hambone Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Sure you didn't had a gen in your hands, otherwise you'd have noticed the lack of strong AR on the rep and the difference in color on dial numbers and markers (gen are darkened metal, not shiny steel as in the rep). You should not be so sure luisik. The fact is I was in a Bvlgari watch and jewlery store in the Caesars Forum shops when I tried this watch on and It was most certainly the genuine article. You must be referring to Joshuas comparison photos which show the engraving to br lighter in tone then the gen. It is still a superb rep in my book and will be on my wrist very soon. I will post photos of it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

predfan2001 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 I've got 2 watches I never wear (a modern Seadweller and an Omega GMT) so as soon as I can get my VIP membership, I'm going to post them for sale along with a few this and thats. Then I'm going order the parts I need to build a Submariner 5513 replica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskent69 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Thanks for sharing Bytor... I own a lot of reps - but only those that I think are super reps - or those that could become super-reps. I am eagerly awaiting the: 1. Rolex Sea-Dweller - Super Rep (but only if it is a super rep - or can take gen parts) 2. IWC Aquatimer - also has to be a super rep. I have an ETA 7750 waiting for it - if it is worthy. 3. ANY Panerai that can actually pass as a super rep. ( I have an 063 which is nearly perfect except for those "A's") There have only been two Panerai's which even have the right "A" in the dial lettering: the 089, and new Arktos and Northpole. However, both of those have problems which can not easily be solved. So here's to hoping that one of the super rep factories actually chooses a Panerai to make. Before anyone says the typical "you are being too anal" comment --- that is the fun of this hobby for me - trying to make the watches perfect. Right now (for today at least) my fav rep is my Omega 45.5 Ultimate PO with gen dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Well, my collection right now consists of Navitimer Chrono Avenger Pam 192 Mini Fiddy Orange UPO Lite Black UPO Lite Vintage Milgaus TT DateJust. There are only a couple of watches that I'm eying right now (SFSO, EVO, Ferrari Chrono), but I am really interested in a Montblanc Timewalker Chrono.

anton Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) so far, anything in my radar has always led me to buy a gen of that brand, since to me, I see that a rep is kinda like an extended "test drive" of that one car you always had your eye on, but wanna build some emotional value to it before commiting to it full-on (sounds like spouses, too. ). Since X-mas time is coming around, bonus time will come near as well. I see myself liking the Zenith Defy eXtreme (am I the SECOND person that likes it?!?!) and possibly buying it. As far as the reps go, though, those Panerai ARKTOS models are looking mighty purdey (no pun intended!) as well.

By-Tor Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 1. Rolex Sea-Dweller - Super Rep (but only if it is a super rep - or can take gen parts) Lots of people are having big expectations about that watch. They'd better do it right this time... I think people generally are completely fed up with sub-par Rolex reps. Such simple watches to replicate... such medicore results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italiano17771 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 + 1 on the zenith defy extreme series!! these are amzing pieces...cant wait until the rep comes out. also, would not mind to see the breitling skyland on my wrist.

By-Tor Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 While I like the new Zeniths a lot... I still think the classic El Primero Flyback series is still their best (design wise). Very conservative, yes, but the "Rainbow" Flyback does it for me. Doubt we'll ever see a rep though.

Stephane Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 ... but I am really interested in a Montblanc Timewalker Chrono. Don't. It's a beauty but you will never wear it. According to your Wrist Checks, I can't see you wear it at all. I was very exited my self and the result is: it sits in it's gen box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolexsandwich Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 I ordered a DSN fiddy ! And SFSO if it ever gets delivered... And for the not too distant future I am keeping my eyes open for the seadweller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskent69 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Lots of people are having big expectations about that watch. They'd better do it right this time... I think people generally are completely fed up with sub-par Rolex reps. Such simple watches to replicate... such medicore results. Completely agree. That said - we all are way more critical of any Rolex rep because it is the number one copied watch. Since even genuine Rolexes are immediately guilty of being reps until proven innocent, a rep has to be even that much more perfect. I mean - all of our super reps have a little flaw here or there - which if found on the Rolex sport watches - would immediately put them in sub-par status (unless they could be fixed - like an insert). I have both the MBW 1665 and the MBW 1680 - so my Rolex appetite is satiated for now. However, I would jump on the Modern Sea Dweller in a heartbeat if they get it right. Those MBW are great - but boy does it take dilligence and moola to get them into acceptable shape. Here's hoping we see a 2824 or 2892 version of the Sea Dweller instead of the ole 2836.

Feta1 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Like other people have stated, I am crossing my fingers they get a great version of the GMT II.. but I am not holding my breath.
