I saved a few from about 20+ years ago, still nos and here is what they are: Mine are '5514 COMEX' watches with new (now 'nos' Ha!) ETA 2836 movements and fair dials. The case neck where the crystal fits on the case is oem spec and the case tube threads are oem spec too. The case tubes and crowns are not oem spec other than the threads in the case. The helium escape valve is identical to oem (I compared one with a nos genuine valve). Mine have oversized rotating bezels lightly pressed down over the crystal...not same as genuine at all and the bezels are easy to remove with a blade. An oem spec crystal and bezel kit will fit the case same as genuine. The lug holes are too small for submariner type spring bars but are centered in the lugs and can be drilled out. The case is a bit 'fat' so it may need slimming down a bit and maybe some attention to the crown guards. The case back gasket is mounted in a groove cut into the case...not in the case back like a regular genuine 5513. Some genuine 5514 COMEX watches I have seen in pics had the gasket in the case. ?? A mystery of a sort. They have hollow mid link bracelets with blind screws in the removable links. Blind = no hole in the links opposite the screw head where the slot is. They have 'sidewinder' clasp caps with the coronet stamped sideways on the cap. Another mystery. All in all they would be good for a project using a better dial, (maybe), oem crystal and bez assembly, drilled lugs etc. and a fresh 21600 beat ETA. Have a couple "COMEX' 1680 too but can not remember any details about them, have not seen them in years. They all came from 'Paul' at ABAY'. Possibly before he was using the ABAY website name...it was a looong time ago. 'Paul' was A-Ok! and he sent me quite a bit of free stuff too. Old Timers will remember his 'Crazy Sales!' from back then. Times (and prices!) sure have changed. J3 is automatico.

I remember reading on the forum that the 729 was somehow infamous and just wondered if anyone could elaborate??

Yeah I found that aftermarket dial and think I'll buy one. But where can I get a quality case that looks similar to Tuna Seiko with a shroud? I wish someone made a sterile replica of the titanium once piec case that you can only service from the front. We should crowd-fund a sterile titanium case that works just like the Seiko tuna that you service from front. Can I ask what case you are going to use?

Hi, i have stumbled across this site when searching for a good quality replica watch. &nbsp Not long ago i had my Rolex Milgaus stolen from a family member. I did not want to take it any further involving criminal proceedings so unfortunately could not claim on the insurance. I absolutely loved my watch and it had some sentimental value. Unfortunately I’m not in a position to afford a genuine replacement so am looking for a like for like replica. The watch I’m looking for is a stainless steel Rolex Milgaus with black face and tinted green Saphire glass. if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated. I’m not to sure what I’m doing if I’m honest and not overly knowledgeable about watches. I have contacted Andrew from Trusty times who I found through this website. Andrew has sent me some details and how to purchase but I’m looking for some guidance so to get the best quality and price thank you

Nice!

Thanks mate. Sorry for later. I bought the case and bracelet from a guy who was selling it on RepGeek forum, while the movement is a NH35A made by TMI. I found the hands at a good price on ALI, but I had a hard time finding them with that design. Unfortunately on the GS diver you can't find anything like homage or gen. Finally I managed to find the dial (after having bought two others that I didn't like) on the DSWatch website (https://dswatchclub.com/collections/gs-style?page=4). That's it. Here are photos of the other two dials.

I have been searching incessantly for a GS diver dial, but it is not available as a replica or as a homage.... After a long time I managed to find a good quality one for my build that was finished about a week ago. Here is the result:

