rkdk Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Its absolutely silly. They are using the old mvmnt for this one. Talk about stupidity.
Chronus Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 finally!!! I knew it was only matter of time when it will be released...now let's see if there are any bigger flaws! more pics on : http://www.kingwatches.net/ Appears to have running seconds at 9... is that correct?
Dani Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 OHO HOHOHOHOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOHO YES YESY YES MY GRAIL IHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHA :band1: :band1: :band1: :band1: :band1: :band1: :band1: :band1: :band1: :band1:
anton Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 I guess the experts will be up shortly to nitpick...but I thought there was only ONE version of the Barrichello available? Gen:
rkdk Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 id kill for one of these with the seconds at 12. It doesnt look half bad. especially because the caseback is solid on the gen aswell. Please give us the updated version, oh sweet and holy rep manufacturers:-)
Manitou Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 I guess the experts will be up shortly to nitpick...but I thought there was only ONE version of the Barrichello available? Gen: As far as I remember theres a Ti, Rose Gold and Plat version.
Chronus Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Looks like the Brasilian flag colours of the chrono counters are not correct... that looks like orange rather than yellow
Chronus Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 As far as I remember theres a Ti, Rose Gold and Plat version. I'd be interested in a correct titanium version, but what we'll get are very expensive plated gold and going by the BB King, an even more pricey so-called "platinum-plated" version.
dadog13 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Posted July 7, 2008 I was in a hurry posting pics of these and I didn't even noticed all the flaws it's got...the good thing is that we'll definitely see the updated version with the running sec @12
slai Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Will the secs at 9 dial and case fit the new secs at 12 movement?
Chronus Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Will the secs at 9 dial and case fit the new secs at 12 movement? I doubt it, don't forget it's being advertised as having non-symmetrical subdials. I was in a hurry posting pics of these and I didn't even noticed all the flaws it's got...the good thing is that we'll definitely see the updated version with the running sec @12 Thanks for bringing up the pics... I can understand your excitement. When I saw it said it was the lower beat Asian movement, that's when it twigged that it's the seconds at 9 movement.
Dani Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 i em down from the trip to RB2 heaven, this rep are awfull. Man sec at 9 and in correct hands as pointed out above. [censored]
bosk Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 The date window looks soooo horrible, IMO. Most the pieces are there, Y don't the rep factories just execute with more precision? -bosk
Dani Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 The date window looks soooo horrible, IMO. Most the pieces are there, Y don't the rep factories just execute with more precision? -bosk who now's why they can't make watches like this correct they have it so good but yet so bad.. I think its diffrent from factory to factory have the quality will be.. I whish i had connections in China or talked the langued.
italiano17771 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 i dont know guys....i still might have to get one. this is my grail.
Mickey Padge Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 i dont know guys....i still might have to get one. this is my grail. Wait for the seconds at 12 version, this watch is very poor, but should be quite cheap I would hope.....
MADRED7 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Well.....I do appreciate that the factories did come out with this model....unfortunately it is far beyond of being a nice rep.....hell, why did they come out with the HIGH-END sec@12 ROO and hit the market with this poor RBII-WANNABE only 1 week later. Thats what some would call a complete failure in marketing strategy I like the fact they tried....I hope they will come up with a RBII-2nd Edition Theo
rckh Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Dear All Buddies: Save your money for this one; it's not came from the factory/maker who make new AP@12sec. This factory only make this one by photos; it won't be 1:1 or close to Gen. The factory who make @12sec had bought the Gen on last year to clone this. Also; Gen is made by Full Titanium case + Ceramic Bezel & chrono-button. Wait for a moment; a much much better is or it's way. No waste your money on this one..... Don't ask me how do I know. I can tell you but I'll kill you after I tell you...........got that? Best Regards, Raymond
Watchmeister Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Thanks for the warning. I must say that you take one look at this versus the current offerings and you know that it is coming from a lower end factory. And why do they offer it now? Because that is what is available. I am very much looking forward to seeing the next version. Between the ti, ceramic and everything else going on with this watch it will be one of the toughest to rep.
dalayclass Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 and one of the most expensive, I bet on more than 1000$...
Manitou Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 and one of the most expensive, I bet on more than 1000$... I would say that if they REALLY nail the Ti/ceramics/fancy design/12 o'clock secs/assymetric subs/perforated dial, I think it's one of the first ones who might actually be worth something in the 800-900-1000 range
