Incredible pics, my friend. Very well done. The watches are gens?

Wow...that's nice!
Mind if I ask which dealer you got it from and the price?
All the mainstream delaers carry this. This is from Joshua, less than 300$

This is an incredible well built replica. It really has the gen feeling...
This piece is for a friend, I'll buy the black for me when/if available in the future because now is out of stock.
-
Looking at the gen "drawing" and picture I've noticed that the neddles are fatter and angled in the gen. The general impression if the gen is of a fatter aspect, perhaps the becel is wider so the dial gets a little smaller. Another difference is that above every roman number there is a 3 small tickers in the minutes scale and the rep is 1 bolder ticker.
Nevetheless, is very well cosntructed and finished and feels 90% gen. It's not heavy to wear.

Your photos are breathtaking, nice job
OK, not to rain on your post but, what's are the flaws of this replica?
Something weird going on with the diameter of the dial, the rehaut, retainer ring which you can see...just not a very clean presentation.
Are they using a too small dial?
Sorry, sir. It should be my poor english but I don

This one from Joshua, the expensive one, not the asian 21J at 108$. This is truly 41mm, so the other post I did about another DDII from watcheden I must say it's not of a 41 mm watch. Perhaps 38mm. With this, I must report quite a number of "incidents" in transactions with watcheden. I've writem to them and I'm still waiting some answer.
Going back to the watch. This one is a real beauty and, perhaps, a little excentric with the blue colors and the size, but I find it very elegant. I really like it. Perhaps the one I like more of the twelve I've bought this year. Everything is fine except when screwing down the crown. The taste is not good because the o-ring is extremely short.
Here comes the pics. Enjoy.

Another cheap replica that came in the same package from Watcheden. There were all combinations (white, black, blue and BROWN dials with SS BRACELET or leather).
He said this version has the same quality case as the 7750 version baut with asian 21J movement. It's nice, not so thick as the 7750 versions, has a very present blue AR in mineral crystal. I love the way the crystal connects with the case, not the regular white circle. Bracelet very confortable and functional. The crown is not screwn and feels very filmsy. It's not GMT, it has the seconds in 2 places, syncronized,
The thing that bothers me is that the TAG logo is not straight. I'll sell it very soon.

Definitly not a railmaster
It looks like the watch base is this:
SEAMASTER AQUA TERRA MID SIZE CHRONOMETE
Steel on steel
Reference: 231.10.39.21.06.001
SIZE
Mid-Size
Case Diameter: 38.5 mm
but they put the railmaster back in it.
Cheers.

New model, Omega Seamaster Railmaster Coaxial ..... what a name!
Watcheden carries this in every possible combination. This is 39mm. saphire without AR, Asian 21J, black leather, deployant, 138$
Very nice dial, excellent back, excellent leather and deployant. But the final results get partially ruined because of the lack of AR. WARNING: the photos are much nicer than reality. With a good AR, and a little bigger this would be one of my daily wearers, ... but also, it's cheaper enough for a try.
-
I decided to try the new Daydates II because it bigger size appeaal more to me. The standard 36 mm. is too small.
My option was a cheap one with Asian movement and no saphire. President bracelet. I asked for a different model, black also and numerals but definetely a different one. Watcheden sent me this, I liked also. I'll buy again but this time with better movement and saphire. This went to a colleague that liked it a lot.

I think that this thread has sold a lot of these watches...Including one to me
It's funny you say this. I also think I have discovered a wonderfull piece that attracted few attention due to crappy dealer photos, even inacurate info.
It would be interesting to know how many "buyers" has converted a good set of pictures of this anonimous watch.
Why don
-
perfect pictures of a very nice watch.
do you have pictures of the movement?
do you know what movement it is?
Here you have the back. Manual wound. Nice back
-
Thank you very much for calling attention to this model with your excellent pictures! This is a rep that never caught my attention before, but is now on my list...
You're post caused me to go research the Senator Sixties a bit...Along the way, I came across this square chronograph, which was announced in Basil this year:
...I think I'm in love
This one is even nicer. It's one of the best looking watches I've seen in the last year. Wish I could afford to buy the real thing!! At least I hope It will be reped .
Thanks for the research.

