Graham a couple of questions

[SMIDSY]

Are they good models? Ive seen the comparison between he swordfish and that's stunning I thought the rep was the gen. I know there's a V1 diver but what's the diff?

whats AR/Lume like?
Also what does the dial on the RHS @ 3 do?

cheers!

One thing you need to learn in the rep world is that the lume on 99.99% of the factory reps is ALL the same. Don't expect SuperLuminova lume that you can light up your room with. It's never going to happen. If you want decent lume, consider sending it for modding. Same goes for the AR although there are some quite decent AR coatings on some reps out there but nevertheless they are not even close to what Takashi, fine_dd or the other AR guys do.

 

[SMIDSY]

I know the lume will be crappy but the lume & AR on the AS I had was actually pretty decent! Ive got a BR being modded as we speak im just after info from anyone who has this rep ^-^

 

[QinetiQ]

If you think the standard rep lume is decent then you will be blown away by what modders can do

I owned this one for a while:

AR was very good, but not as good as on the Skyland and Super Avenger V3. Lume on the hands was good rep lume. Hour markers sucked.

This watch got more looks and comments than any other watch I've ever owned. Everyone wondered why I was carrying around a personal espresso machine on my wrist.

In the end, though, it was too uncomfortable; the lever poked my in the wrist.

OK but what does the marker at 3 do?

 

[trksh-bzr]

wow, finally a watch that makes espresso. makes sense, now that everyone is checking time on their phone.. does this one come with a sweet n low dispenser?

 

[AllergyDoc]

OK but what does the marker at 3 do?

It tallies the hours when the chronometer is activated. All the white lumed parts lumed. The orange lumed parts didn't, or did very poorly.

trksh-bzr: No. Haven't you heard it's linked to cancer? :lol: (If you eat 5,000 packets a day for a year.)

 

[SMIDSY]

cheers guys one last thing V1/V2 difference?

 

[AllergyDoc]

I dunno. Lost interest in them.

Guy on RWG.CC is selling one:

[SMIDSY]

oooh ty going after it!

I have the Chronofighter Commander, and love it!!! I got it from Hont and have had no issues. I find it very comfortable to wear since all the "knobs" are on the left side (including the granade pin looking thing). I think AR and lume are about average for a rep. I've had mine for six months of pretty regular use and there a few faint scratches on the AR finish.
Looking at your wrist with this contraption takes a little getting used to; but you won't want to take it off once you do!! Wear it with a long sleeve shirt to minimize the impact of the chrono controls.

 

[SMIDSY]

TY =)

It tallies the hours when the chronometer is activated. All the white lumed parts lumed. The orange lumed parts didn't, or did very poorly.

The subdial @ 3 is seconds and runs all the time. The lume on my v1 is above rep standard too. The orange needs help but the hands are amazing. I can see them glow even when I'm standing outside in direct sunlight. I suppose it's a happy accident.

You can see in this pic (hack, multi-second exposure) that the orange is pretty weak even when staged for a photo. Same goes for the orange on the second hand subdial (which for some reason glows green), but the hands are bright. I haven't experimented much to see how long it lasts but it charges quickly and, at least initially, the hands are very luminous.

Cheers!

Mine is a V1...but relumed and some paints...

Graham Reps

I own 2 Graham Reps and I got them from King (Connie). They were the best compared to the originals I have ever seen. My job sold them, so I could not help but compare mine to the OG..one of the salesmen could not tell the difference! The funny thing is he picked the Rep of the swordfish (black and orange right hand version) as the real one! Every time I wear it, I get compliments. I admit the lume..not great. But the detail on it is stunning.

 

[SMIDSY]

very very cool; anyone want to sell me one.


Also V1/V2 whats the diff?!

 

[deloreandmc]

the lever on the so called "espesso machine" is usually loose, probably will need some modding

 

[SMIDSY]

and not on V2?
