lanikai Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Hehe, I know you were joking, I just googled "Q-tip" You have the watch already? I thought we were still waiting for peeps to receive the first batch? *Waits patiently for an update/review* It's been sitting at my business center.. due to the Holiday the post was really backed up ... floor to ceiling boxes of parcels.. so I let them be.. pics then.... the review will be a day or so... ok.. I may train tomorrow then.. but it will be about noon Hawaii time befor Im back home... you all may be sleeping by then..

I may train tomorrow then.. but it will be about noon Hawaii time befor Im back home... you all may be sleeping by then.. It seems you have a lot of peeps waiting on your every key press, so to speak I look forward to seeing some decent, non dealer pictures of this watch (and to finding out if the bezel is Q-tip proof )
lanikai Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 AAHHHHH... anticipation is part of the joy of this hobby.. the genuine didn't really impress me like I thought it would... i didn't know what to expect but it really is IMO a larger version of the 16710 with more weight, like the Seadweller.. at least the trplock crown looks good on it .. unlike the pea size twinlock on the older model .. I am really curious to see if the oring is showing when the crown is unscrewed.. triplock for a 100m watch .. must be for the size of the crown ... case back shape will be another interesting item .. it should be flat.. unlike the bubbled backs of other models. i don't like the bubble bcks.. too top heavy .. it's 8:11 am here (-10gmt).. hope you guy's can stay up..
Chronus Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 This is not a complaint just an observation. And it also seems that even non rollies fans are considering this new GMT ceramic watch. Not with that movement no, I'll stick to my Omegas I have a vintage MBW SD (never worn), Two Tone MBW Serti Dial Sub, and a PT YachtMaster (as well as assortment .... all bought a while ago... and I don't find myself wearing them... I guess I got into reps via this brand and then grew onto other brands that I tend to prefer now.
Mickey Padge Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 it's 8:11 am here (-10gmt).. hope you guy's can stay up.. I think I will have a nice suprise tomorrow when I get up
Newdoc Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 @ Lani I like how you inadvertently became the official reviewer of this watch just because you were the first person to say he got it. I don't think my desperate pleas in the shoutbox helped that much. --- I wasn't really as impressed by the gen as I was at first either. --- What we really need is a side by side comparison, ya'll. Maybe we should ease up off Lani since he doesn't have the gen and will be going off his memory of the gen from the AD....who wouldn't even give him a book... What a shame
lanikai Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 I think I will have a nice suprise tomorrow when I get up OK MP >> Chronus Posted Today, 08:18 AM I guess I got into reps via this brand and then grew onto other brands that I tend to prefer now I started with Rollies and Pams.. then opened up to Omegas... and "everything" in between.. now back to the beggining.... and I'm sure it will morph again.. it's what I like about this hobby of ours..
docblackrock Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Right I'm sick of this and Lani's slacking , it's finally here, so it's about bloody time we have some pics in this thread, including macro shots...(wooo! ) ....of the genuine 116710, mwahahahaha.....

Ahhhh.. S.. I see you could not resist... ...you betta get your signature back on track hea ... I sure am slacking with you missing... and it even has the "correct hand stack"

It lacks all the little details that make the rep so unique.

Nice one Some great shots there, thanks very much! Maybe Lani could try to duplicate them for a comparison?
lanikai Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Nice one Some great shots there, thanks very much! Maybe Lani could try to duplicate them for a comparison? Yes that would be great..

red Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 does that mean I'm off the hook.. no need to post pics ??? You should know the answer to that? We need your input.
