yellomen Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I forgot to add the IWC Big Pilot with real 8 days movement... they are working on such a movement! There is also word about a copy of the Panerai P2002 caliber based on the A7750... should also get a double barrel and serious 8 days power reserve! Please do add your information... let's gather every possible new info on our X-mass 2007 present list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hmmm..... I can't wait to see how much some of this stuff will cost... I predict $500 entry-level prices for some of these watches with some climbing even higher... yeppers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what I would rather have, there will come a point where the sales slow enough to rein in the prices, if not it will be over for me.

yellomen Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I used to keep the golden rule that a rep shouldn't be more expensive than 10% of the gen value... well, as prices of the watches being repped go up, the complexity of those watches goes up as well... and the rep price as well. Years ago i could imagine a watch like the IWC cousteau divers being repped... and absolutely not in this quality! Personally i think they have come such along way that it has to show in the price... but when it comes to some of the cheaper reps like the asian steelfish i don't think a price of around $200,- is justified. But in fact you are right about being able to buy a gen for the price of several reps... there are quite some genuine watches that are a lot cheaper than some reps! A Steinhart diver or big pilot look-a-like are for the same price as a decent rep with a swiss movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docblackrock Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Skyland - no info??? Not what Angus told me a few weeks back Wheels in motion, it's now in pre-production, on the factory's 'to do' list - both the standard and the PVD 'black steel' version.

Pugwash Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 i just updated the list on the first page with new information from Angus! Can you change the "Next Month" to the name of the month? It looks silly seeing the August post date and no watches by the end of the month after you made that post.

arminvanbuuren Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 man i just hope they could make the gmt II ceramic bezel sooner.. i would love that watch.. and maybe a reliable daytona 116509 (white gold plated preferrable to make it as heavy as the real thing).. or anything that is made from a $7000+ gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 a reliable daytona...white gold plated preferrable..... Someone's expectations seriously need managing...

"two weeks before it comes out...", but those two weeks have past on my calender and i suspect an asian calender-complot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellomen Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Updated the Slevin and so called super Sea-Dweller... if someone has extra info on the other models please post it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Well... let me put it this way: After the Dweller I consider it finished... UNTIL something really irresistable comes out. LOL! An expensive rep of a $3500 Rolex may be your ultimate, BT, but lot's of us are going to skip right over that one, and get the others!! Boy, if all they do in 2008 is rep the reverso well and actually get the Big Pilot out 2008 will be a good year, but an auto black seal, P2002 powered anything, and maybe the new fifty fathoms (word I hear is that it's on some kind of "list" whatever that means) it will be the best era for reps since the golden three months of 2005 when the 27,28, 63, 29, 50, 51, 186, 188, etc came out.

mezzanine Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I'm not too psyched about much that's slated to be released, with the exception of the Zenith Defy Extreme and the Breitling Skyland. I don't know if this list encompasses the potential releases from MBK, does it? Because I think there might be some cool watches coming from Thailand. Maybe some cool new AP's, who knows....

An expensive rep of a $3500 Rolex may be your ultimate, BT, but lot's of us are going to skip right over that one, and get the others!! Never said it was my "Ultimate", and I never even bought it. I wrote the text you quoted back in September. SSD was a huge disappointment for me. PS: I tend to buy reps that are somewhat believeable (in 1K - 5K range). I'm just an average guy, not a Sultan of Brunei. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I wrote the text you quoted back in September. My bad...I thought you were gunning for a Ultimate Ultimate version. I was just poking fun anyway. I hear you on only wearing watches you can afford gens of. I try to do the same thing, more or less. I just don't see the point buying reps that cost 30-40% of used gens by the time you mod them close to 1:1 (breits, lower-end Rolexes, etc) when there are just-as-easily reppable watches that can be bought and modded for 15%-20% the cost of a gen.

So you heard the Zenith Defy Extreme is being repped? That's good news! Hope they will also make it from aluminium like the real one as it doens't weight that much... probably the lightest watch i had ever on my wrist. @Archibald... was the Fifty Fathoms verified? My personal wish for 2008 is to get a good copy of that watch as i think it is sooooo much cooler than a Sea-Dweller @All... is someone has timetable or expected release dates or maybe new watches to be released, please let us know. I was amazed by the number of watches that came out without any notice before... like the B&M Riviera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal wish for 2008 is to get a good copy of that watch as i think it is sooooo much cooler than a Sea-Dweller Sadly, not verified. My impression (I think we all have the same source for the new models info, BTW...LOL!!) is that they would like to do it but don't really feel like paying 10k for a gen. It's my dream watch as well, so lets send some prayers, positive vibes, luckenergy or whatever we personally send for in these situations over to China.

yellomen Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 How good is the new breguet typeXX? Nobody seemed to put much attention to this watch. It sucks. That's the short answer... longer answer is that they mixed up the dial layout and functions of the smaller 39mm version and put it in this larger case... and the larger version dial & functions where not used... so a complete mix-up... drama, money thrown away IMHO... what a shame. @Archibald... yep.. i'm gonna sent some wishes in that direction tonight at midnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal wish for 2008 is to get a good copy of that watch as i think it is sooooo much cooler than a Sea-Dweller Hi Guys, While not the real thing or a replica, a couple of people have made hommages to the Fifty Fathoms recently.
