Crepas Scuba 500 - First Production Photos

DEMO · Post by **DEMO** » Sat Jul 04, 2015 8:56 am

I am on the preorder for the new Crepas Scuba 500. Ana emailed that the production watches are ready and they will be inspected and start shipping next week. These look like they turned out extremely nice. Can't wait for this one to arrive. Wow, these look good!

Here are some of the first photos of the new production Scuba 500. (photos courtesy of Crepas).

That turned out nice. It's a shame they made so few.

I'm looking forward to this one too. I'm on the fence about the mesh. I'm not usually a mesh guy (my wife tells me mesh bracelets look like her Tiffany's jewelry), but this one looks pretty good.

I have an orange ISO waiting for this one which is likely how I'll wear it this summer. I'll decide on the mesh once some real world photos come in.

I ordered the optional Crepas mesh. IMO, this one looks exceptionally good on the mesh.

That's a great looking piece and a bargain at the original price. I'm kicking myself for missing it.

Wow really nice piece for a lot less than I thought it would be. I can see why it sold out first day.

Great watch!
Their preorder process and quantity sucks

I wish I had grabbed one

Where do you guys learn about their new pre-orders? Is it from the Spanish forums? I ve missed out on many of their watches because I never know about them and its always too late when I find out. Its getting to the point that its actually annoying. They really should increase production too but I can see capital could be a limitation.

Haven't had one before but it looks like they put out a good product. I never know about the new releases until after the fact. Love the colored bezel pip.

I think I saw this one first on WUS. They also have a Facebook page where they make announcements.

My rule with CREPAS is if I am even somewhat interested I hit the "buy" button. "He who hesitates is lost" is a true saying with this brand.

They do such a great job with their watches.
That one in particular is a beauty.

I love my tektite but that's a great looking piece. Congrats on getting in on the preorder.

Love it. Retro cool with what appears as good build quality.
