Any thoughts or reviews of this circulating that I couldn't find? I kind of like it. I know it's not a purists watch, but it caught my eye.

I saw those. Good value, but I'm not really impressed with the watch.

I bought one a few months ago from Narikaa and I like it. Large but comfortable.

I like it. In fact, I ordered one. Haven't got it yet due to the CNY break. It's got quite a few flaws compared to the gen but only a true WIS will notice or care. This is the first rep in a long time that I've actually been really excited about getting.

[Newdoc]

Thanks for the comments. Any glaring flaws? I know with a less popular watch like this that chance of anyone on the street catching a rep is minimal unless there is some huge size or color difference between the rep and the gen. That's all Im trying to avoid....

The biggest flaw is the lack of the HE valve on the left side of the watch. It is pretty distinctive looking on the gen.

I beleive there was a dealer that had these with a gen-looking He valve. Not sure who it was right now.

Narikaa has them with the HE valve

I think you always get what you pay for with reps and by the looks of things these offer excellent value for money, but we should accept that these are the new equivalent of the 39mm B&R fantasy watches that appeared a couple of years ago just after the BR01-92 came out - these were good watches and I have one myself, but they weren't accurate.

History suggests that if these sell pretty well then very soon we'll see a BR02 for around $240 which is much nearer the gen.

And lets face it, if you like the watch you not going to need two - I'm waiting for the better rep to come out and I don't think it will be too long.

Still - can't go wrong for $100!!

Compare that Hev with this...

...and you wonder why they even bothered C'mon...

[cronsell]

The pro dial (dots instead of numbers) should have the orange seconds hand, however the numeric dial should have a white seconds hand...small difference between the two, but in my opinion, it makes the watch pop to have the seconds hand orange and the correct HE valve with the orange outside circle...I am REALLY hoping they make this watch again with fewer glaring flaws...I would have bought it already otherwise!

Actually i see Narikaa has brought back a number of very interesting B&R's from his last trip east.

I am waiting for this with pvd finish and in nice conditions (correct he valve, nice dw, all...) A nice replica aorund 250 $ with nice movement. I hope they make this soon.
