288k was the game-changer of the year I think. it almost came out of nowhere.
all of a sudden... BAM! here's the closest 1:1 panerai rep ever, hands down, and
actually worthy almost of being called 1:1. if they would have put a 7753 in it, it
could have probably been called 1:1. superlume from the factory, correct AR, they
really listened.
the V5 Hublot factory was basically a big let down. they made a nice ceramic all
black bracelet, but their watches are not what we were expecting. the V1 factory
on the other hand... they just cut their prices by more than half for a very comparable
lite version of several of their watches, so good on them.
the 111j and the 177l are both very nice, actually incredible for the cost.
the ploprof made a pretty big splash when it landed, and the newest po a bit too.
