made the mistake of buying one in chinatown, new york, a few months ago and it works as well as my 1977 ford pinto...minus the catching on fire, of course :lol:

Purchased one from Josh, and it arrived quickly, packaging was very nice, and the watch itself has drawn MANY compliments every time I wear it.
Only challenge...the rep strap is crap. Feels like rawhide, but can't expect much better for a rep. Invest in a nicer croc strap for it, and you'll wear it all the time. Dresses up with a suit or down with jeans. GREAT choice.

yeah, the lemon i ended up with also had a crappy strap on it. so would any strap word with the funny deployant on this watch? any suggestions on where to get a nice one?
also, do you have a link for josh's?
thanks a lot!
Nice watch, but Josh's dial is the wrong one!!! It has waves on it, the gen one is just plain... Besides that it's ok.
You must have been unlucky (or whomever got the wavy lines version was), but mine is solid white on the dial. Josh's is a great rep!
I have 2 - splurge on the better eta version. The posts above are right on - the straps are crap, but the eta version is a little better.
No worries on the waves - no one would ever hold your rep up against a gen and ask, why are there waves in the dial? I have 'waves' and no waves, both are very very nice.
If anyone finds a source for the strap, please let me know. I may check w Ruby on just a strap if thats possible. My new butterfly clasp doesnt even stay closed.

I thought SF chinatown was big enough to carry reps but i can't find a darn one. Just crappo 5 dollar look a likes.
I have a cart auto galbee rep... some things are off (like thin font and a slew of others) - but anyone other than an AD just thinks it's a real cart. Even told someone it was a fake and they thought i was lying.
I could have sworn i saw Ruby carry some santos 100 and thinking they looked great
