dadog13 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 again Ms. King...she is the fastest in this wild wild rep world... first pics og the new graham...double AR, sapphire crystal,.... This is gonna be an expensive year if they continue like this... probably there are some experts that will immediatley see the biggest flaws...but since advertised as 1:1 copy...it should have only acceptable flaws...I am not to picky...

takashi Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Looks good to me... They made that caseback construction very similar to Corum Admiral's Cup 48. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 WOW!!! Here are photos of a gen for reference: Looks like I'm adding another to my '08 list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Looks like I'm adding another to my '08 list... Well, at least I'll say this about that abortion of a watch...it looks phenomenal as to quality. I can't tell the gen from the rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 The rep's CG lever is all black. Only the pivot point should be black...the lever should be brushed SS...Could be an easy fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzanine Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Well, at least I'll say this about that abortion of a watch...it looks phenomenal as to quality. I can't tell the gen from the rep. That sums up my opinion well. I might be tempted by the Swordfish, but probably not this one.... Does look very impressive- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I think its just the lighting, look at the lever in the first pic closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Just had a look at Josh's pics and the lever is indeed black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 ..... why they rep watches that I dont like ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 These watches are surprisingly comfortable on the wrist! I visited the AD in KL and had a great time trying on the various models...If there is a dealer near you, go and check them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I have seen all black crown guards at a dealer in Paris. Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I think it's a small discrepancy considering how rare it is to see one of these around town...I still like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Cool, a watch and a lighter all in one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_bran Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 It's a real love or hate piece. In my opinion it's like an Audi Q7 - it looks like they forgot to stop adding bits to it. Awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazonkers Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 How wide is that watch with CG? That watch looks too crazy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Interesting watch. How do you operate the chronograph? Is it one chrono button inside the crown?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 That ginormous trigger is the stop-start button. It's made so that a bombardier can operate it even while wearing heavy cold-weather gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 For some reason I have always liked these big fugly buggers, however cost may be the deciding factor for me. One thing though I was struck by dadogs comment here.... but since advertised as 1:1 copy...it should have only acceptable flaws.. Have we really been brainwashed enough to see it like this? I mean this watch may indeed be 1:1 (that waits to be seen) but to me that term will always mean that without opening the watch you will not be able to find any fault.

Ken as 1:1 copy i understand that they had the gen in their hands while making the rep...that's all...I can only imagine how many reps have been done just by looking at various pics on the net/catalogues and they came out just good as this... we all know that even in this case (while having the gen in their hands) there are still flaws - we saw it in other releases...but the reps usally done like this have for me (as I take his whole hobby) acceptable/minor flaws...see for example the sec at 6 porsche...or the CACC...or others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Running second at 3. Is it reliable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Running second at 3. Is it reliable? Actually it is running seconds at "9" since it is reversed So, this should be as dependable as any other standard layout 7750 clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Not taking a shot at you dadog, I know there are many who see it the same way, but to me what you describe is a 'Copied from original' watch but a 1:1 should be flawless.

dadog13 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Not taking a shot at you dadog, I know there are many who see it the same way, but to me what you describe is a 'Copied from original' watch but a 1:1 should be flawless. Ken I know ken that you are not taking a shot at me... ...but you are so loooong in this rep world that you should know, no matter what they do there will never be a flawless rep... when you said this about the 1:1 thing, were you refering this that you are bothered from them advertising the reps like that? that the make you (or somebody else) think it is really a 1:1 copy?

HauteHippie Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 It's a strangely cool looking timepiece with which I doubt I could walk around in public and feel good about myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
