700 but at that promotional price you got a nice deal on a nice watch. Wear it well!

eunomians Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Nice watch. Sober & refreshing price at this point (before it goes up to full retail price). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
