kenmasters Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 The slevin aquatimer is out, and there's been some good reviews ! So, what happened to everyone else who bought one ? Are you all satisfied with it ? Some people still waiting on the fence depending on the QC or different model ?? It's an expensive rep ! I felt like spending my hard earned cash so I bought one - should have thought about it some more, but we'll see. It should arrive in a day or so. Keep on tickin' K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I'd like to read some more reviews, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I'd like to read some more reviews, too. Euno.. we read yours.. nuff said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I got mine this week and like Euno I got it from AAngus. I don't have anything to add to the review Euno did. I will prpobably have Ziggy service the movement, relume the dial and then get the crystal done in the next Chief Double AR run. I am very happy with what I got. I really like this model and am glad they did it. I am not a fan of the Cousteau series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 The watch had really bad lume application and rubish AR, among other things, it was not what people were expecting. Certainly not what I was looking forward too....... I am sure there would have been a greater amount of posts had the watch been better, but alas it was just another run-of-the-mill average rep.

Well put. Though i'm afraid i'll get one as soon as the ss bracelet will be available. But i can't conceal it's a disappointment for all the downsides you just made mention of. If i wasn't a big fan of this watch i would stay away from it, at least at the current price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenmasters Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) I'm all about hype.. and since I'm join the rep scene only 4 months ago, I've been adding whatever I can that ppl were recommending.. I'll think i'll like this watch.. not only is it a decent watch that resembles the gen really closely.. i like watches that also have some sort of story behind it. I can tell my buddies that this was one of the most anticipated watches of '07. Don't own a IWC so it'll be the first... not many ppl know about IWC so I can chat about that at least !

promotersf Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I have one and the reviews about it are accurate, not much to add. It is a good watch, maybe not the super watch we were all hoping for but solid. i may swap out the movement with a swiss 7550 with The Zigmeister in feb and have him relume it. There definitely is a double AR, but it is not even close to being a HBB AR. Nonetheless, it is a very clean, attractive and comfortable watch.

kenmasters Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 let me ask then.. what would make this a super rep then ? Better lume and AR ? Better date fonts ? Are those the key things people are looking out for ? Other than the lume and AR, is there anything else this watch could be improved on ? a nicer swiss movement.. mmmm..

cleobis Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 well I was 100% sure that I was going to buy one next week and now I just don't know...I don't see people talking about the aquatimer with enthusiasm, so I think I'll go instead for the hublot BB....but boy, I'd love to have a IWC but, cousteau is too expensive when you have the aquatimer which is very similar...the portuguese (my fav) has a crooked movement, so I'll got o Hublot for the meantime cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I'd like to read some more reviews, too. Mine will be up soon, hopefully this weekend if my watch arrives tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenmasters Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Question, does the inner bezel rotate ? Does anyone have lume shots ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenmasters Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 BTW i got my slevin today. I'm not too happy about, but I did buy it off a dropshipper.. The one i have is similiar to 'Red's mini review. The swiss made is slightly too far to the left. There is almost no lume on this guy.. just a bit on the the hands. The inner bezel doesn't rotate very smoothly on mine. It's going back. I really want a IWC, i may go for a Cousteau instead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
