kdo2milger Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 This watch needs no introduction. Pics speak for themselves... Thanks Josh, you are a True Gentleman And boxset ofcourse, from ebay..
Watchmeister Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 Beautiful watch. I bought one from a forum member and I have to say this one is incredibly close to gen right out of the box. With the screw down crown I have been using it as my swim watch for the summer. The box is fabulous. IMHO, one of the two or three best reps out of the box. The date font is a little lacking but aren't they all. Wear it well. A fabulous rep and welcome break from the typical Rolex or Panerai.

ubiquitous Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 Absolutely gorgeous!! That bracelet is truly exquisite, and the box set just puts it over the top! I suspect this will be a limited edition run, and once they're gone, they'll be gone. I may have to pick one up...

I know its hard to see in the pics, but the dial almost matches the interior of the box perfectly, i find myself just sitting and looking at it
ratchpot Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 What's that in the compartment with the ribbon around it?
Craytonic Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 What's that in the compartment with the ribbon around it? It is the cleaning cloth. I have one of these OEM boxes and love it! Now I just need the 1:1 overseas to replace my old one.
Watchmeister Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 Cray- If you liked the original version this is a must have. Size and proportions are perfect. Bracelet is as good as the first version. With the screw down crown and ETA movement this one should be a lifelong keeper.
Craytonic Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 I am just a little worried about the screws on the bracelet falling out; only thing holding me back. If it worked out I would get it relumed and see if The Zigmeister could put the old cross on the new watch. The old one had a better date window as well, but I would prefer the 1:1 case.
watchgrl Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 I love this watch. I wish the ladies version was more accurate...
Watchmeister Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 Cray- I was worried about the little screws too. I actually got a spare bracelet for just this problem on the first version. I have been giving them one at a time to friends who lose a screw. On the new one I immediately loctited in all the screws. Moving the larger cross from one to the other is a great idea. I will have to look at that.
Craytonic Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 good idea on the spare bracelet. I think I will order one of these if I can get one of those.
Linder Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 I love this watch. I wish the ladies version was more accurate... The only literature I have on the gen fem version is at home but wasn't it supposed to be quartz as well as significantly smaller than the rep?
watchgrl Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 The only literature I have on the gen fem version is at home but wasn't it supposed to be quartz as well as significantly smaller than the rep? Yes, and the dial is different from the pictures I have seen of the rep.
emuozz Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 That watch with the box looks great, but I think that the box is a little bit expensive. If only our dealers also sell the 1:1 rep box. Thanks for sharing
Chronus Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 Very nice watch. I'm wearing it right now I'm on the fence whether it's worth getting the IWC Ingenieur when this reminds me of it! Both are top notch watches with little modifications needed.
HauteHippie Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Talk about necroposting........... Necropostphilia should be a crime.
