chrgod Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Remember this watch was posted as "soon coming models" some months ago. It has finally hit the market. Seems like a decent replica, they have even made special day and date wheels! Specially made rotor also! :smile: The speck on the rotor and two crappy screw heads on the movement (!) does not look good though! Cool watch, I like the "Technical design". However, personally I feel a bit overwhelmed about the number of great 7750 replicas these days, and find it hard to be excited... At the end of the day, they are all the same... I will pass this one, but maybe recommend it for a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadog13 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I personally like this one...dunno if I'll buy it, but the design is quiet nice...love the look of the chrono pushers that are integrated with the case...this is a 1:1 copy (If I remember correctly it was Josh who gave his personal watch to replicate it)...lately I've been out of chronos...but this one will be the 1st in line if I decide for a chrono purchase...

KB Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Any comments? You mean like the fact that Josh and Andrew say they will supply them exclusively to RepGeeks at least until the new year? :mad: Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 This looks great, would be a nice replacement for my "slightly off" P'6910. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I can't see how they are gonna supply only to repgeek, anyone still can use their websites to purchase this item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takashi Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yes, gotta agree. Look very close. Anyhow, datewheel is a bit sloppy on the rep (as usual). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I think it would look good on the wrist of say... a 15 years old boy, but come on, "porsche design" - that's up there with the ferrari hat and lamborghini t-shirt. Unless you actually own a porsche car, you're just going to look pretty stupid in my opinion! Big aspiration! Little wallet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Gen is using 7750. Specs of the genuine: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=64692 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoesmith Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I personally think the design is so so, i do like the chrono pushers though, being part of the case, nice And i do like the price, $328 from the cartel, maybe cheaper from other sources?? Usually these days a so called "1:1" rep is more expensive. Not bad, but not my style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 big compliment to the porsche designer. it's great looking watch. maybe one for me. rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzanine Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 It's a nice design. I'm not going to be buying one...I don't see Porsche as an horological company. I know that there's a case to be made that Ferrari and other car companies have already established this market- but for me, why would I rather have this watch than a HBB? I don't know. I think that the rep makers have done poorly over the last six months. There haven't been many models that have been released that I find compelling..

Pugwash Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I don't see Porsche as an horological company. ... apart from they made the first Titanium watch with IWC. They've been doing innovative (if not brilliant) stuff with watches for decades. Porsche Design is a design house that makes a lot of non-car stuff aimed at people who would never dream of buying a Porsche car. However, seeing as people here don't recognise them apart from as a car-maker, the you'd be better off getting this rep if you have a Porsche or if you move in designer circles.

keith_bran Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Looks like a nice watch. In my opinion any "car" watch is incredibly lame unless you own the car too. Even if you DO own the car as well, that's only slightly less lame. Do you remember the episode of Friends with Joey and the Porsche?

chrgod Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Just received a mail from Trusty, telling that the black and grey dial only is available from the cartel dealers, while the red dial is available for all dealers... I find the Porsche Design line watches way more attractive than the Ferrari watches from Panerai. The Porsche name is very discret compared to the glearing logo on the Panerais. According to Wikipedia the Porsche design watches started in 1973 in cooperation with Orfina, in 1978 they moved on to IWC and in 1996 Eterna. The Lemania 5100 moveement was also used. The old 7750 Orfina based PD watches from the 1970ties have a classic design. With the black case, they are the kind of "tool watch" that looks good even banged up.. They were popular with pilots and are actually quite attractively priced on eBay. Guess you could buy a vintage gen for about twice the price of the replica.. The quartz Porsche-IWC watches are also affordable... I suppose the very 80ties design doesn't appel to most collectors! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam_tgg Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 The watch is for my increible beautifull. I can not understand, why replica watch buyers, most of who, do not care a sh*t about movements, even have no idea about reall horology, care about a "non seen horological watch". Like Pugwash said, Porsche Design is a very well design group at least in Germany. "Pretty Stupit" is for me, talking without thinking, and thinking about what the others think (too many thinks, sorry). If an stupit guy, laughts beacuse you have a "porsche watch, but not a Porsche car", you can laught about an stupit guy, that talks like it has a brain, but not.

italiano17771 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 i like the watch. very disappointed that it only has single sided ar!!! the gen has double ar. what does 1:1 mean?? if they use the gen to make the rep why would they do just about everything right....including the datewheels, which i think look pretty damn good, but forget one of the most important details (imo). heres the specs for the gen. http://www.gemnation.com/base?processor=vi...p;watch_id=3582 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porsche have come up with external hard drive designs sold at Best Buy and cooking knives sold at Lee Valley Tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweattdogg Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I think it looks great! As many others have said Porsche Design designs many things. I have a vintage pair of Porsche Design Aviators from 1987 and I drive a Jeep. I don't feel like I'm a poser when I wear them. People in the know, know about this brand from high end magazines and the net. That being said, I wouldn't mind a 993TT to go with my aviators.
