DallasGTA 3 Posted January 4, 2018 Hello and Happy New Year. It has been just over a week since I asked for everyone’s opinion on the Jacob & Co Grand (see here: The consensus was an overwhelming (or emphatic) nay. I appreciate you providing me with your opinions and I enjoyed reading your comments. So now I am coming to you with another watch from the Jacob & Co line. It’s the rep of the Epic I. So... what do you think? Is this quartz rep better than the previous Grand model? Do you give it a yay or a nay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RepGuy 108 Posted January 4, 2018 That's horribly ugly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deju 1,889 Posted January 4, 2018 The Gen is an expensive monstrosity, that only has the fact that it is finished to a very high standard going for it. The rep just looks like a cheaply finished kids toy watch, sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted January 4, 2018 I think I just caught a very bad case of eye cancer. And puked in my mouth a little. Where the f&$k do you find this crap? Looks like some toy watch from a vending machine. What's wrong with good ol' Omegas, PAMs and Rolies? Or you feel the urge to be special? Get a bloody Franck Mueller if you have to, but this.. Seriously? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DallasGTA 3 Posted January 4, 2018 Lol. Khronos - I do have a few PAMs and Rolies in my standard collection, but you're right about me wanting something a little different/special. From your comment, I guess this won't be it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deju 1,889 Posted January 4, 2018 Buy some of the following these are all interesting and of decent quality : Richard Mille Reps Franck Muller Reps Graham Reps My favourite is my Uboat u51 Chimera Rep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted January 4, 2018 Uhm, OK. I'd recommend this one, if you'd like something different, it's really a well made watch: https://puretime05.com/watch-brands/franck-muller/vanguard-v45-rg-tf-1-1-best-edition-gray-dial-rg-inner-bezel-on-brown-gummy-strap-a2892.html or this, it's a super rep: https://puretime05.com/watch-brands/bvlgari/diagono/diagono-magnesium-pvd-gf-1-1-gray-textured-dial-on-black-rubber-strap-miyota-9015.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaude 1,615 Posted January 4, 2018 At first I was like : yay why not if this is your style, at least this is not as bad of rep job as the previous. Then I saw deju posting the pic of the real deal... thanks to you deju now I can say : stay away from the rep maker of those Jacob & Co, he has eyes issue ! Big nay again !

I'm not too keen on the FM Vanguard, but what are your thoughts on the FM Vegas or Crazy Hours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A valid point, but I do care what my fellow rep enthusiasts think about watches I am considering. I am by no means an expert. If that's strange, then I am strange.
