chad Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 What rep was a must have and then dropped off the face of the earth? The skyland is the one now but I think it is around to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 one of the IT reps that has stayed the longest might be the steelfish Still has it, to be honest. That's quite good longevity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 The PO hung in there for a pretty good stretch too. Still has it, to be honest. That's quite good longevity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 When was the last time you saw someone purchasing a IWC GST? That was really "hot topic" back in 2006, but now disappeared. It's very good rep, even by today's standards. I always wanted the white/gold hands version. I would have purchased it at some point, but I heard the bracelet is way too small... only fits like anorectic '7 wrists or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 IWC Cousteau's were so hot, then not. The SOH kind of came and went. But there are many great reps that flew so far under the radar, that they didn't need to disappear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maulermacall@hotmail.com Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hublot for me faded pretty fast. Just thankful I didnt have the money or the paitence to own the original. Pams also, just find them to be a bit dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 The IWC Portuguese bombed due to its troublesome movement. Otherwise it's a very attractive watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 BT did you ever consider getting a Slevin on a bracelet? I would think you would love that.

Chicken Manny Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I would say the "synthetic sapphire" 127's/1950. I couldn't wait to get one and couldn't have been more let down when I put a giant scratch across the crystal. LWL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takashi Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Many watches... As I shall put it, tend to be overlooked. Just look at ebel, Chopard Mille Miglia GTXL chrono, etc... They are definitely good rep but not very popular. IWC Ingenieur perhaps? I have seen late batches and am disappointed (especially with the bracelet). Even with the same rep, there is a tendency of varying quality too. Same can be said for IWC Ti GST Chrono. I have seen one of the latest batch too... Different datewheels, and somehow the bracelet feels rougher. Another good candidate is Porsche Design Flat 6... The bottom line is... replica watches are like fashion item. There will always be in and out... then in and out again (can be the same item). For example, discontinued Breitling Avenger Chrono Ti.

Flashman Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yep the V1 skyland has to be the shortest IT watch. Someone really scr*wed up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hublots of all kinds! I remember when Hublots first came out, it was Hublot mania! People were going insane buying them at these ludicrous prices, and now if you browse the latest wrist check threads you rarely see someone wearing one anymore...

Chronus Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 MBW PP Nautilus.. sadly no one seems to fawn about it anymore. Same goes for MBW AP RO Jumbo. Hmmmm chronos tend to replace non-chrono versions in the affections of many rep collectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 BT did you ever consider getting a Slevin on a bracelet? I would think you would love that. I really like it... but there are SO many watches I like. No, really... one of these days I'll get a IWC. I'm actually more fond of your version (the one with yellow on the dial). I like bright colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I really like it... but there are SO many watches I like. No, really... one of these days I'll get a IWC. I'm actually more fond of your version (the one with yellow on the dial). I like bright colors. I have to say my '06 Cousteau gets the most wrist time. The rubber strap really is very comfortable, and there's something about that nice big crystal and the internal rotating bezel. The SOH is an interesting one...came out to big accolades...then people slowly stopped talking about it. When they released the chrono, I thought people would be all over it, and if it weren't for the size, I would be too...but, nobody at RWG seemed to take to it. Now, they have the updated SOH and the SOH Chrono and I've seen a few posts on these...but not enough to say it's an "IT" watch. The 3717 Top Gun was quite popular for awhile and now, I don't see anybody talking about that one...even with the newer non-Top Gun caseback. I still like that watch as well.

By-Tor Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Another huge disappointment was the PO Chrono. The subdial spacing was excepted to be off... but it was still surprising how slow seller it was. Especially if you remember that UPO might be the best selling single replica model of all time.
