Newdoc Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=2590 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I saw those. Good value, but I'm not really impressed with the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I bought one a few months ago from Narikaa and I like it. Large but comfortable. Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowlearner Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 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 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskent69 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxus Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I beleive there was a dealer that had these with a gen-looking He valve. Not sure who it was right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 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!!

Guest avitt Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Compare that Hev with this... ...and you wonder why they even bothered C'mon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cronsell Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 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!

KB Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Actually i see Narikaa has brought back a number of very interesting B&R's from his last trip east. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
