hiker01 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 I've been waiting for this baby: I hope they clone it soon! Anyone else waiting for this watch? Edited: Let's make this into a Poll?
b16a2 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 I think Laz posted this a while ago and it had a lot of attention then too. If this were ever repped I think it would be one of the fastest selling divers watches they would ever make
Ztech Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 Waiting??? I've been praying for a rep of this to come out! A few years ago I had an opportunity to pick up the original model from someone who was clearing out their safe. I passed... it was one of the worst mistakes I've ever lived to regret. I hope one of the super rep manufacturers rep this one soon.
Shundi Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 Wonder how they'll do that bezel...if I understand correctly it has a sapphire "Cap" to prevent scratches to the bezel.
takashi Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 not much different from making a sapphire glass. Possible to rep? Definitely. Do I want one? Yes.
Jaymoi Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 I would kill to have the 50f modern one repped.
hiker01 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 Well (and I posted this at larz thread), my source just confirmed that it's highly unlikely that it will be Rep'ed! Not a very popular GEN watch and the size is too small, he said! But I if a 100 or more of us would sign in, they might change their mind! Let's keep the POLL going! Hike
chad Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Well (and I posted this at larz thread), my source just confirmed that it's highly unlikely that it will be Rep'ed! Not a very popular GEN watch and the size is too small, he said! Stupid thing to say considering they just released the concord C1 and I did a search on the major watch forums and there is little to NO interest in that watch and the FF is one MM bigger than the C1.

I don't have a friggin idea why they Rep some and not the others! It's a strange world out there! But, lets all try anyway.......it's all about demand in this business anyway!
thetwins Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I've mentioned repping this watch a couple of times on other forums -- count me in!!

georgegrasser Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I would kill to have the 50f modern one repped. Please PM me so that I may give you my Mother-in Laws address.
hiker01 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 Please PM me so that I may give you my Mother-in Laws address. Only, and only if the 50F is repped! He wont kill your MNL for nothin!
georgegrasser Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 I just bought a Tissot Seastar 1000. I figured it was close enough in looks and style to the Blancpain. http://img.timezone.com/img/articles/news6...Seastar1000.jpg

I hope you're not having crown/stem problems like I did with mine. Sorry to say she didn't stay long, but for the price it's a pretty good watch. I'm a lume freak and that thing had NO lume.
lazarini Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 yea good old 50 ... if they do this in a "super rep" edition i think they would make goooood money ... cmon it can be done but no they rather rep the g shock looking zenith i mean don't get me wrong to all his own but the factories have lousy sense of business ... as this is all what it is for them money ... that said they would sell the 50 in greater quantities then quite some number of reps that surfaced recently ... some dealer needs to recognize this and put the wheels in motion ... Angus was know for things like this before ... laz
TK471 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 This watch is amazing. The gen is the best looking diver in the history of all time and space.
hiker01 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Posted July 24, 2008 C'mon guys! This does not look good! Don't tell me Joshua is right, not enough demand!
georgegrasser Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) The Seastar is a pretty good watch. I hope you're not having crown/stem problems like I did with mine. Sorry to say she didn't stay long, but for the price it's a pretty good watch. I'm a lume freak and that thing had NO lume. My Seastar just arrived today. Lume seems OK. Mine has the updated minute hand sans skeletonization. AR is very poor with quite a bit of glare. I ran into a better diver than the Blancpain. The Glycine Lagunare 3000 looks better and has a nicer bezel. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/TL...5/baselgly3.jpg However best watch for the money is the Festina Manhattan. Construction is just fantastic and the watch commands attention. Edited August 1, 2008 by georgegrasser
