spookycord Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Any one picked one of these up yet? http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=423 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot9011 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) IMO, kinda pointless to rep a watch that's suppposed to have a split-seconds chrono and only have one chrono hand. I think the second pusher is functionless ...No? Edited June 11, 2008 by jot9011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbird Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) So is this just the top gun with a more accurate caseback? I likey. Edited June 11, 2008 by redbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookycord Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 There are other flaws as well of course. Gen is 46mm, rep is 42. Gen is ceramic case, rep is pvd. Gen has white datewheel. Rep is black (same as gen top gun). I'm sure there are others but these are the obvious ones. I still think it is a great looking watch, regardless of accuracy. Kinda reminds me of an MBW Nautilus. Not an exact replica of any one Patek Nautlius model, but still a high quality timepiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an exact replica of any one Patek Nautlius model, but still a high quality timepiece. The gen in the picture above is the Carlzon version with blue dial and white date wheel. The gen with black dial also have a black date wheel. I like this rep. It is a good looking watch in it's own. With the new case back it is even better. Other than pugwash no one has posted wrist shots of it, as far as I know. Wrist shots anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Well, this watch seems to be a mixture of the TOP-GUN Doppelchrono and the normal TOP-GUN chrono. But either watch compared is different ... - size should be 44mm or 46mm...NOT 42mm - the pusher at 10 o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Kind of says it all. This particular watch is in the realm of fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 ...And a lovely fantasy it is! I'll be picking one up. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwinner Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 same here.... I'm just back from a short weekendbreak in Miami and have been wearing the Top Gun Chrono (not the double chrono) at the local dealer. It looks stunning! Other major flaw is that the gen case bears a topgun engraving on the left side (just below the second pusher on the picture). Haven't seen this one on the reps yet... Furthermore I was tempted on pulling the trigger on a gen mk xvi, but apparantly the gen dealers have the same issue as our collectors... not in stock :-( Guess I need to get back soon ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
