Dani Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 omg that was uglyyyyy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 What is even funnier is they are supposed to be of the Maxi Marine Chronograph 41MM - I think...given that they are the only other chronograph in the line and given the attempt at the seconds at 3 of the 2894 ebauche. I guess they decided to use the Diver indices and hands though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 on King's site there is a remark made with Genuine as a sample?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Ugh...that is a terrible watch..I shudder to think of someone dropping $400 inclusive of shipping for this sea hag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 "Made with a Genuine watch as Sample" Who was the watchmaker that replicated this watch from the gen.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Are these people even trying anymore? $400? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 on King's site there is a remark made with Genuine as a sample?! Yeah offcaurse its the new 1:1 term. So many idiots on this forums that falls for all this [censored] from our so called trusted dealers, its time for this and other forums to go back to why we created this playgrounds to KEEP PEOPLE FROM GETTING SCAMMED.

fotoman Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 its supposed to be this watch, not even remotely close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 i have found that king will put any [censored] watch that comes out on her site. i have found that josh is a little more pickey my experience is, if king is he only one displaying a watch - don't buy it. having said hat, this watch is a POS and not made from gen - and that should be called out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 its supposed to be this watch, not even remotely close Oh yeah, the hybrid as I like to call it. I forgot about that one - bad, bad, bad Nardin ambassador. Good catch on the failing mind of the old man. I'm going to have to relinquish my resident UN expert status to Pho.

emuozz Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 400? It must be a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 no no, Robbie is the man, i am a mere apprentice the ones you showed, are actually my favorite lots of people thought no chance cause of the 45 minute indicator. so maybe there is hope to make the really cool version in a super rep these prices are kind of like the zenith models, which are just not close enough to be super repped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I guess it's true when they say one man's shit is another mans gold, I actually really like it... Large clear dial, noticeable hands and indices, it may not be perfect in terms if replication, and the price is a little steep, but as watches go, I quite like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Easy to read I'll give you that T., but flaws aside I can't share your sentiment of liking it in anyway. What I'm trying to figure out is what movement they used to get the case and spacing to look like that. We know it isn't a 2894 (and when will Seagull or Sellita clone that BTW?) so what is it?

RobbieG Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Another thing. Of course I was right in that the Blue Seal these are supposed to be still is a Maxi Marine Chronograph with the Caliber 35 (2894 ebauche). But given that all the MMC's are 41MM - including the standard issue versions I posted above - why would they make the rep 44MM? Again, what is the deal with the movement? Is it a modified A7750 with secs @3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess to each his own I mean, I don't like it enough to buy one, and probably wouldn't even at $108 with an Asian movement, but as watches go, I've certainly seen some worse ones out there I wouldn't have a clue about the movement, as that's not an area I'm overly familiar with...
