It's supposed to be a list and then you put a recommendation to add to that list with a link to the thread that discusses/reviews it to be worthy of inclusion. Unfortunately it became peppered with watch discussions on the thread itself (imagine discussion on 3-5 different watches concurrently running on one thread) or questions that would have been better served on the respective brand section.

This type of thing is just impossible with reps. Too many versions and factories. Best thing to do is post reviews when you buy them and people can read as needed Share this post Link to post
MetalMickey 179 Posted January 22, 2018 The trouble with these super reps.is they are only available for a short time then they disappear. The time to buy is just after they come out. For example now TC has given up the fact his 16610 is the best is irrelevant as you can't get one! Share this post Link to post

Updating the list is certainly a chore, but as the OP happily takes it upon himself to do it, I'm sure there are those who appreciate the effort. I'm not even half finished with the PAM Reference Guide update, and that's only PAMs (granted there are short reviews in it for each model/factory with links to much more detail if you're into that sort of stuff) . 8 minutes ago, metalmickey said: The trouble with these super reps.is they are only available for a short time then they disappear.

Well, it's not meant to be a stock inventory type of thread (God forbid if anyone should expect that). At least when a TC comes up for sale and the noobie that happens to read the ad has no idea how good that is can look at the list and find out it is a super rep (and probably should buy). Also not every super rep is in there. For example the Paul Picot Le Plongeur or the various Graham Oversize watches or the Ferrari PAMs aren't in that list.

Hunklee 0 Posted January 23, 2018 Hi you may remove Pam390 from the list as although it's a super rep, it's no longer available for ordering. Nil stocks from all the TDs I asked. Share this post Link to post

Nil stocks from all the TDs I asked. Like I said, it's not a stock inventory list. The fact that it's no longer available at the TDs doesn't mean it's no longer a super rep. Availability isn't a factor in classification. Share this post Link to post
Hunklee 0 Posted January 23, 2018 For learning purposes, why do we keep a model in the list despite its unavailability? Unless this works as a historical archive, I believe availability is a practical consideration. Share this post Link to post

If you seriously believe it is a consideration, you can certainly create your own list factoring in availability. Easy enough to do eh? Share this post Link to post

Do you really think it's helpful to have different lists for NWBIGs instead of combining useful information on a single comprehensive listing? Information is already scattered as it is.

Information is already scattered as it is. Don't add to that please. You misunderstood. I'm not adding to that. YOU are. But I'm sure @Omagad would happily stop his thread if you were to create the new and improved thread with availability factored in, updating whenever a model pops out of stock and pops back in, real time (well okay we give you 24 hours because you have to sleep). But of course still staying true to the intent of the thread which is to add models which are judged as NWBIG after reading all of the comment/reviews (you can't just add one because a member chimed "The XXXX should be included because I think it is the best.") And do all of this on your own time, without any compensation except for the adulation of the teeming masses who will gratefully take the information and stop to thank you for posting it (NOT). So henceforth, there would only be one thread, yours. No other thread would be allowed to survive as your NWBIG thread would simply be the Supreme Thread of Everything That is Holy AND Available, Real Time. So when do you release the thread? Tomorrow? Because the thread is already there, you just have to factor in availability, right? Simple enough? No? Because you're too busy? Or you're one of those types?

I am very happy to hear that your PAM Guide update is at least half finished And I think it’s ok that in such lists are Reps mentioned which are not produced at the moment, because they can be produced later in a new batch or I can get it M2M.

solitudex 0 Posted January 24, 2018 Thanks again for the list, OP. Most of us from both forums appreciate this immensely. As in the larger world, there would always be a couple of toxic individuals who have nothing better to contribute than to disparage the work of others. Such are best left alone to their miserable existence. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the expansion of the list, as the factories (hopefully) improve on their offerings!