I picked this with the silver seconds at 9, instead of all black. Perhaps it's a fantasy but I like it. The strap is very very good. The repetition mechanism is inexistent, of course. A bargain from Watcheden. 43 mm, mineral crystal and asian manual winding.
-
Beautiful! I was wearing mine this evening, it really is a picturesque watch. It's the kind of watch you just look at for the sake of looking, and not for telling what the time is!
I see you also chose the silver face with gold hands! Love the photo in the flowers.
Cheers

I bougth this Glash

A lot of people are sending me PM asking who the dealer was.
It was Toro Bravo, but in my understanding most of them are carrying this V3 Deepsea.

You like fat women?
Yes I do like some of them. But I also like some thin women, and some normal ones, and also some tall woman and some short....
Sorry but I don

Lol--Condemore, your monologue is creepily reminiscent of Pyle's gun cleaning monologue in Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. "Smooth, Charlene...smooth...so your action is perfect. Beautiful Charlene..."
Didn't know. I'll try to watch the film, cause I like Kubrick's film a lot. Although in this case is a "dialogue" betwenn Dipsi and her manager, preparing and performing a show.
Cheers,

There is a thread specific to the lume of this watch (part 2 of 4)
-
Hi Dipsi, where have you been?. Tonight is the big premier in the forum and you are full of dirt, what the hell are you thinking on?
Oh, my God. I forgot it. Please, give me a shower, those guys are so demanding...
Umm, I like it. I'm turning on. Look at my lume, it's starting to glow
Com'on, com'on the crystal still has some dust, and my bezel has some fingerprints..
The crown, please, don
-
The lume is wonderful on this piece. Whith 10 seconds charge I could snap some nice pics. Certainly the best ones about lume I've done. Curriously, lume gets green and blue in the hour dots, but I have not devised a cause & effect rule.

Well as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In my case, I just love Rolex and gave come full circle with the brand. I started with a gen Sub, gen DJ, and gen YM. Then I got into reps and then gens again and tried all the other brands but Rolex, kept a few, then came back to the classic Rolex designs realizing that they had staying power because they needed no refinement. But I swear that being a classic Rolex fan has nothing to do with what I'm about to say...
I feel that the Deep Sea, like the Day Date II, and the YM II (...no, I'm not talking about the ugly dial in this case which has nothing to do with it) is more than a bit unrefined.
I'm not sure why, but Rolex seems to be making these larger watches without compensating bracelets, lug widths, or dial designs to grow with them. The DDII is the same way. Just the exact same everything as the smaller brother but a bigger case and then they just widen the bezel so they can use the same dial footprint/movements as well. Is that all you have Rolex? I mean we know you are the big daddy but can you at look like you are trying to be a serious player in the industry?
I just don't get how anyone could either not notice or not care that Rolex is trying (and succeeding) to get away with something so copped out design wise. The funny thing is that if they really designed any of these to be larger watches from the ground up I'm certain I wouldn't be saying this. Oh well, I know I'm not the only one, but hey, this is an opinion forum and we are all entitled, right?
Anyway, for me, all these things make for a sort of clunky and un-refined design. I suspect those who enjoy these designs find a larger watch the most important criteria, but if so, I wonder why not just own something that is supposed to be large and didn't just grow because Rolex decided they needed a bigger watch for the craze. Plus, they are a little late for that, but no matter. The classic designs are still around and always will be so there will always be a Rolex for all of us.
Sorry for speaking my mind here, but obviously it is something I'm very passionate about. But before I go, kudos to to the OP. You made the watch look wonderful in your pics. Your photoskills are top notch my friend!

Hi RobbieG,
you are very welcome to express your opinion!!. I see you are a truly Rolex fan. I have put that title to the thread because a couple of years before any Rolex "horrorized" myself. But one day I bought a sub, and I liked. Then, three YM (inclusive a blkm one) cause I can not get one with the good dial, 3 GMT II with and without ceramic bezel, and some others. But I have also some newer Breitling and I ended up forgeting the rolexes because they look like toys to me (for the size). So Deepsea has a good basement in the traditional models and is bigger and has a very functional bracelet, clasp and lume. For me, not beeing a real fan, is a good evolution but I understand the purists are not convinced.
Thanks for your thoughts on that and for being so nice with the pics.
Regards

Pretiest Rolex to date, imho. V3 is very well done. My advice, Saphire is a must in this watch.
This is the first chunck of a possible series of 4.
