Khurram Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Just arrived yesterday and I couldn't be happier! This is a real stunner which has to be seen in person to be appreciated. The SS band on this is the absolute best i've ever seen on a rep and overall the watch build and quality is top notch. The double AR is also amazing and as you can see in the pics the crystal literally disappears. If anyone was thinking about getting this one I would highly recommend it! Now, on to the pics- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 DAMN!!! That's sooooooooooooo nice. Wish I didn't sell mine. Especially since I got a gen dial for 1 now. Actually that would finish this one off nicely.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khurram Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 What differences can you see in the gen dial and rep dial on mine spike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Crap... did you really have to do that? Now i'm gonna lay awake all night wondering how i can come up with the money to buy me such a beauty myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Crap... did you really have to do that? Now i'm gonna lay awake all night wondering how i can come up with the money to buy me such a beauty myself... I highly recommend getting one, you won't be diappointed. As for difference with dials, the main difference is the placement of 'schaffhausen'. On the rep is is further left than on the gen. See....

chrgod Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Great pictures! It looks like they have improved the lume markers on the hour markers! That is the main thing which have stopped me from buying this. A gen dial just sold for 123 USD on eBay.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Khurram, May I ask who you purchased from? Beautiful pictures. This watch is at or near the top of my list... I am debating my next purchase right now... Totally unrelated, I gotta say, Chrgod, your banner has been fascinating me for a long time. I usually don't like blondes but...

FasTTaP Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 beautifull watch... tell us more, how's the inner bezel? smooth ? QC looks pretty good, where does it comes from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khurram Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I purchased it from a fellow memeber here on RWG. I'm assuming her got it from one of our main dealers. The inner bezel is perfect and build quality is top notch. Angus has them in stock and he's always been good to me so I would recommend him.

mikerblade Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Not picking faults ( 1st rep I bought was a Slevin) but do try to get a photo of your watch if you can, the biggest issue with them is the "swiss made" at the bottom being offset. Mines is slightly offset like Khurram's but after speaking to my collector he told me that some can be really bad & thats pretty much its main QC issue, other than that a nice IWC that I've no issues in recommending to buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I purchased it from a fellow memeber here on RWG. I'm assuming her got it from one of our main dealers. The inner bezel is perfect and build quality is top notch. Angus has them in stock and he's always been good to me so I would recommend him. Angus was a very reliable dealer, unfortunately his customer service is getting worse and worse. I bought from him the same watch asking to check carefully the bezel alignment and the swiss made position. I asked several times and despite this i got a watch with a poor alignment. Obviously he dropshipped. Worst part of the story, after weeks, i'm still waiting a mail from him for the replacement. He want me to ship it back at my expenses and in advance. This is not the first disappointment with Pure Time for me and you can read many horror stories around about him. If you really want to be sure go with Precious time or Ruby. Forget Angus, he's not a good bet anymore,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgchrono2 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 good morning, how does this Aquatimer compares to the Cousteau Divers model ? Which differences they have in AR, Size, overal quality???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I understand what is meant by the "Swiss Made" alignment and I can see that while close, it is not perfect. I am curious when you are speaking of bezel alignment - are you speaking of whether or not the white triangle on the bezel aligns well/perfectly with the chrono hand/12 o'clock position? (or perhaps I should ask, is that what you look at to determine the bezel alignment?) I am asking because I will probably order this watch from Ruby at some point (I have used her for my first rep and was very happy) and I want to stress what things I want her to look for). Appreciate the clarification! Again, beautiful watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyaudi42 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Has this piece been modded in any way? I would like to know if it came like this from a dealer. Anyone know of its origin (orig. seller)? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerblade Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Has this piece been modded in any way? I can't answer for Khurram but that's exactly the way mine came from the dealer, mines came with the rubber strap & I got the metal band so I could switch. There's a few have posted Pic's of there's on here (me included) & you'll find them pretty much identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
