bosk Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 The case is decent but the dial has glaring errors.....little texture on the dial, tiny date/countdown window, wrong color count down #'s, and its quartz. Also those #'s are date wheel actually count down like a chrono function. I don't know how the replica is going to deal with that feature. Spending a bit more time to get a textured dial and I might have bot this rep. oh well...perhaps a decent toy for less than 130 bucks.

italiano17771 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 yes at a second glance there are many flaws with this. one big one i overlooked was the screws....they are suppose to be black not ss. why the hell couldnt they pvd the screws too. would have been a huge difference.

bosk Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 quartz??? oh thats not good. how do you know its quatz? damn i was excited for a second too. subdial config suggests quartz and the other two sold by josh are quartz too. I was really excited about this too but I guess the rep factories decided not to go the extra mile for this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 isnt this a 60k+ watch?? what's the gen retail on this baby? a paneristi posted his gen not long ago.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchpot Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 The gens retail for US $35k (all carbon), $70k (rose gold/carbon) and $130k (platinum/carbon). However they're all sold out, and currently go for a healthy premium on the secondary market. I wouldn't take this rep even if it was free. However, the one thing that the rep has going for it, somewhat amusingly, is that is appears that it's easier to read the time on the rep compared to the gen.

yellomen Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 From the pixx of the rep i'd assume it'll be a cheap replica... quartz movement, different material... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegrasser Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 The rep case does not appear scuffed up enough. I don't understand that look though. Why would one want a 50K watch that looks like it was accidentally ran through with the laundry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkdk Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 why dont they just make it in plastic. Shouldnt be a problem to mimic the carbon look in plastic. Also carbon is super lightweight anway, so the gen wont weigh more than a plastic version would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
