No. I didn't forget the good old days when I picked up a Sub rep in HK that ran on batteries. It was a novelty item then. Then the reps got real good in the past couple of years or so and our hope are high.

I do have gen Rolex'es and in my estimation they are way over priced. I collect reps for fun and am encourage that they are getting better all the time.

What I am really complain is the QC. I don't mind the rep is not a dead ringer of a gen but after putting a ETA movement and going all this length to make a 1:1 case, it seems that they would spend a few more buck to make the quality comparable to a $100 Invicta.

Really, no complains from me. Just a few comments. Life is damn good.

Here is a photo of the gen GMT ceramic on top and the rep below. Looks pretty damn good to me.

I decided to go ahead and take the plunge. I'm so impatient. I ordered one from Andrew this moring. Can't wait to get it. Now I will have to figure out what to do with my old one.

all vailid and true points.. yet, it is a safe bet, to me, that the QC is not improve.. not likely.. and the mistakes, and/or goofs, whatever.. will continue.. as will rising prices..

just the game we play

and we have zero influence on the rules.. or on the manufacturers...

is to me a 'enjoy it while you can' thingy..

at any rate, i wish you and fellow forum members

all the best!

Life is Good!

well I think its too pricy for a watch with no QC they could spend more time and effort to make it better on the small things but thay could also not do it and charge less then $400. I dont expect 1:1 from a replica but I expect a decent price

hmmm, if 'they' do have an exclusive, (not saying that they do)

it will not last long.. perhaps you might consider to email some of dealers

here (like Ruby) that take WU, moneybookers, etc..

just a thought..

:D

...I really want to see one of these. It´s a must in any collection...

Too bad local dealers here won´t even hear about it so far...
It´s even difficult to get better asian reps around. It´s a matter of luck only. Swiss ETA´s? lol Not even dreamin´ around here.. :x
...Only shitzerland mechanisms :lol:
