Species 0 Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Received this today and put into a bandr sharkskin. This is one of the only BR "super reps", and the watch does look it. It came with the full box / tools / extra nylon strap and manual. I think it looks pretty slick in the sharkskin... Interestingly - probably because I'm digging much larger watches at the moment - it's not really spinning my wheels the same way the PAM and BR01-92 are right now. So even though this is by far the most accurate rep I have, this is probably either going to be sold or given as a very special present to a certain younger brother... Apparently I have that magical combination of a thick skull and a burning desire to have just a few too many watches. Looks great though - even with a phone camera. I will upgrade to a real camera shortly. Edited June 2, 2013 by Species Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Species 0 Posted June 2, 2013 How's the functionality on the digi displays? Dead on with the gen. I actually downloaded the manual from the B&R site and used it to program the watch. It's exactly the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arism 26 Posted June 2, 2013 Great looking watch. Been on my list for a long time. @hhawhp - Any dealer can get you one; though from the thread title, I believe this one is from TrustyTime. It uses the same movement as gen, so it has all the functions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted June 2, 2013 Probably the closest to gen of all the B&R reps. Nice pickup! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSTEEL 0 Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) How much is this rep then? To the OP, first dibs? Edited June 2, 2013 by SSTEEL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Species 0 Posted June 2, 2013 I paid $608 for the watch from Andrew at TT, making this one of the more expensive reps out there. But there is no question it is nice, and the sharkskin really takes it to a new level. Like I said, it's pretty slick. IDK - the pendulum swings for me from smaller to larger watches and then back. Right now, I'm just in that larger watch phase... eh, just comes down to taste at any specific time I guess. I suppose I'll move to sell it - or otherwise it will go as a really really really nice present to my brother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mpower1226 0 Posted December 2, 2013 Found it, it was from TT. One thing I am not clear is that this comes with nice boxsets and waht not, but is nylon strap included along with regular rubber straps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trksh-bzr 3 Posted December 2, 2013 that's definately a nice pickup! congrats I have wanted it since I saw Hont post it many moons back. I actually really really want it now. ugh.. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gsiguy 0 Posted December 4, 2013 Hi, i just picked one up too. Unfortunately, mine came with the minute hand flailing around within the case... Now having not read the manual, the watchsmith i went to could not align the hands properly (as i think you set the hands via the digital output right?). So i will need to go back, read the manual and try to learn how to set the time to 12 o'clock so that the hands can be aligned. Btw, as the watch came to me with the minute hand off the assembly, after the 'smith attached it, i noticed that the minute hand jumps. Is that correct for this quartz movement?

snowykim 0 Posted February 9, 2014 I have a gen. Minute hand jumps half of a minute after every 30 seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
