Just saw Skyfall, now I want one

[solchitlins]

Ok, I have been away from the reps for awhile. Can someone give me the gist on the planet ocean reps please.
First off does D. Craig wear the 42mm or 44mm in Skyfall?
Second who makes the best bang for your buck version?
It doesn't need to be spot on perfect but I don't want it to fall apart either. I'm very frugal.

i think he wears the 45.5 but i have no idea! i was thinking the same thing! They all make the same great Rep... you will enjoy it. just get the new version and get at least the Asian 2824. You wont regret it !

The actual model worn in Skyfall is not replicated yet. It's the latest 42mm Planet Ocean with liquid metal dial and ceramic bezel. There is talk of it being available next spring. The models worn in Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace have good reps available, those being the 45.5mm Planet Ocean on rubber strap and 42mm Planet Ocean on stainless steel bracelet respectively.

I guess I want a 42mm PO with a black dial then

Toro Bravo in the trusted dealer section. He has the 21j version at $148, or add extra for the Swiss or Asian ETA movement. I have the Asian ETA version en route to me from him now.

Do not get one of the cheaper reps. They are absolute crap in comparison.

 

[solchitlins]

so all three that you showed me are the same quality, only difference is the movt.?

 

[BaggyPants]

Yes

The 4813 movement is a 21j I believe.

 

[spdu4ia]

I thought one was a low beat and one is a high beat mvmt but I could be wrong...it's happened quite a lot before.

 

[solchitlins]

I have had cheap 21j watches fall apart on me in the past, however if the only difference truly is the movt. I think I can live with it, $100 more for the eta clone seems steep, I mean are we only talking about accuracy here or will the 21j be more prone to failure?

By fall apart I mean like numbers falling off dials, crowns pulling out, bracelet clasps problems etc...

buy one that will suit your wrist size, not cos craig wears a certain size!

 

[solchitlins]

I feel that unless straight up "Dive" watch, 42mm is a better size for 99% of us anyways, just my opinion, I have close to an 8' wrist and can wear either size, but prefer 40-43 ish watches
