801run Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 I just received my first brand new replica watch in 10 months... and what an absolute STUNNER it is! By-Tor, that Ebel is amazing! Have you had time to compare it to the gen? It seems to be really true to the gen, judging by pictures at least. I also like the black dial version, Silix doesn't seem to have it with the SS bracelet though =( Btw, I only found this site couple days ago and I've learned so much, really great resource! Your reviews and rep comparision guides are simply great and very informative, thank you. I've got the feeling this rep-business is gonna be a serious addiction for me =)
Cats Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Nice chrono By-Tor today i decided to go for a little older timepiece then your newest rep , my gen Ebel 1911. Carpe Diem Cats

freddy333 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 I just received my first brand new replica watch in 10 months... and what an absolute STUNNER it is! Apparently, well worth the wait, too. By-Tor, that is a FINE lookin' watch, my friend. Nothing new at this end
TwoTone Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Quick & dirty phone shot... Chopard GT Chrono... .
Mickey Padge Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Grey dial Skyland on a gen croc strap
Jurgenk Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Back from the dead (using other dead 7750s for parts) recently. Had stopped running only a week after receiving it a year ago. Delayed gratification, but worth the wait. Old news to repiristis but like new to me today.
Toadtorrent Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Apparently, well worth the wait, too. By-Tor, that is a FINE lookin' watch, my friend. Nothing new at this end Go Freddy. I'm all over that retro-sub with the floppies... You should have pulled out some of the BIG floppies for photo. @BT...yup...I like that Ebel more and more I see it @UB...your gen Skyland rocks.
Chino Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 @BT: lovin' that discovery man, want one already. @ubi: I'd take a tudor sub over *almost* any submariner in a heartbeat, nice piece! @Dani: temped to pull the antenna out?... let us know if you do! (j/k) @toomuchgear: those vintage MM are pulling me seriously to start looking for a mini fiddy... I just couldn't wear a 47mm... but trying to keep away from a vintage pannie, even though imaging it with a very heavily distressed vintage leather... mmmhhhh, makes me vintage hungry. today I've been wearing my Deltick 005, on a TC marina strap bought from Rolli quite some time ago. Pics taken with the phone camera during a short braek at work. off to bed, bye! Chino.
freddy333 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Go Freddy. I'm all over that retro-sub with the floppies... You should have pulled out some of the BIG floppies for photo. The floppies are not there for effect. I have spent the past 3 days hunched over an ailing computer trying to rebuild its Windows registry using every old PC-builders' tool I have. Believe me, if I was doing the retro-thing, I would have pulled out the old Microsoft Windows/286 5.25 inchers.
tazzman Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) okey... I was wrong!!. I thought that all the talk about the avenger was just talk.. sure its probably a nice rep but how good could it be..and for a price under $300 .. i was wrong, dead wrong..the watch is absolutely fantastic and in my opinion it outtakes everything i've seen so far, even the BCE which was my earlier favorite. It also throw my brand new AP rubberclad off my wrist which I planned to wear all week.. ..a quick pic on the balcony .. thanx, - tazz btw..if the rep-AR continues to be this good it will take Jakub out of business..not good for my friend.. - tazz Edited August 26, 2008 by tazzman
stevethebest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 How large is your wrist, tazz? I'm afraid the Avenger would be too big for my 17 cm okey... I was wrong!!.

greg_r Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 STill this... I'm not surprised you're still wearing that - it's a gorgeous thing. Sigh - yet another watch on my 'want' list...
supermanx Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 I'm giving the Skyland a break this week:
Toadtorrent Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 I'm not surprised you're still wearing that - it's a gorgeous thing. Sigh - yet another watch on my 'want' list... Yup...the 3717-02/05 is a beauty.
Toadtorrent Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 The floppies are not there for effect. I have spent the past 3 days hunched over an ailing computer trying to rebuild its Windows registry using every old PC-builders' tool I have. Believe me, if I was doing the retro-thing, I would have pulled out the old Microsoft Windows/286 5.25 inchers. Nice...it wasn't until fairly recently, that I finally ditched my OS/2 disks. End of an era. I'm thinking of doing that Vintage Sub thing...or possibly a 1655 project, but I'm not sure if want to venture down that long path of sourcing, and modding, etc. I headed over to the AD at the Eaton's Centre in Toronto to find out that it's closed for awhile for big renovations, so I didn't get a chance to try on the Skyland and see how big it looks on my wrist. Many of the wrist shots (BT and Lani of course are DEFINITE exceptions) seem to make the Skyland like a huge puck on the wrist.
tazzman Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 How large is your wrist, tazz? I'm afraid the Avenger would be too big for my 17 cm Between 17-18cm depending on where u measure ..so it will probably be pretty nice on you. I dont thinkt its to big on me anyhow .. - tazz
freddy333 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Many of the wrist shots (BT and Lani of course are DEFINITE exceptions) seem to make the Skyland like a huge puck on the wrist. Like most Breitlands, to me, they all look like pucks with (to paraphrase a line from 'Amadeus') too many features. I recently threw out my set of OS/2 installation floppies. As I recall, it required 30 or 40 of them to install the full OS package (back in the days when CD-ROM drives were still a relatively rare commodity).
RobbieG Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 The 42MM PO hasn't been getting much wristtime lately with an over abundance of love going to newer aquisitions. Let's change that shall we?
Stephane Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Ok, sorry to be late but Jojo and I needed to find a great plave So here is our common wrist shot for the beginning of the week! JoJo35's wrist Mine Cheers Stephane & Jojo
dylan Posted August 27, 2008 Report Posted August 27, 2008 I'm not surprised you're still wearing that - it's a gorgeous thing. Sigh - yet another watch on my 'want' list... run run and go get one...i haven't been this excited over a rep in a while..
