bing-o Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Was planning to get the Casino Royale from Silix when he put the SOSF on sale. The Casino Royale is at $200 and the SOSF is at $225...which is the better value or better rep? The review of the SOSF is excellent while that of the Casino Royale is good but there are issues with the Omega watch....which one should I go for? Can anyone offer any opinion, eventhough choosing watches can be a personal thing.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 SOSF, without a doubt. Perhaps the best rep ever produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyster Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I have the Asian white dial SFSO and have just ordered a black dial ETA SFSO. Fantastic reps, well worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I don't like the commemorative Omegas, so I'd go with the SOSF Planning on visiting an AD tuesday and trying one on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagfan Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 One of the dealers told me that there will be a new version of the SFSO that is going to come out in November, dial, case and crystal are the same, just the movement will be changed to ETA-2836 or CN-2836. What will be the difference from the ETA 2824 to the new ETA2836?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fivefive Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 which colour of SFSO is the best to go for ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagfan Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 ETA-2836 will be cheaper than the previous 2824? Does this mean that the 2824 is better than the new 2836? Cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyster Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 @fivefive If you are buying Eta Steelfish, go for blue or black. The AR is not as necisarry on the white version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AR is not as necisarry on the white version. man... now i dont know which colour to go for, cos people said "go for white"?? http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=43584 i am trying to decide whether i should go for white or blue... i really wanna know: - which colour is the closest to the gen? is it really not necessary to have the AR on the white version?? thanks a lot Edited October 13, 2007 by fivefive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italiano17771 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 the blue on the rep isnt a match with the blue on the gen. i would suggest the white or black...probably leaning towards the black....the white has been said to not be exact to the white of the gen either....cant really mess up black though.

Darned, I was going to go for the blue! Thought it is the best of three and the reviews on the watch is on the blue faced ones.......is the difference from the gen obvious?????

TeeJay Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Personally, I like how the white dial looks, so that'd be the one I'd buy if I was to buy one. As for what color is more accurate to the gen, and how important that is, that's up to a person to decide for themselves. Do they want to buy the color because it's more accurately executed, or because they actually prefer that color option? Buying one in black, just because it's the 'more accurate' would be pretty stupid if someone actually prefers how the white looks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be stupid of someone to buy a specific color choice solely because it was more accurate, rather than buying the color they actually liked better. Why buy a 2nd choice in terms of color just because it 'looks more accurate'? Other than stupidity, there is only one other reason someone would want to do that. They want to pass if off as genuine. The cost does not even come into the equasion. If someone's spending that price, it makes sense to buy the one they actually like the look of most, rather than 'settling' for something else, because it will be easier to pass of as genuine.

frankpower88 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 i agre with fivefive. the reason why the steelfish is so popular is because its one of the most accurate reps now. in my opinion its not one of the best looking breitlings, most people want a watch that looks like the gen. just look at the mods they do on their watches for it to look more genuine. so if a dial color is way off, even if the rest of the watch is spot on, maybe its better to go with an other color. but if you really like the look of the steelfish and you prefer it in blue, go ahead. if you just want a perfect rep go white or black.
