Hello everyone, friends! I have already created a construction magazine for this project and many have already seen this watch. But very often it happens that the improvement of the design takes place in the course of time. Thanks to good gentlemens of our forum Emilio666 and td64 I was able to change сg and сb. Case modification Silix 3646 Custom Plexi Vulcano Custom СB Gunther Lehmann Hand Adrian Movement 6497-1

Nothing wrong with that, I rather like them myself. But there is nothing worse than jumping in and buying a "Swiss made, 1:1, AAAAAplus, super deluxe model and then later finding that it is in fact none of those things and that one could have bought a much better watch for less money. There are a few watches that are of the type you describe, starting from a little over $100. The important thing is to do due diligence and know what you are getting and if you will be happy with it. Like most here I have a couple of watches that would pass with all but the very knowledgable and some that are really just novelty pieces. I'm happy with them equally because I knew what to expect before I purchased them and largely I know that by having done many evenings of reading here. Oh, and please post a wristie or evaluation when you buy something ?

With my 5513 finally in "wearable" status, I'll have a choice to make tomorrow...

If you are looking for 1:1 and Swiss movements, I urge you to do some reading on the forum so you have a better understanding of what is available and what can be done to improve it. 1:1 is a myth and Swiss movements are a total waste of money. They are invariably old movements, dirty, worn and with Chinese and used replacement parts.

Lets set some expectations here. Factories are still perfecting the Subs older case style like the latest offering from JF to the Maxi case by Noob. Second of all, these reps are quite niche so you pretty much have to take what you get as factories don't focus on them as they are not popular. The only "custom" rep watch which went into main stream rep factory status was the Project X Diver. Last time I saw some Stealth Subs were offered by Trusty. Everything looks wrong, case, bezel, dial, bracelet. I personally wouldn't waste my money. Another route is to build one if you have the funds and the patience. Good luck!

I maybe able to assist, where are you located?

A trio of classics 1. Ulysses Nardin (Gold) from 1920 2. Omega Labrador from 1896 3. IWC from 1904

The dials in my watches are 100% genuine/original/authentic 1940's Patek Philippe; champlevé enamel dials.

Hi All were originally Pocket Watches with worn out or damaged cases. I just gave these and a few others a new lease of life. With modern watches getting larger, they now seem fine at 47/48mm Smaller than a Breitling Super Avenger, same size as an IWC Big Pilot or Panerai 127 etc. Amazing movements, the IWC has been serviced and regulated and is gaining about 2-3 sec per day not bad for a movement 113 yrs old !!!!! Thanks for looking Richard

Must say that Ulysses Nardin is one great looking piece and cute movement too , IWC and OMEGA dials are uniqely beautiful. Thank you for sharing My oldies say hi

Oh dear history time...... Get yourself comfy this could take a while.... Along time ago in a Galaxy far far away there was a replica watch forum call TRC. This was a very respected forum as any of the older members will tell you but it had a more serious, sedate pace. So one day a young member from TRC called Blade decided it was time to branch out and make a new forum (RWG) When this forum started it was, like most new forums, it ran at a million miles an hour and in a very short time it dwarfed TRC in both members and daily posts One feature of RWG was a room that Blade set up for VIP members, kind of a invitation only club which a lot of this boards current and past Admin team members were a part of. So anyway the board was purring along except for a hiccup where we needed to take the dealers off the board to an offshore set up, which also lead to the start of a 3rd forum 'the Watch Trader' Then one day came the fatal mistake, it was decided that we would use our considerable standing in the rep world and get a watch called the RWG Collaborative 1 made by one of the factories This project was put together with all good intentions but despite dealers initially wanting to get aboard they also wanted to do it their way and that is not what we were paying for, then Blade step in, he had a dealer sorted to make the watch exactly to the spec's we wanted and so the money was forwarded....and then the shit hit the fan. Deadline after deadline was missed and members who had put their money up front (probably the most expensive watch of the era) were getting very antsy. Blade was at the time keeping the VIP's updated to the issues and we in turn were trying to keep a cap on it all with the members, then Blade disappeared! We spent a great deal of time trying to track Blade down, not just because of the RWG watch but because the site needed to be paid for on fast approaching date and Blade was the only one with the keys. Finally we were faced with a decision that we either build a new site and try to import as much of the current knowledge base as we could, as well as most of the members or simply letting it all go off in the ether once the domain name expired. To this end the Admin of TRC was approached and after a little convincing he agreed to set up this site and run it as our current Admin Unknown to the VIP and Admin team on RWG at the time another member set about PMing RWG members about a site that he was starting for when the board went down by the name of RWI, no point in bring up his name as he scammed a lot members and took off with much cash. So anyway we open this board about a week before the Domain name of RWG was to expire, we keep RWG as that is who we were (we slightly changed the name but same initials) and everyone comes here and we spent many hours bring over a lot of the knowledge base. Then the fateful day comes and Blade turns up, he pays the domain up for another year, sticks around for a couple of weeks and then he is off again. So at this point we have this RWG with all the members and much of the same knowledge base from when the original started up and the other RWG which was basically a ghost site. Like any ghost town the old RWG attracted the curious and before long it had a group of die hards running amok in a totally un-moderated forum. Problem was that when Blade didn't pony up the next time the old board died and being the good guys we are we gave the members from there a sanctuary while they built a new forum for themselves. And this is where it all went South, when they built that forum they insisted that they actually had more right to the name than us, based on them being the last lingerers when it died, so they called their new site RWG and right there is why we have two. A little extra history.... RG came into being after a falling out with the Admin on RWI and Wrist Check was started after a falling out with the RG guys.
