tenacious_b Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 If whatever factories were to build the following watches at the same level of quality and price as the GMTIIC, would you buy them?
OiRogers Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Only one of those which I see as being realistic to expect anytime soon is the Deep Sea Sea Dweller... I'm guessing the PO is past it's repping "prime" time. And I'm sure the Milgaus will have a few generations of rep done, but it doesn't strike me as having the following of many of the other Rollie watches... but as with many things, I could be wrong.
tenacious_b Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Posted August 14, 2008 I'd be happy if any of them are made...but I'd be thrilled if all were.
By-Tor Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Ditto, only 42mm PO interests me. Milgauss and DeepSeaDweller... nope. Classic SeaDweller... yes. But it's not realistic to except any more versions.
dadog13 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 they better concentrate their efforts on doing some NEW quality movements...so we might have new brands repped as Breguet,ALS,....
piratedzeus Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Who buys a rep of a 50k Brequet..? Best sellers are in the 2k-6k Range. Sub, SD, Omega, Breitling.
dadog13 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Who buys a rep of a 50k Brequet..? the Marine big date is priced in the 10+K$ range...ALS in the 20K$range...(I wasn't speaking of the waatches from the mentioned brands that have complications - and those are priced 50+k$) and you have amazing looking new reps... People go on and on bitching about PAMs, Omegas, Rolex, Breitling...when will they fix this, when will they fix that...keep in mind that we are dealing with reps and there will always be flaws...and we have X rolex models, you have an outsanding UPO already...
geestyleed Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Although I just bought a normal PO - I would by the UPO 42m, too!. The DeepSea is not my taste.... What are the main issues of the current PO42mm?

What are the main issues of the current PO42mm? everything... it is not a very good rep. bracelet, clasp, dial bezel, HE , crown, missing serial numbers

And I'm sure the Milgaus will have a few generations of rep done, but it doesn't strike me as having the following of many of the other Rollie watches... but as with many things, I could be wrong. I think that's a very rational and probable assessment all round.
Dizzy Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 GMT IIc is noob factory i believe. I think we'll see a Deep sea outta this factory within the next few months.. As soon as they can get one, I'm sure they'll tear it down and begin the copying process. You can already get crap versions but i'm sure they'll make a 1:1 version as soon as possible. I will buy one for sure... and the GMTIIc is still on my short list.
ironmarshal Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 42mm PO for me as well. I don't care for the Rolex's mentioned, but I wouldn't mind seeing some Breguet (particularly the Marine Big Date) as well.
seanf Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 the Marine big date is priced in the 10+K$ range...ALS in the 20K$range...(I wasn't speaking of the waatches from the mentioned brands that have complications - and those are priced 50+k$) and you have amazing looking new reps...

Dadog, I think you and I have very similar tastes. First that Vostok, and now the Marine Big Date. I've been asking for a rep of this for about a year, ever since Angus posted something and asked if there would be any interest in purchasing a rep of it. Unfortunately, I've yet to see any indication that any Breguets are coming.
cdv Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Who buys a rep of a 50k Brequet..? Best sellers are in the 2k-6k Range. Sub, SD, Omega, Breitling. I concur. But, I guess some people don't mind letting people know they are wearing a rep. To each his own.
