BadApple 13,081 Posted November 23, 2019 I do like the white - I have contemplated the white PP factory one - it's expensive so I will see what these come out at. At the moment I have an IRF Airking on the way which fulfills my requirement for such a type which can be "passed off" unlike a Gen PP being at over $30k I would see these as a dress watch especially the rose gold one and my dress watch slot is being filled this week with a PAM519 (one of the last available) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intresting 21,712 Posted November 23, 2019 Think the previous White PPF made it to the NWBIG list. I hear you. Its one thing affording a 30k PP rep. You need a 911, or at least a 330i to keep the play going, and they don't make those in rep.... Do they still make the 319? Its a really nice one. But won;t the yellow gold, or any wrapped or plated gold, be quite fragile and rub off easily, especially round the edges? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
automatico 4 Posted November 23, 2019 Good looking watches. If a replica Naut this good can be made and sold for a few hundred $$, imagine how much profit there is in a genuine example...a LOT of $$ would be my guess. Many will say the movement 'cost a fortune to make' but I really doubt it myself, maybe $2000 USD or so (they have a gold winding rotor weight after all), and another $1000 or $1500 for the case, dial, and bracelet. Oh yeah, add another $200 for the b/p etc. "You need a 911, or at least a 330i to keep the play going, and they don't make those in rep...." Like the man said, you will not get busted wearing one of these watches because the watch will not pass muster...you'll get busted because you do not have the 'accessories' that go with them. Btw...the main problem with high priced swiss watches from the brand owner's perspective is not how much it takes to make them, the problem is convincing suckas to keep buying them. Imho.

GingerApple 7,304 Posted November 23, 2019 I've got the v1 white and it's awesome. That blue dial v2 looks a lot more Gen like than the blue v1. Are you getting this from a thread next door @Interesting? If so, do you have the link? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The numbers are not as sharp as the gen. that’s the only thing I’ve spotted. Will do a piccie review when it lands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why we have boffin repositories like you. But yes, the non TD links confirm there is a white face. Now I see there is even a recent M2M blue faced sale next door for $470.

There was a thread next door too because I started it - I can't remember what the complaints about the rep were, but there was something 'fatal' according to the OCD types. Personally I think it's gorgeous, though I prefer the steel version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
