donq Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Josh has a new Seadweller rep on his homepage. No price or details but MUCH more accurate than the early attempts! I'm never going to save any money at this rate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Ok Guys pick out the faults (apart from the fact that most dont like it) lettering in the rehaut looks a bit grey not black the insert looks black with grey not black and while and i am not sure from the photo if it if has a ceramic bezel gen A case back shot from Josh would be good And repeat after me I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex,I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex,I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex,I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex,I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex,I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, I dont need a rolex, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer0023 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 actually, i like it! i am waiting to see some live shots before passing final judgement though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 It's hard to tell the colour of the lettering as the whole picture is a bit yellow. The pearl looks good to me though...surprising given past pearl issues. I know the price is going to come in high...so I think I'll probably stick to my Noob and spend the $300+ mark on getting something like the Skyland or Ebel Discovery.

lanikai Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Joshua advises to wait .. the genuine is with the maker.. this one has too many faults, it is made from pics from an alternate maker.... the better version will be released toward the end of the year..

maas Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 What about the clasp... I need the right one... Did I say I need ? Oh my god... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnBeever Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Considering the number of failed attempts its taken to get old model rep looking even passable I think the new SDS reps looks like a good starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
involt Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) It looks like the case shape is wrong (too large in comparison with the bezel?). The bezel insert isn't ceramic. The hour markers are horrible (the external ring is conical in order to imitate the big dial hour markers). The result isn't great IMHO.

MiguelCadiz Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Nobody catched the polished middle links on the bracelet? Polished middle links and non-ceramic bezel. The description on Josh and Trusty's sites says nothing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hopefully the better revision will have an 8mm crown and 21mm lugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Fan Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) Just for the sake of different pictures here's another link! Not affiliated at all to the dealer just some other pics!

casanile Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Touchdown! That one will be my next rep. What about the loupe effect? Does the gen has the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im2 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Touchdown! That one will be my next rep. What about the loupe effect? Does the gen has the same? I hope you are refering the the Deep Sea rep and NOT THAT CERTAIN rep ... Coz, this one is full of flaws... just full of flaws... Bracelet and case... What about the blue lume?? IMHO, when the factories try to make better versions , the bracelet will be the most serious problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nice appetizer, maybe I'm a little to much optimistic but I'm sure that we'll have a super rep soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 This will be my first Rolex rep, as soon as the better version is made. Being used to big watches has prevented me from buying one, and now there is no excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarini Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 For the moment i advise the people who are considering this one to hold their horses... as many have said this is way off in any sense of the word... Then again if u can live with it as it is i guess then go ahead but be sure that anyone who knows the watch will spot it as a rep and a bad one at that from a mile away... still to each its own i suppose regards laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely wait for a real decent rep. As you said, it has many flaws and easily to spot. There's no need to hurry, we have all the time in the world!

robertk Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 if you like it, buy it and enjoy. Nobody has even seen this model yet. The average Joe isn't going to spot any flaws. Just don't take it into an AD. Just enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAM Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Out of interest, do the gens have grey numbers not white on the bezel now? I've seen it on a few Subs on the dealer sites on here too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
