By-Tor Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I always wanted the smaller date-only model. King has this one... it's a silly fantasy model, but the build quality doesn't look bad at all. This one is equipped with the low beat old Asian 7750 though. So... wouldn't it be logical to release a blue dial version of this too? Of course we have no guarantees about the quality. But hey, we can always hope... I'd be the first one to get it (if it's good). Although I love my 'Racer and it's definitely a super rep, I'm not that fond of oversized watches anymore. Smaller version would be nicer (just mho).

strattakan Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 the interesting thing in this story, is that i have found looking at amazon some kind of "updated" aquaracer model, and this rep looks partially like this gen: Aquaracer updated the second subdial, and the different bezel print (although in the rep is a compass) makes me think the rep factory maybe try to make some variant of this update model. Also, i really like the gray on the gen, reminds-me the link dial color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Yeah, but this watch only works with blue dial (for me anyway). Other versions do nothing for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strattakan Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 BTW, are the blue dial of the rep with the same hue of the gen, or is it wrong? Also, is interesting that this "updated" aquaracer don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 The blue on the day-date model isn't 100% exact. The gen is a bit "more blue". Check this: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=48707 Nevermind the TAG site, they're always very slow to update anything there. It took almost a year to get the day-date 'Racer photos there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
