JohnCocktoastin 0 Posted September 12, 2018 Damn! I like this soo much better than my SMP 300. Me wantee. I'd wanted to grab VSF's rep but it looks like they got the bracelet wrong. Also the TD's seem to claim the movement is an 8800 clone but the pics show it's an A2836. Guess with that price and the demand it might take a while before they can get a gen to model the rep.

Also Agreed on the clone movement, though the decoration plates aren't half bad. Trying not to expect too much though LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only TD I've seen with pics of it on the bracelet is Josh, and on his site the width on the middle row looks too narrow. But maybe it's the angle of the pics? I love the details on the dial and bezel, and I wouldn't mind an A2836, but I'd rather wait if they're not not too far from a clone 8800 movement like they did with the 8500.

I see now, the middle link and the two jubilee links shouldn't be the same size. Disappointing they can't get this right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,350 Posted September 14, 2018 Very cool piece, but I feel that over time it won't hold up to the classic SMP. Everything is just a bit over the top, dial, indices, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McGilli 1 Posted September 14, 2018 Nice photos of that watch, even if it's not yours, that's a fantastic piece. I spent a little $ on a genuine watch recently - and I've noticed now my ... my.. .what's the word... acceptance of paying more $ for a great watch has been expanded. So, looking at your photos, and then seeing the price, I was like hmmmmmm.... Would I pay that much for a genuine of that if I could? And I didn't run away... It's really nice....
