New Year wrist check - 26th December 2016

Recommended Posts

Congrats- those Ashford sales were great this year. For $600-700, can't go wrong with these Gens. I paid about $350

 

for the rep and it had movement problems when I got it. Still I'm not crying because it has a Miyota 9015 which is a good movement in a rep.

 

I have to say that the list prices for the Gens are a bit ridiculous- not worth $3500- 4500 for simple SW 3 handedwatch IMO.

I tend to agree with you, they are probably safely priced in the $1000-1200 range or so. The cheapest I saw the one I bought was $999 on ebay and almost jumped on that one. They were still about $1200 at Ashford. A couple days after Christmas, this model showed up at $699 on Ashford and I figured it was now or never at this price. Sold my gen crystal/gen insert TC and decided to pull the trigger on this one in about a 2 hour window :lol: Kind of surprised they claim 100m water resistance with a non-screw down crown. Doesn't matter though, none of my watches (including my gen Seawolf) see water anyways.

For the eve of New Year's Eve, this "Swiss Made" INVICTA Grand Diver GMT (Model 5127) I purchased from WUS, I believe, quite a while ago. I popped off the case back, and sure enough: Swiss Ronda movement; I can't vouch for the rest of the watch, but it IS a beauty & shows me some of the fine stuff INVICTA is capable of making. Big, heavy (@ 182 grams), it looks and feels nice on the wrist. dave:

Thanks, Dave. Like I said, I'd never heard of the brand until NFleischer posted his rep Aquascope and that got me digging. I've wanted one of these for months and everything lined up a couple days after Christmas. I love it, just need the tan distressed strap and It'll be complete :)

Stunning car and watch! For how long have you had that now? Because the gold doesn't seem to have any wear at all!

In honor or Jean Richard week; this 8 year old Gen Chronoscope. I am happy if my Aquascope rep has inspired interest in the brand.

 

As Tudor is to Rolex, JR is little brother of Girard Perregaux. The company's main shareholder is Kering which also owns Ulysse Nardin as well some upscale fashion lines like Stella McCarthy.
