Beachcomber is known for useless things like contributing to frankenbuilds, identifying quality parts and insight with regard to our builds and community and being an all around great guy. You're right though, he's totally useless for telling which one of your douchebag bracelet wearing friends is rockin' a replica. Contribute something useful here or get lost.

valjoux 72 in an unknown case,much thinner than dw and serial number is from ref 6239 (says rolex genf) dial unknown,but very great print

What made me buy it back then was its clean understated look. Then someone explained that it basically is an Explorer with an Air King face and I was in heaven I even found a gen "3 6 9 super precision " dial but the seller was a tad too greedy so I laid down and avoided. I briefly considered going rep and buy a super precision dial from Minh, then I was cautioned about the risk of an incompatibility between dial and case; chiefly in regard to diameter, pinion hole and position of the feet. Since Minh's piece was surely not free either I just let this one go too. Now I'm glad I did and, apparently so is the AD which has proposed to buy it back. sent forn mungalaxy jote 3 usong tapatalk and this crappy onsc4een keyolboars

Thanks a lot. I bought this on a whim a couple of years ago, and paid a very fair price for it, just to discover later on that this particular reference is quite rare. The kind of things that do not happen very often. sent forn mungalaxy jote 3 usong tapatalk and this crappy onsc4een keyolboars

Funniest thread I've read in ages. Anal beads - I'm crying with laughter, or is it the pain of trying some out? Either way it brought tears to my eyes

Yes they are lovely and gen like in appearance as everyone is saying! I wish he made them with blue lume in the LV version to fit Subc models etc!

Must be nice to have a Bridgeport in the basement!

LOL, thanks. I feel much better now. That was a fun start to the morning. He he. [emoji1]

For me also Audemars Piguet for today!

WOW!! You are asking about a books worth of questions right off the bat. First off, both of those sites you linked to are scam sites. You will pay those people big dollars and get a 50 USD junk street vendor quality watch, if you get a watch at all. If you want a replica, take mine and most everyone here's advice, buy from a trusted dealer on this or the other reputable Replica sites, RWI, RepGeek, or RWG.bz. If you want to donate your money, I can send you my PayPal address and you can send it to me. I'll put you on my Christmas card list and at least you will get a nice card every Christmas!! My advice to you sir, is before you buy any replicas, you need to do a lot of reading and research. There are lots of discussions here that will answer your questions. Here is my take on buying replicas and movements. The simpler the watch and movement the better chance it will be reliable. that is not a 100% guarantee, because these are replicas, and most of the movements are replica movements, which means that they are copies of ETA Swiss movements, they are not ETA Swiss movements. So if you buy say a Hublot replica with a copy of the ETA 2824 or 2836 movement it should be OK, As you go further up the line of complications, the more likely they are going to be troublesome. So the next in line would be a chronograph model which uses the A7750 movement. If you buy a chronograph with the seconds dial/hand at the 9 o'clock position, commonly referred to sec@9 , that is the normal position for the 7750 seconds hand, it should be OK as well. You will not get and ETA 7750 movement in any rep watch today. No matter what those scam sites tell you. ETA 7750 movements are hard to get and the price is more that 300 USD for a movement, so the rep manufacturers are not going to put a 300 USD movement in a 500 USD watch! So the next step up the line are chronographs with the seconds hand in a different position. These would be the Rolex Daytonas with the seconds at 6 (Sec@6) and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore (AP ROO) models with the seconds at 12 (sec@12) . These are what we commonly refer to as "time bomb" movements because they have a history of problems. Some people say that they have had several watches with these movements with no problems, but personally, I have 5 AP ROO's, and three of them have been trouble free, and the other two have been nightmares. So, personally, until you get a little more experience with replica watches, and get to know people who can repair your watch if it breaks, I would stay away from these movements. Stick to the simple non chronograph movements or the watches that have the A7750 movement but the seconds hand is in the correct position (Sec@9) AFA tourbillion movements, I have no experience, never owned one, and I don't know of a single rep repair person who will work on these movements. I believe that Seagull makes a pretty reliable Tourbillion movement, but I don't think it is used in rep watches unless it's the really high end ones that are around 1k. Another problem with these, most of these watches sell for a couple of hundred thousand dollars, so are you able to pull one of those off. all it takes is one of your buddies to see your watch, Google Hublot Tourbillion, and partner, your busted!!! So unless you are driving a Ferrari or equivalent, or just flew in on your private jet, I would stay away from watches like the tourbillion.

Alright guys this is not RWG bz let's not do a roast here (they are very funny at it there !) give the guy chance to get over his mistake.

Unlike the gen forums, all - serious watch aficionados - are welcome here. As has been said, you will find many fakes, frankens, reps and genuine watches here. As long as you have a passion for timepieces, you are welcome.

Thanks. I usually take pics of my watches at red lights on the way to work. Find lighting is best around 8-9am in the shade. Anyhow you have the best long 5 insert I have ever seen.
