Oh dear. I'm about to swim against the tide.
I'm not exactly comparing like for like, but this is my stock, no rehault JF Kermit (with a $10 shark bezel swapped in at time of photo). To my eye, I fail to see what's so amazing about the TC to justify the massive price difference. I think a JF with prof/Gen crystal upgrade would look better than a stock TC with normal crystal. So it might be great and a better watch, but not worth the cost imo.
Anyway the thing that seams to me to be a huge contradiction in the rep world (not just here on RWI) is that with a TC sub everyone just adores it and gushes endlessly over it, but the Ginault gets an absolute battering, but surely the Ginault is just a TCV8 without Rolex on the dial??
As much as everyone hates to admit it - the Ginault doesnt have "ROLEX" on the dial. That is what everyone wants. We all say we like these watches for our own pleasure you can believe that if you wish but if we are being completely honest most people like to portray their reps as gens.
That is why the Ginault is not that popular.
Hi guys, I bought pancorjackhammer Ginault and must say she is a beauty, i've only had it for a couple of days and not absolutley sure if i will keep it, I really do miss not wearing my 16610. I'm hopring it will grow on me. The quality is outstanding. Anyway the thing that seams to me to be a huge contradiction in the rep world (not just here on RWI) is that with a TC sub everyone just adores it and gushes endlessly over it, but the Ginault gets an absolute battering, but surely the Ginault is just a TCV8 without Rolex on the dial?? Can anyone else see the irony in this? And I have not seen anywhere the absolute biggest advantage of the Ginault is that you can actually dive in it.... that's why I bought it, try taking a rep down to 30m!
