dmastah12 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I've been waiting for this since I saw the gen, but there's no way i'm paying $500-$600 for it. I have a feeling its 500-600 pesos, well lets hope i am right!!! :p
mjmurphy926 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 $450 - 550 is the latest estimate $450 I'll at least consider...$600 not a chance in hell.
brsmith1 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I like the black on black option on josh's page the most, by far
wheaton26 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 it's now available for pre-order at puretime as well. please note that his picture is of a genuine.
mjmurphy926 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 it's now available for pre-order at puretime as well. please note that his picture is of a genuine. WOW!!! Puretime's price is a penny!! Now I'm tempted!!
vric Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 For $0.01 I'm in !!! Seriously, I was ready for $350.. mayyyyyybe $400.. but no way I pay $500- 600 while the PVD is $250... but again.. they sold many $1000 HBB so...
poopypants Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 VERY INTERESTING... looks like the same description on both sellers... yet, both of these claimed "DIFFERENT FACTORY" for EACH model of the Skylands including the PVD... add that one to the list of 1:1, Perfect, Ultimate, etc...
Dave123 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I think I will pass at $500-600, the lume would have to be improved massively to even consider it...... Indeed,just can't wear these watches outside with that stand out issue,at any price actually. I'm amazed at the effort put into these reps,like doing the blacksteel case and yet these minor parts like the lume dots are so horrid and ruin the effort.....has to be on purpose.
magagne Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 WOW....I was excited first....the pics look promising UFF....I am disapointed now.....the price looks desperate Think I will spend my money on another watch....what a shame. Theo +1 here too... I was willing to buy the black version, but at this price, I'll go to get the new Chrono Omega black dial vesion.
Cucumber_Jones Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 With lume dots like that I would pay $225 max. With an ETA and good lume dots I would pay $375 to $450 MAX. Once again - those quotes prices are ass rape.
ChronoKing Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Just horrible pricing, I think they'll miss the mark with this one.
bwhitesox Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Cuccumber thats one way of putting it
World Traveller Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 What is the real one going to cost? What are the opinions of the Skyland Avenger Chrono reps?
yodap Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Posted October 18, 2008 With lume dots like that I would pay $225 max. With an ETA and good lume dots I would pay $375 to $450 MAX. Once again - those quotes prices are ass rape. lol, an ETA7750 costs 500 alone Maybe the factories can get them around 400, but no way for a watch with ETA at 450 bucks I think it costs so much because of the blacksteel treatment. Greetz.
Toadtorrent Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Why are certain numbers excluded?........ I have no idea. It's a Chinese thing...#8 is a lucky number...so they are essentially pre-allocated to those "inside" the industry...either to Josh himself and the gang, and the factory folks. #4 is the bad number...
Toadtorrent Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 lol, an ETA7750 costs 500 alone Maybe the factories can get them around 400, but no way for a watch with ETA at 450 bucks I think it costs so much because of the blacksteel treatment. Exactly. You won't get a Swiss 7750 watch for under $700...so if you're hoping for this Blacksteel with a Valjoux7750...try iOffer and trust their "real swiss movement" descriptions. There aren't many real Swiss 7750 reps out there for under $700.
Toadtorrent Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 I've been waiting for this since I saw the gen, but there's no way i'm paying $500-$600 for it. I'd want a swiss 7750 in it for that price. If that does turn out to be the price, i'll probably get the PVD V1/3 version or maybe even the stainless steel. You won't be getting Swiss for that price...guaranteed...especially with the non-PVD treatment...which is supposed to be much harder than PVDD. See my post above. The Swiss movement along costs $400-500...plus swap labour if you were to get one on your own.
breitling&omega Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Does anyone know where you can find a variety of reps- ie. various brands other than maybe hublot with Valjoux7750 movement? Other than the dealers which advertise on this forum, anyone else out there carrying higher end reps? thanks
Rxus Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 I already see hundreds of our members lined up to pay 500-600-700 for this watch...It's the way of the world, not worth complaining about. Very sweet watch, just get it relumed serviced and PVD the SS bracelet and rub it down with CC to match the blacksteel and you got a killer watch..Sure it will run you around $1300 but oh well at a third the cost of GEN it's a steal right
Rolexman Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 It's a Chinese thing...#8 is a lucky number...so they are essentially pre-allocated to those "inside" the industry...either to Josh himself and the gang, and the factory folks. #4 is the bad number... Thanks for the insight Toad!

See my post above. The Swiss movement along costs $400-500...plus swap labour if you were to get one on your own. When I came to these forums (2005) $600 would buy you a Daytona (seconds at 9 and not very accutare) with a swiss 7750 in it no problem. It was all of a sudden that the prices shot up to more like $1000.
