Pseudonym 0 Posted January 12, 2014 The big question is...... will the members of this forum be looking down their nose at me buying reps of their fabled rep pieces Each to their own mate. The only qualm I have is buying off pre-order. I'd rather see some decent pics and maybe a review. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgoorn 0 Posted January 12, 2014 God I hate ROOs, hideous monstrosities! Even Genta himself thought so, as some junior designer had bastardised his beautiful design! That's enough ROO bashing, lol, it better be a phenomenally good rep for that price!!! DC Exactly. I totally agree. But let's keep our ranting to the nice patek sanctuary.

splking 0 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Is it me or is the Noob version of the ROO in black defective. On the video it appears the dial @ 6 does not reset to the 12 marker when he starts/stops the chrono and it's not in the correct position in the first place. At first I thought he had just started the stopwatch, stopped it and not reset, but after viewing the short clip it appears thats not the case. Not very confidence inspiring if you ask me. I am leaning towards the forged carbon rep dare I say it, punchy, but the exchange rate is helpng :-P H http://www.pureti.me/product/pre-order-royal-oak-offshore-44mm-dlc-noob-11-best-edition-a7750/ Edited January 13, 2014 by splking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrenches&watches 0 Posted January 14, 2014 Defective chronos and blue screws on a poorly decorated movement... Bitch please! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pseudonym 0 Posted January 14, 2014 I promised myself I wouldn't get too excited about this rep, and I'd be sensible... Having seen this thread develope it really has made me think twice about ordering before general release. But I'm gonna stick to my guns and wait. That movement is particularly poor- come on makers! Get it sorted and get it decorated to look even a little more presentable! Even just change the damn blue screws!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khronos 1,339 Posted January 15, 2014 These prices are taking the one of the most important variables out of equation...they're trying us out and if we fall into this trap, we're screwed in the future. I could never look at myself in the mirror without feeling like a fucktard if I ever bought any kind of rep for 800$, when I can buy this: http://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/TRITON-100-ATM-black,258.html instead. I mean, just look at the specifications and the lume!! Rep factories are pushing it, there are over 50000 members over here only and they smell the fresh blood, but they're forgetting that most of these guys join this great comunity because they want to enjoy the designs they admire for a REASONABLE price and some of us just because we could never afford a gen Breitling or an Omega...

Nothing will ever make me feel like a f...tard though .... Might I be. "One chip short of a Happy meal"..... possibly I gotta agree with you there, much as I still maintain my deep seated hatred for the Offshores, I'd spend $800 on a rep of a Patek that I truly loved if it was a really good quality rep. I've seen plenty of people spend that much modding or buying a modded Submariner and they are one of the more attainable gens (for someone with a spare $800 to waste on a rep perhaps)!! What I certainly wouldn't do is buy that fuck ugly Steinhart, for any money!!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James. 4 Posted January 17, 2014 I really do hope they do something with that movement... Few gens as reference: If someone can't tell it's a rep after examining the dial, DW placement etc and need to look at the movement, I doubt they're savvy enough to even notice that the movement is obviously rep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted January 17, 2014 I also have to say i'm super disappointed these have the raised "ring" around the DW. Well, I wasn't going to get one anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrenches&watches 0 Posted January 17, 2014 Agreeing with DC, that Steinhardt is child's play. Looks like it would adorn the wrist of a desperate wanna be at the club, dressed head to toe in oversized orange clothing because he says he spent time locked up and got use to the color.

SMP_from_RWI 0 Posted January 17, 2014 what about this steinhart, does it look same child play ? It's a really nice hommage to heritage chrono with a nice effort on decorating the 7750 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrenches&watches 0 Posted January 17, 2014 Nope, that one has a nice Carrera feel. Don't get me wrong about Steinhart, I have seen nice IWC homages and a sweet bronzo but the one linked is just not for me. Looked like a beloved gen in this forum that I won't dare slander, starts with an S as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Few gens as reference: If someone can't tell it's a rep after examining the dial, DW placement etc and need to look at the movement, I doubt they're savvy enough to even notice that the movement is obviously rep I was thinking more along the lines of personal enjoyment as I agree with your points completely... Let's take the clone P3000... It's beautiful to look at. As an engineer, I love the beauty in a movement- seeing all the pieces doing their job. Working along in perfect equilibrium with a common goal... Ok ok, that's a bit frilly to describe the mechanics of movement, but you get my point... The A7750 favours function over form in a sense and isn't the prettiest to see through a case back. Even if they changed the damn screws from blue would be a marked improvement... At the $800 for one of these I expect super rep quality right out the box. I don't think we as the masses should then have to mod it to make it so... Just a silly man's askew perspective of how he sees things. P. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANDMAN.ELLIPSIS 0 Posted January 18, 2014 Not that anyone here seems to be buying the 44... but Angus just sent out a message confirming the 44's will definitely be going out before CNY... The RG is available as well.... just order the DLC and drop a note stating RG.... Bit of a risk as no pics up at all..... ... just FYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pure B 0 Posted January 18, 2014 A friend of mine wants to buy the RG version, any idea when there will be pictures availlable Andman? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANDMAN.ELLIPSIS 0 Posted January 18, 2014 A friend of mine wants to buy the RG version, any idea when there will be pictures availlable Andman? I don't think there will be pics on PT's website any day soon... so If he wants one before CNY he will have to take a punt and get a good idea of the product from the pics of the three on the website.... or just wait till mid Feb it looks like the stock will come in and be shipped straight out within a day.... If he does want to order.. at best he has a day or two left to make his mind up.. Info courtesy of .. Sharrkey RWI I will of course only be reassured once I get my PC's and my FC and SS have been shipped... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myaz 3 Posted January 18, 2014 $800 rep = regret How true....one becomes pickier in proportion to the price, and that's quite a lofty price. Way beyond my comfort zone for rep prices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
