red Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I saw this at the AD it's a very imposing piece. The special edition looked much better then the regular black dial. The etching of the "12" and "6" really set the watch apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Really is a looker. I wonder if the changes to the movement are going to be problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rats Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have just ordered the black face from Josh. I had to go back to look at the pictures after seeing a post where the MIGLIA was printed backwards on the crown. Guess what, the picture of the crown for the black face is not available! Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Just in case any of you missed my previous post. King has photos of the latest version for sale over here: http://www.kingshowbox.com/gallery.php?id=800 http://www.kingshowbox.com/gallery.php?id=801 Crown picture: Josh and Andrew do not have pictures of the latest watch, just a photo edited version of the older prototype.... Has anybody been able to find some high resolution pictures of the genuine black and silver dial watches? I have looked, but not found anything yet... Please upload some! Cheers!

verbal Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Or check out this link, doesn't open the hi-res images for me but it sure is helpfull.. http://mob.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost.../ti-407661/s-0/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thank you verbal! I would love to see some pictures of the display back version, I wonder how accurate the engraving is? Kings picture: Looks like the gen watch has the same circular grain effect on the subdials.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 And yes $450 appears to be the new basic price for upper end reps. Then again $450 was $350 a year ago (from a currency perspective). WOW... this is not the kind of inflation i can see on my pay-check I tried on this Chopard a while ago, but it didn't convince me. I will be looking forward to your reviews guys!

Black dial version for me then I think, looks to me like they really nailed this rep. I just prefer the display back, plus it is cheaper! Kings black dial pic: Gen from verbal's link: The only thing is that the numeric font at the very edge of the dial does not reach all the way to the crystal, like the gen version does...

Mickey Padge Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Seems there are two black dial versions on Kings site. With different display backs... One seems accurate, but with no regulator: The other has many flaws, but includes the regulator: Gen: I am going to sit on the fence for a while with this watch, and purchase when I am 100% sure I get the best version...

Dario33 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Love the gray dial version...would especially love to see the rose gold version rep'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruva Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Does anyone know where one can get hold of that brown leather band? It really lifts the watch to whole other level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Wow, it sounds like there are so many versions that now I am scared to buy it. If I remember correctly on the last grey dial version they screwed up the color on either the sub-dial rings or the larger inner bezel. That particular piece in the flesh is stunning. I hope they get it right. That would be my first choice irrespective of price. I have long since concluded that I will have to approach buying reps very differently given the price increases.

dvn Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 order the black dial version yesterday. I'll post pictures when i get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzanooo Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I`m assuming the higher price for the grey dial is because it`s an engraved caseback vs a exhibition one like the black face. And some stickers on the crystal. Kings photo of it. Does have different serial # on it than Joshs photo, lends confirmation that he is still showing pics of first prototype model. This is a nice looking piece, waiting for those wrist shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 WOW... this is not the kind of inflation i can see on my pay-check I tried on this Chopard a while ago, but it didn't convince me. I will be looking forward to your reviews guys! Pretty much exactly what I was going to say. I'm not going to drop down $400 hard-earned cash for a watch just because it looks really close to the gen. I would rather spend half of that and get something unique. It's not really an ugly watch, but come on, an asian movement.... no thanks.. not for this price gentlemen. And on top of that it has a rubber strap, meaning it will never in a million years sit right on my oddly configured wrist. Unless a leather strap version comes out and somebody fishes up some really positive arguments about this watch it looks like this latest super rep will be another disappointing pass for me. Now, if they decided to update the Daytona with a reliable movement that is readily available, then maybe we're talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAS Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 DONE !! I put my order yesterday on the grey dial one. Ok, i's more expensive, but it looks so different from the others in my collection. I've been waiting for this one since last Christmas... couldn't wait any longer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 order the black dial version yesterday. I'll post pictures when i get it. I look forward to seeing some pictures and if it comes with the correct case back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THANOS Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 any news? did anybody received it to post some pictures and tell his comments overall the watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTimez Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 How about this one ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 That's the old version, font is all wrong on the dial and too small round the outer edge. Plus the subdials are black, when they should be a silver colour, getting darker at different angles... Not bad though, as it is half the cost of the latest version.....

tazzman Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 As the watch is already reviewed by lanikai -> http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry427870 I will just publish some nice pictures. IMHO this is one of the best looking reps I have seen (except the HBB),. eventhough it might not be 100% accurate. - tazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboGUATE Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Excellent pictures and watch Tazz. If I were you I would invest a bit more in a custom AR job. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
