b16a2 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Nice review, this watch has certainly set the standard for Pam base watches. Why on earth the factorys haven't released one of their 'SuperTed' versions yet I don't know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is older than that. Period and that watch is pure awesomness. Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peepshow Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Am I the only one that would have trouble paying ~$650 USD for an A6497 powered rep? Seriously? The dial is an improvement, yes, but it still needs work (fonts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dial is an improvement, yes, but it still needs work (fonts). I'm with you Peeps, the dial txt still needs a little 'polishing up' on print quality and thickness for a $300 dial, I agree. And the price is actualy gone up, hovering around 1K at the mo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepshow Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) $1K? Wow... You could buy a nice used SMP for that. Heck, there's a Breitling Chrono Avenger white dial on WUS right now for ~$1400, I think. Oh, well, I was saying the same thing when folks were buying $1K HBBs. The movement, while again a noticeable improvement over standard rep kit, still isn't there, either.

Master Chief Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Yes, you are right. We all know we could buy nice new GEN SEIKO 5 series automatic for under $200. and my watch is $650, not 1k. $1K? Wow... You could buy a nice used SMP for that.
