cleobis Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Hi, I've bought this rep at Hotreplica 2 weeks ago. It should be here next week, can any one tell me how it faires against the gen? I've never seen the gen, nor can I find any pics...maybe some of you have seen it or know the model.... Many thks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 It looks like a fairly decent dial. Alain silberstein runs very limited editions so it is hard to find this exact model in genuine. There are definatley flaws. Which I cannot say, but how many people have ever heard of this band anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleobis Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thks for the imput Actually I must confess that I didn't know alain silberstein work until recently, and I must say that I fell in love. If not to wear all the models, I do think they are great collection pieces....If you have the money In any case, I do love this model, and I decided to get it even though I never saw the original, I'll post a review of how it goes when I get it Cheers, and again, thks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 What made you buy from them? http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...p;hl=hotreplica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Interesting watch! Paying a wee bit over the odds is all part of the learning curve (some of the other watches on that site are way, way over the odds). The main thing is you're here now You might like to check out some of the Silberstein offerings from some of the collectors here. Meanwhile, on the subject of the hotreplica's site, which eagle-eyed watch expert can spot the slight flaw in their Planet Ocean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleobis Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Well, I just got here, and I bought it before knowing anything about this site in any case it wasn't too expensive 118eur, though I do think I could get it cheaper around here, but hey...live and learn right? Anyways, thks all for the help and I will tell you how it goes, if I get it or not if I do get it, I'll post pics for you to see ... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Alain Silberstein is quite an interesting brand; maybe not to everyone's taste, but I do appreciate their funky-ness. Only complaint that I have- I have a difficult time trying to read the time with those hands... But as an art deco kind of piece, it's an interesting design.

jfreeman420 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yes they are quite funky watches and I came close to buying one several years ago, but it is that love it or hate it styling. None of them ever jumped out and me enough that i had to have it. Only complaint that I have- I have a difficult time trying to read the time with those hands... that's why cell phones have the time on them.

mumum Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I have interest in these watches again. It seems that there are more reps of these coming out that are a much better quality (seems to be built like the super reps). I know that TWP over at the DS has some now. Not sure how accurate, but based on some online clips they look real nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TTK Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) AHEM....I think you'll find that THIS particular RWG dealer had these 4 months before anyone else........A7750 movement......and very high quality....!

Highflyingclive Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I could forgive so many other faults if the manufacturer could get the "hometime" hand right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
