watchgrl Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Yes, I know...the photos stink for a few reasons. 1) The photography is sub-par and 2) No T&A. I will work on both... Received my PP 24 from River today. Shipping and customer service is top notch. I think the watch arrived within 3 days of my order. It has a very solid feel and is comfortable on the wrist. If the "diamonds" on the dial were better aligned (they are a bit crooked), I would rate this watch as "as good as it gets". Other than the misaligned stones on the dial, it is a dead ringer for my neighbor's gen PP24. Thanks River! I am happy with the transaction!!! Now, I want a Yachtmaster. I sold my gen about 6 months ago and have been regretting it ever since.... Edited June 9, 2006 by watchgrl
Guest Sql_pl Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 I always said this is the best ladies rep. Period! Congrats! Wear it well watchgrl!
maxmsu Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 Good to see a girl here on board who loves watches!
8o8 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 just got me missus a gucci ... but this is also a very nice watch. will have to put it on the list to get her next time thanks for the pix
jonthebhoy Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 Very nice watchgrl. JTB PS - I'd say the freckle was fake though!
Linder Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 Nice watch! I've been hoping to get one for my wife. Good luck finding some one locally to reset the stone.
thedoctor Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 I got one for my wife. It's spectacular. The diamonds aren't missaligned. I would send it back for a new one if they were missaligned.
cornerstone Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 I got one for my wife. It's spectacular. The diamonds aren't missaligned. I would send it back for a new one if they were missaligned. Any photos of your watch (even if they're not the world's best photos)? I'd be interested to see them. The 'diamonds' being a bit off is one of the things that makes me pause about buying my wife this watch, so it would be great to see yours.
Quarks Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 I bought one a while ago, the diamonds were misaligned and was replaced. But my replacement has been lost in the mail for over 2 months!!!! ARGHHH. Trying to resolve this at this moment and it IS frustrating.

The 'diamonds' being a bit off is one of the things that makes me pause about buying my wife this watch, so it would be great to see yours. You can see the "drunk" stones if you enlarge my first picture. I mailed it back yesterday and I sincerely hope the replacement will have straight stones! I asked River to pick the best watch that he has in stock...I don't care which color dial because I like all three. It wouldn't have bothered me so much if just one stone was slightly crooked, but most of the stones were crooked on this watch. On another note, I ordered a Pearlmaster Masterpiece from Josh a couple of days ago. From the pictures, I can't see a difference between the gen and the rep other than the stones on the gen look larger..of course, the gen is 18K and the rep is SS. Can't wait! I have a couple of gen Rolex watches and a gen Omega Constellation Quadra, but these are really fun to throw into the mix.

I wasn't sure if the stones being a bit off was supposed to be part of the accepted 'rep' factor on this watch - so pleased that isn't. Hopefully you'll get your new one soon. I'm more and more inclined to think that this will be the gift watch!

Hope everything will be fine with the last one. but all of those 24 I have seen have misaligned stone. Some are worst (like yours) than other.
dluddy Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 Great watch (with straight stones). GOt one from River and it has been my wife's daily beater for a year now.
watchgrl Posted June 17, 2006 Author Report Posted June 17, 2006 I'm happy for you. Hope everything will be fine with the last one. but all of those 24 I have seen have misaligned stone. Some are worst (like yours) than other. I make jewelry, so it wouldn't be impossible for me to reset one stone if necessary. The stones are placed with glue...not difficult because I can use the others as a guide. However, lining them all up would have been an awful project and just not something I would be willing to do for a new watch. Maybe I am too picky, but I don’t care if I make a 200 dollar purchase or a 2000 purchase, I do expect good service and a great product. I am sure the next one will be very nice and the stones properly set.... although I am a little sad because I am going to Mexico on Friday and was planning to wear the PP. Hopefully, Joshua’s Rolex will arrive on time. I don’t like to take my gens while on vacation. I had a Rolex Pres and a costly diamond ring stolen from a hotel safe once.
mossanti Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 Where reps everywhere you go...even if you are going to Mexco city..but save the PP..I like the PP ....should buy to someone special ..
watchgrl Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Posted July 2, 2006 Here is the replacement! Stones are good, service and shipping is top notch! River is excellent and I am a happy customer! ...and with the rest of the collection: gen DJ, gen Omega, rep PP and rep Masterpiece
Linder Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 Wow you have a really small wrist! The replacement looks nice. Wear it well.
cornerstone Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 Wow - astounding watch! That small improvement makes the world of difference.
fkhill33 Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 @watchgrl - you have a nice collection there! That diamond rolex must have costed you a pretty penny. Can you comment on how the fake diamonds compare to the real thing? Can you tell? Thanks
vric Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 There is still 1 or 2 stone misaligned, but it's MUCH better.

Can you comment on how the fake diamonds compare to the real thing? Can you tell? Thanks In general I don't think you can tell the difference between the gen diamond dial and this "diamond" dial.