Hello, everyone This time I bring you a comparison of rose gold DD 228235. The factories being compared are THB, KF, JDF and ARF. We did a comparison of yellow gold DD In March. Some of the comparison content is the same since the factories involved in the comparison are the same as those. If you haven't seen this comparison, you can click the link to view it: Daydate 228238 Photographed by phone under lighting The Gen green dial is extremely difficult to replicate, as each dial has a slightly different shade of green. In comparison, the green color of JDF here is closer to the original. The rose gold color also varies significantly across different factories. KF and JDF are closer to the original rose gold, while THB and ARF's versions lean more toward a yellow gold appearance,THB being the most noticeable in this regard. Indoor natural light The color difference of the dial becomes less obvious when the light is not sufficient. The rose gold of THB and ARF will still be more yellow gold in color. Photographed by phone in the sun The dial color is still different for each one, and the green color of THB here is closer to the original. Still has the same problem for the rose gold color. Bezel view Regarding the bezel, THB's groove length and shape are closer to the original. As for JDF, there were rust spots on the bezel in this case, but it appears to be an isolated issue,previous QC checks did not reveal the same problem. The gap between the THB and KF bezels and the steel belt is the smallest. Crystal view The crystal height is basically the same as the original one, and the transparency is very good. Day window font view The color of the original calendar frame is different from the green color of the dial, and it looks like a separate component embedded in the frame. The Day window frames of the four replica factories are simply cut directly into the dial surface, and the frame color is the same as the dial color. In terms of the week font, THB and ARF are closer to the Gen. The font position of ARF is lower. Rolex coronet view ARF is more closer to gen. Markers view The gen markers have sharp, clean edges with distinct angles. Both THB and JDF's markers show slight beveling, while KF's markers are relatively more closer to the original. All three factories THB, KF, and JDF ,exhibit varying degrees of oxidation on their markers. At the 6 o'clock position (as indicated by the arrow), the original watch's markers remain perfectly aligned, whereas the replicas from other factories all have issues with level alignment or noticeable tilting. Dial font painting The printing style of the dial text and the thickness of the gold paint on ARF are closer to the Gen. The color of the gold paint shifts under different lighting angles, but overall, ARF remains the most faithful to the gen. The central axis and hands The genuine center pinion has soldering marks, and KF is the closest to the Gen in this regard. All four factories produce hands with good craftsmanship—no noticeable burrs or rough edges. Rehaut view The Gen inner bezel shows almost no horizontal brushing pattern. THB's inner bezel - in terms of both engraving and reflective quality - comes closest to the Gen. Crown view With the crown in the winding position, Gen has a slightly longer crown stem , KF crown tube is shorter. THB Rolex logo on the crown is the most three-dimensional and closest in shape to the original. Lugs view The shape of THB lug is the closest to gen. Endlink view THB and AR have the same lubrication access holes as gen. The authentic end links use a three-segment design, while JDF and KF are one-piece. THB and AR are closer to the Gen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following part is basically unchanged from the gold DD in March, so I will not introduce it in detail. For details, please refer to the comparison of gold DD in March. Back of lugs view The engraving THB on the back of the four lugs is closer to Gen. Side and back side view Bracelet view The total length of the Gen steel band is 25 sections. AR is 29 sections. KF is 25 sections. THB is 31 sections. JDF is 28 sections. Engraving of Clasp The engraving of THB is closer to the Gen. Movement view THB, KF, JDF use SH3255 movement ARF uses VR3255 movement Crystal laser logo Weight data **One link removed (Gen) Well, today's post is here, thank you guys for watching. If there are any mistakes, please correct me. If there is anything else I overlooked, you can put it up, and I will try my best to complete it. Welcome to comment and exchange! I will continue to bring you more detailed comparisons between replica watches and GEN’s. And it is also for you to choose the favorite models conveniently. Illustration: Some photos deviate from the real object due to the light source. For details, please refer to the content. The size of the comparison picture is relatively large, you can download it and enlarge it for comparison. There is no perfect replica, only the one you prefer. Thanks.

I checked their site. The quality of their items looks great but I didn't see any dials anywhere near the 600m Diver I was looking for or cases but I like the quality of the items they sell so thank you and this may be useful in the future.

Okay I will thank you. I am now wondering which case to get. But I'll check your search suggestion./

Google Seikosis. 👍🏻😃

Excellent. Whats your BoM? (parts list/source)

That looks great , 👍

Today with bracelet...

Looks like there is an aftermarket one on Ebay so I guess I'm good. Just need to find a quality case for it.

Now that the 70's Professional Seiko diver Grand daddy tunas are like 3,000 dollars, is there someone making replica dials? I actually don't mind if it's sterile but love these large huge round markers. Can I find these somewhere? I also like the vintage Dodane diver dials but doubt anyone replicates those.

It looks great!
