Hi friend
You surely have got a nice and good watch. It is really gorgeous.
I have no doubts about that.
But we are here talking about accurate replicas just like gen.
This is the purpose of this PAM Section and every Brand Section in this forum.
This is a hooby and the main goal of this hobby is to get replicas as similar as gen as possible. Not to get nice watches.
No need of reviews or guides to buy nice watches, you can get a nice watch following your taste.
You should not say "Ignore the anal complaints...." because many people here are looking for these anal complaints and many members are analyzing flaws to share them here. You are just also IGNORING these interesting jobs.
Anyway if you have got this watch and you are happy with it, ENJOY your watch and be more happy.
Or are you just regretful for the inaccurate rep purchase and want to justify it?
I hope this is not the case and you are really enjoying your awesome replica WATCH.
Please don't get bothered for above comments you have done exactly the same with our works.
ALE
Ale, I hear you, and definitely agree with some of your feelings for sure. To me the original poster wants our "thoughts" though, not just a highly critical super-rep analysis.
He wants our overall opinions of living with it, and as one of the few owners of the watch on this board who has enjoyed it, I feel it definitely gets an unfair bad rap in every single thread about it due to a few slight flaws...which are similar to flaws that get overlooked on the more popular models on the board.
I would argue that even the holy 111 super-rep, which has several movement flaws, gets big love in every thread always despite those flaws...yet in every 399 thread the negativity comes out in force, right away within three posts, from people who have never seen or held or owned the watch.
RWI member cwazy also feels the same way as a 399 owner himself, it just seems that the anti-399 sentiment in every thread on the watch is unjustified versus reality to those of us who have had a chance to spend time with it, and for whatever reason this watch is held to a higher standard versus other more popular watches that get a free pass.
I will say for the original poster again that my thoughts are that this is an excellent rep, with excellent wrist presence, and a gorgeous look that attracts crazy attention. It's just my opinion, but you asked for opinions, thus my response.
Money and cost has nothing to do with my analysis here, I can't comment on whether it's a value or not for the price, because to me all reps are super cheap versus the gens I used to collect.
They're all a bargain to me really, regardless if they're $200 or $600. There isn't much of a difference between those two prices from my view because the value for quality reps is all high. I'm just happy that the rep industry has gotten so good the last few years, we can all enjoy collecting and wearing so many different great models.
