giorgio Posted September 5, 2007 Report Posted September 5, 2007 Where'd you get that pic? I couldn't find it on their site. Is it an older model/different version?
italiano17771 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Posted September 5, 2007 Where'd you get that pic? I couldn't find it on their site. Is it an older model/different version? you might have the pic from the 2007 version...maybe?? i just gooled "corum admirals cup" and found a bunch of pics. maybe the rep is from the 2006 version or vice versa. the rep is almost perfect from everything ive seen. still trying to find a better price before i take the plunge.
giorgio Posted September 5, 2007 Report Posted September 5, 2007 Yeah, looks like you might be right. Google is filled with the version with the script font. Still, I'd like to see it under $300 shipped.
geo1nah2a Posted September 5, 2007 Report Posted September 5, 2007 Not quite. That font will give the watch away at 30 feet. It seems there are more than one versions out there. hxxp://www.thetimezone.com/Corum/60617.011101.html# hxxp://www.lussori.com/corum-admirals-cup-48-watch-5851.html

Still, I'd like to see it under $300 shipped. cant agree with ya more!! if it was $300 shippied i would have already ordered it, but $358 shipped is just too much. wonder why this one is $40-$50 more than the new tag aquaracer?? gotta wait to find a better price before i pull the trigger.

It is bugging me that we're starting to see non-chrono reps at $350+ (even if this one does have a 7750). I think at these prices I might just say to myself 19 watches is enough (I have one empty slot in my winder) and become *extremely* selective about future purchases. I would love to see them rep the new Breitling Blackbird Big Date, but not at $400-500 + shipping.
Dario33 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Posted September 5, 2007 I too will take the plunge if the price were just a bit lower. Perhaps a group buy is in order?
rkdk Posted September 5, 2007 Report Posted September 5, 2007 maybe the price will drop after the cartel milk it a bit?
luisik Posted September 5, 2007 Report Posted September 5, 2007 maybe the price will drop after the cartel milk it a bit? Absolutely. This is just another example of cartel's pressure... I compare it with a UPO, GTXL, or a CARRERA and can't see anything in this watch that makes it be worth more than $200...
geo1nah2a Posted September 5, 2007 Report Posted September 5, 2007 Absolutely. This is just another example of cartel's pressure... I compare it with a UPO, GTXL, or a CARRERA and can't see anything in this watch that makes it be worth more than $200... Not defending the price here, but there are differences. Namely the case is made of 48mm titanium. Then the sapphire is oddly shaped. If they had done a proper double AR, I would be all over this. Having seen the gen, I have to tell you it is an attention grabber, in a sporty way. And the sapphire is so dominant in its presence. It Needs a double AR. Additionally I would love to see the gold bezel / crown versions too.
italiano17771 Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Posted September 9, 2007 well i broke down and pulled the trigger on the black version. hopefully it will be here by thursday or friday. i will take a bunch of pics when i get it. and by the way, i found out the AR is on the inner part of the crystal, which i think is good news.
