capice Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 Finally , after By Tor "pursueded" me to buy this beauty, it has arrived today from PT..... Pics will follow asap Some quick pics What surprised me was the high quality of the bracelet, as mentioned by another member Although I don't have a big wrist, it didn't need any adjustment. I don't know if this is the standard size but it might be a good idea for people with a bigger wrist to chesck with the supplier and order extra links if possible Another thing on this watch: the stem and crown are very loose and wobbly(if that is the right word) something I haven't seen on any of my other reps Overall it is a beauty............ Updated with some pics from the subdials
AMK000 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 I am thinking for one of these. What you got ??? black or white ???
rek001 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 Congrats! How's the bracelet? I tried on the gen at AD a few days ago and was VERY impressed with it. The bracelet was incredible - made up of many small links that just bent and flowed with the curvature of the wrist, I wonder how well they duplicated it. Also, the gen comes with 3 year warranty, makes me think about getting one.
By-Tor Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 This is great news! Please post LOTS of pictures and a wrist shot!!!
TK471 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 Posting to subscribe to the thread. Can't wait to see the pictures!
capice Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Posted July 26, 2008 will give it a go in a few hours... Took a few quick pics, will be back next week with some better ones Have a great weekend all
By-Tor Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Thanks for the pics Capice, it looks absolutely amazing! What's the size? Does it wear big, and is the AR apparent on the white dial?
AMK000 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Vey nice the Panda dial. Capice: is the crown standing a bit high or is not fully screwed-in ??
capice Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Posted July 27, 2008 Crown was not fully screwed in, and I noticed that I forgot to take of the plastic seal on the crystal taking the pics..... The size is about 44mm but it doesn't wear big,for size it can be compared with the Seamaster Pro chrono The dial is not bright white but a little creamish white, looks very nice I hope to visist an AD today at a little GTG in Amsterdam to look what the gen dialcolor is
By-Tor Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Surprising it's 44mm. It doesn't look that big on your wrist. Please post more pics.
takashi Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Looks very very nice. Perhaps this is my next ebel The colour is spot on! Deep black on bezel and shades of black on subdial.
AMK000 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 I think the only visible difference when compared to the gen , are the subdials. On the rep are flat where (I think) on the gen are raised and with an angle. Despite of this is a pretty neat rep. Edited: I am correcting this for the flat subdials on the Rep. Silix got up a new picture now with more detail and the subdials look like on the gen.
capice Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Posted July 31, 2008 @ AM..no on the rep they are also domed a little, I will take some better pics ... someone on RG is selling his cheap....
EuroTimez Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Beautiful pics Capice (as usually) the first one / last one looks like a real catalog picture.... you make it looks soo good. What camera you use...? Did you use photoshop? really cool! By-Tor yours is already ordered trying to score an extra strap for you rgds Chris
capice Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Posted July 31, 2008 Tnx Chris, as you know I would have ordered with you if mailproblems didn't interfere.....Hope to order with a fellowdutchy next time AM, a few pics for you. As you can see the subdials are somewhat domed as the gen is
AMK000 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks Capice. Yeap ... subdials look exactly as gen. Lovely watch and fantastic pictures. ...... so temptimg Do I get the APROO or this .... or maybe both ;-)
capice Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Posted August 1, 2008 forget the AP m8, here are some shots to compare the size of the Discovery 005-dicovery-anonimo(50mm)-fiddy and yes , I know there is some dust on a few....just quick snappies...
ubiquitous Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Looks great! Love those subdials! Certainly doesn't look like it wears like a 44mm watch... Very tempting, methinks!
scoobs1971 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 That's a nice group shot, R! I think it's time for me to give you a visit soon to see the Discovery on my own wrist. Very tempting....
Chino Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 that one's nice, and the panda dial is just stunning. looks like a pretty solid piece. very tempting. I'd like to see it compared to the big Breits, to check on the size. congratrs!
By-Tor Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Can't wait to get mine... I already ordered a Panda dial from Eurotimez. Haven't bought a rep in 9 months, but this was way too tempting. Modern and classic design at the same time... and beautiful white dial. What more can you ask for?
