mezzanine Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Wondering about the new watches I saw listed in Angus' collector forum. Are these new 'super-reps' or is he able to source the same MBK's as some of the other dealers? They look nice....and I remember reading when the first of the PP Nautilus Jumbo reviews started to emerge that there were going to be more 'mainstream' versions of the watch coming through the rep channels in the not-so-distant future. He says that they're the same quality as the MBW's that are currently being offered by TTK and Paso, etc... http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry307490 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mezzanine Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 It's interesting that he's sourcing MBW's, is it not? Thought it would be hard for a china based dealer to access the taiwanese reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 He writes they are "the same quality as MBW" meaning that they are not MBW, but almost rep MBWs. I like the power reserve version. It has spunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahchard Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Angus has added quite a number of watches today... I like the 111H... pity it is not sandwich dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 TTK stated recently that the PPNautilus was not a MBW, but rather a MBK. These models are the same style as the ones that he was selling. But are they the same quality? The MBK's were retaling for 100.00USD more than PureTimes pricing. Not sure. Perhaps PureTime or TTK might let us know the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has spunk. and I think you'll find a non functioning PW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff g Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 The models illustrated on his web page do not seem to be the same that TTK and a few others are currently showing as MBK models. The difference in price at approx. 100.00 cheaper I think reflect the difference in both the eta movement, as well as the case and dial configuration. PT's models are actually a more appropriate dial to the gens with the connected lines around the outside of the face, and Roman numerals as apposed to markers. The Power reserve dial is not near the quality, IMO, as the models that TTK is offering in his Nautilus version. The crown in PT's model offer seems much larger, and the case seems to be thicker as well. It would be nice to get some clarification of the differences, real or imagined, from the dealers themselves. 100.00 cheaper for the same watch offered by TTK seems pretty absurd.

bing-o Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I am not an expert but are these 'excellent' for a rep that cost more than US$350? Which of the three on Puretime's website is the closest to the gens? Anyway, does anyone know the price of the gens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureTime Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 It's interesting that he's sourcing MBW's, is it not? Thought it would be hard for a china based dealer to access the taiwanese reps. No it is not MBW, I dont have a chance to do a comparison but it really feels very nice. When I have access to the MBW Nautilus and I will make a side by side comparison. And it was not a hard thing for me to get the Taiwanese reps, but for some watches which is dominated by MBW and I cannot get easily. I have got the TW Best Subs, TW Best SDs and also the ladies Yacht-Masters, they are pretty good ones from TW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
