watchlover1 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I am starting to think the same way. It is to late for me since I should be getting my watch in Monday. I will post pics when I get it. Now is it better or more acceptable to have the Ceramic Bezel that is Smooth with the thin font or Bezel that is engraved with a closer font?

CY0811 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 what about the domed crystal issue....no version has a better crystal yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilts Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Argh! Driving me mad! Was hoping to get myself a decent Christmas present - think I'll get a GMT II instead and give this another couple months to settle down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchlover1 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I just received my Rep of the new Deep Sea Sea Dweller and Pasha Seatimer. It is a very nice watch over all. Flaws are as follows: The Bezel is nice and has the thicker font but is not smooth. The Bracelet needs to be oiled. The Lume is incorrect. The Hands are the only ones that have blue the rest is Green. On the Diver Extension there is no engraved Rolex Emblem. Crystal is incorrect. No etching at 6. I think that is better so you do not see it. Compared to the Gen and I like the rep crystal better. Over all a GREAT looking Watch. See my pics and sorry for the poor quality.

Nice watch but it is a V2 not a V3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 What about this one...is it V3/V4? http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=88388&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchlover1 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 It seems that way. I prefer the V2 since it has the thinker font on the bezel even though it is not smooth. Movement is Swiss ETA 2836-2. The Lume does not matter to me. Especially when I compare any watch to ye Gen Ball Master II Diver.

tenacious_b Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 That is what everyone is calling V3 aka 1:1...it is the ONLY one so far with the correct crown guard that is curve cut around the entire crown. It also suffers from bezel font that is too thin. What about this one...is it V3/V4? http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=88388&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

im2 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 If River can get Honpo watches then that opens the door for some very nice reps that we can't get here....I think a PM to River is in order. Did you get any answer from River??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
