There has been som problms with both TapaTalk and Forumrunner for the last couple of days. I have fixed the problems now, but it could still take a couple of hours before everything is working 100%.

The link won't come up for me- this webpage does not exist.. But basically I agree with highoey, although the red sub with the 2846-2 could be lightly modded into a very nice rep http://www.1-pc8838.com/rlsv01015-vintage-1680-subalternative-swiss-2846-p-8531.html But no one's going to put a real red dial in a rep like this- the cost of a real red dial would be outrageous and that leaves an NDT, or possibly an Ingod44 dial. A gen crown and tube is no big deal and an insert is maybe $100. So you could end up with a very nice rep for $500 or so. If you were to go with a 1570 movement and a gen white dial, you would need to get a better case.

So they don't shit in the woods.... Hmmmmm

Pete I agree with you, but by looking at the absolute minute detail of every genuine in order to fully understand the rep I think it gives one a full respect and admiration for the brand (or in the case of some watch bands you see how much you are paying for crap!!). It takes no time to buy a gen, as long as money is not an issue, but a great rep takes research and a true understanding of horology! (and a huge bag of patience and faith).

My Mum wrote it on my behalf

If I am honest the first rep I bought was to make out it was a gen as I couldnt afford one..... How I thought anyone would think it was gen now amazes me and it didnt last that long anyway!! Years later after owning gens I wandered across this site and realised how good reps had become.... then I bought a few and started to get more into all the different brands the quality and accuracy or not as the case maybe... What I then found was a really great extension of enjoying watches was creating my own watches based on gens that I couldnt buy or didnt want to sell my car to buy !! I found this so much fun and found it introduced me to so many great guys here which in turn led to friendships which I value very highly... I think now I still really enjoy reps... I prefer putting them together and enjoying the search for parts etc and the people it puts me into contact with...but above all I stay around reps to stay around here and enjoy the community, the guys on here and the info it brings... It takes many kinds to make such a great forum and its because of that... we all have different wants from this hobby....

i would say all of the above. also the ratio of 10+ reps to the price of one gen helps the decision. i have a few gens, but no matter what i always want more!!!!!!!!! the addiction is terrible!!

A picture is worth 1,000 words. How many of us would love to do this to a gen Rolex?

MBK is the name of a shopping mall ,, it translates to "The Mall of Everything" Na Piek is the store in MBK shopping mall which sells "MBK vintage rolex" reps ... known for their 1:1 fitment. MBW is "Maria's Best Watch" .. where Maria is a man, not a woman.
