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 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share 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 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newdoc Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share 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..
