bonecollector Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) I don't have a single "rep" watch, so I'm looking to get one to dip the toe in the reps. There appear to be lots of noob Rolexes that seem to be fairly highly thought of, any good Omegas on the cheap? I particularly like the PO's. I'm looking to spend only around $100 or so, so obviously I'm not looking for perfection, but would like to know what would be "OK" to get new, or to look out for on the sales forum. Thanks Edited April 17, 2009 by bonecollector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 For $100, the best buy is the PO by Narikaa. He's going to be going on travels soon, so you might be able to get one within a few weeks. Otherwise, in for sale section, http://repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=59614 As seen in this thread, http://www.rwg.cc/members/Narikaa-42mm-PO-black-t91573.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got one of these bad boys and they are a great watch for the money, if you do look into this watcheden sell a seamaster rubber strap that will fit this version as it has the 20mm lug width Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonecollector Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 get a PO from watcheden, $128 - $20 discount = $108!! Anyone know if that version measures up to Narikaa's? What $20 discount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SliceMaster Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Anyone know if that version measures up to Narikaa's? What $20 discount? If you have a look in the top right corner he has a coupon code that you use when you buy a watch and it gives you a $ 20 discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Anyone know if that version measures up to Narikaa's? What $20 discount? From what I can see, Narikaa's PO is better, as it has the correct size crown, AR and better engraving on the case back, so value for money is definitely better from Reg. (+ Watcheden have very restrictive payment options) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royler_g Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Narikaa's version seems to be a killer for the price... Hope I can get my hands on one from the new batch... which would also be my first rep - and probably not the last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning towards waiting for the Narikaa version to be back in stock at the moment but that does look very nice if for some reason Narikaa can't get more, or I get impatient.

Been here going on 2 years.. and never dealt with narikaa.. although i've always heard good things. Does he have a website? Does his version include Sapphire crystal with AR? If not... it might be worth it to look into Angus' version at Puretime. $128 for a serviced, sapphire crystal PO with AR is the best I could find anywhere. Most other dealers offer this version with mineral crystal and no AR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxim Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I've dealt with Reg before and do not have a single bad word against him. If you want more info, there's a section in the Trader's Area, with a careful explanation of his dealings. If I had the choice of waiting for Narikaa's version or paying $30 more, I'd go for Narikaa's version. You get so much more for your money.

bonecollector Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 now thats really up tp u, its a matter of taste Well, it was something of a rhetorical question, but it looks like I'll have to make a decision very quickly - got a PM from Narikaa that he just picked up a bunch of these today.
