Hi guys,

I am looking for a case back of a tricompax navitimer rep (with the sliderule engraving), If anyone has one he does not need I might be interested in buying it.

Let me know, PM me.


thanks!

Hey mates,

I was wondering if Perfect clones is still in business (the site is up) ?

I was looking at one of his Navitimer serie specliele reps.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

I was looking at the Serie Speciele Navitimer on Perfect clone's site, at link  -      /bl10034-navitimer-serie-speciale-black-dial-working-chronos-p-1693.html 

Does anyone knows what type case this one has ?
 

I'm thinking of doing a franken navitimer (using a gen 7750 movement, hands and dial )


would the gen parts fit in there ? (mainly movement and dial - hands should fit on a swiss 7750 as much as I remember)



Any help will be so much appreciated

thanks!

Member doni01 over at Repgeek can get the gens for $100 so not worth doing a run of these.

 

thats some good info! thanks I guess you're right than

Hi guys,

I am not sure how many of us are still in need for genuine looking DW for breitling reps.

I know the good old Lello DW are gone years ago, but how about a new production of DW ?

Anyone thought about it ?

Thanks for the input friends! The photos indeed looks too good to be real (perfect date window, too perfect), how does the rep from the TD looks like? I know that the standard-grade reps are all made in the same factory, but am I wrong about this one?

Cheers

They post it without the marking, but does the dial and shape are any good ? Or the "rep" is better ?

Hi Guys,

I don't have any IWC reps right now, actually lately I've been wearing my gen Oris artelier big date.

I've came across a rep IWC Portuguese 7 days PR rep that is about $105 including shipping, it has the seagull movement (not sure if the one with the skeletonzied rotor or not - anyway the movement is not per gen).

What do you think about the looks ?  is it worth buying ? as much as i'm aware, the "standard" reps such as this, are usually all from the same factory with the same pros and cons no matter who is the dealer (correct me if i'm wrong)

I've attached two photos of the rep.

I've love to see your opinions.

Thanks in advance

OK I can see that intime has them !

looking at product = 150  (black sub) -  Is this ver is the one that should accept gen tube and crown right out of the box?

thanks

Hi mates,

As the title says -

Where can I find a BP Submariner in SS, black face, with the asian eta movement ? 

Which TD sell them right now?

Many thanks!

db1

It's a scam.

a genuine ETA 7750 movement alone costs about $400-500.

also - the swiss movement for a tricompax layout should be the 7753, not a 7750.

some dealers are trying to pump up their sales using the "swiss movement" sales speech cause they know people are looking for reps with "swiss" movements.

Guys, the Rolex tap is 3.0mm x .35. This is for the 6mm and 7mm tubes. .35 is a somewhat oddball thread pitch BTW.

Also, old GMTs took the smaller crown and tube- the 5.3 mm crown- those holes are 2.5mm x .25. 

Ofrei and Jules Borel sell these tools and well as the wrench to install the 7 mm tubes.

great info ! thanks mate

I have installed gen gasket on a BP GMT IIc and it worked fine, both with rep and gen bezel retaining rings.

 

Gen gasket doesn't work on a BP Sub C because the BP sub-c retaining ring has a larger ID than gen. I imagine a gen bezel with retaining ring would work fine with gen gasket.

The sub that's pictured in that link almost certainly won't take gen anything.

This "adding two posts together" thing is annoying, I posted two different posts because I wanted to.

Thanks for the reply sneed !

so does a BP sub\gmt rep is a better choice for accepting gen parts (e.g. crown, tube, insert, dial ) right out-the-box ?

Cheers!

Db

Depends on the sub maker.  For example, a TC Submariner case won't accept a genuine tube, and needs to be tapped M3 .25

Thanks for the quick response and vaulable info mate, I'll check out the link

I also remember that when I've had my parts (for the daytona project which never took off) - I've got a small tool to screw the gen tube with (it was a "T" tool which) - do you know if these are still available ?

Many thanks!

Hi friends,

It's been awhile since i've dealt with sourcing parts or trying to mod anything. I'm now feeling like buying a sub or a gmt master rep and mod it with some gen parts.

(Used to have a secs@9 daytona two years ago, which I've wanted to mod - already had the gen crown, tube and pushers, eventually ended up selling all of the parts and the watch due to the lack of time)

What's the correct tap to use for a gen tube fit for a modern submariner \ gmt-master  ?

(they both have the same tube if i'm not mistaken ? and I haven't decided yet about which one i'm gonna get and mod)

and I'd be glad to know if any member of rwg is selling them, I'd better buy from him than someone else

Many thanks!

db

Thank you so much for the in-depth and informative reply mate

So the rlx reps trusty sell as "ultimate" are cartel grade reps? (I thought that cartel grade are the $130 reps)

How accurate is trusty's sub or gmt master?

Many thanks!

Db

a friendly bump

Hi guys,

following the description on one of Trusty's listings:

http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=10893&zenid=158642ddbadfb457ca51a119b242ff00

"External Dimension is 1 : 1 against the Genuine... All External Parts are interchangeable with Genuine...."

The same description can be seen on the GMT master rep listing.

Is it legit ?

e.g. could I fit a gen crown and tube without re-tapping and without doing any adjustments ? how about a bezel assembly ? or a gen dial , crystal etc..

(The plan is to buy the rep with an asian ETA, and fit gen tube+crown, gen bezel assembly+insert, gen dial and maybe also gen crystal later on )

Any help will be appreciated.

Many thanks!

Db

Hi friends,

As the title says- I'm looking for an accurate submariner 18k TT rep with the Asian eta movement, what's the best I can get for around 300 USD ?

The watch is for my brother.

Thanks in advance !

Db

@gasdoc

I've made a thread on the same subject as you do  about 6 month ago (trying to make\source a gen DW for my tricompax navi) - there are no scans of a tricompax DW available anywhere. I've got my hands on a breit 7750 DW scan - and have tried to rotate the first 9 digits - but the result is not professional enough (and i'm not sure if the font is %100 same as the tricompax navi)

any luck on your side ?

db

I love your review and I love the photography (great macro photos), wear it in good health mate

@whoever

about the language on the day disc,

I think (not %100 sure) that the seiko "5" was later on started being producted for specific markets so they have adjusted the day disc with the correct language per market producted (you can find many vintage watches with various of date\month languages such as : german, spanish, chinese, etc..)

Hi mates,

I was wondering, does a rep of the A.Lange Sohne - Lange 1 watch exists ?

I've seen some photos, and I was wondering if the dial (big date, hour and minute hands, power reserve hand) was functioning or was that an al cheapo rep or photoshoped photo ?

Here's an example link (dont know the website - just using the pic)

What do you think?

Cheers,
