  1. Sorry but for who is asking.... search button. I know that you are new here, but please study and read forum at first then ask.

    You will have lot of useful info in that way- study and read first and ask later. :)

    There is lot of good replicas, PAM or no Pam, out there. The all have flaw`s. Not available perfect rep from any dealer. But there IS lot of good replicas. If rest( look) is fine or very fine , still you have crap movement inside, even if it has "swiss one" ( real swill= usually used swiss movement, lifetime unknown)

    hint: buy a watch with closed case back .

  2. Read further than just the first post ;)

    Also most of our reps (if not all) that have a screw down crown have a clutch mechanism in the crown which prevents the movement form being hand wound when you screw down the crown.

    So if you push the crown down you disengage it from the stem which will lead to only screwing down the crown and leaving the stem unmoved. Ergo not winding the movement because the stem that engages the keyless works doesn´t move.

    But if you do feel the movement hand winding while screwing down the crown that means a. the clutch inside the crown is broken or b. the stem is too short.

    Thanks Rolexman :), seems like all my rep watches with small stem flaw`s, even these what are serviced :( , if I will screw down crown - I can hear that "winding sound", every one of my rep watches with screw down crown will do that. Winding sound is quite silent but it is definitely there.

    ps) sry :oops: , my questions are not directly involved with SW200 movement`s, but hopefully it is fine.

  3. Thanks, very good to know that! B)

    BTW I twas thinking to ask some time ago regarding watches with screw in crown - since you will be winding the watch as you screw the crown...usually manual wind for 7750 or any self winding mechanical movement is not recommended .... are all reps with screw in crowns less reliable, no matter what movement inside?? You not suppose to wind it manually but you will wind it manually when you screw in crown anyway :g:. Even with 6497 movement it is difficult to screw crown in if fully winded, not even difficult-sometimes impossible...movement is already fully winded but you have to wind it slightly more when you screw crown in.

  4. I just saw Breitling´s site and the photos of the FlyingB do not seem to be different from this watch with regards to color of the date wheel. Maybe I am a little color blind LOL.

    Also PERFECTCLONES says their FlyingB has a marron date wheel. Am I being too optimistic? I do plan to buy one as soon as I can get over the strain of Xmas spending. I hope they are still in stock.

    ... GEN color is more darker, rep sub dial`s text is thinner, rep case is slightly different, movement is not like gen has, rest is ok. Good rep, a little over priced IMHO but still good and nice rep.

    ps) Marron date.... at first this red was "very" red, updated color is more darker red bu still not dark enough.

  5. "As with other Bentley models, the datewheel is a little too red though."

    "

    I can just see some Chinese watchmaker screaming "bloody Quai Lo .... you never happy!"

    I have seen FM rep with similar big date , a7750 movement, with dark red( or black) date color, so they can do right thing but probably no more new 6.75`s or Flying B`s.... so I am sure that no new datewheels for these in future. They will use old stock parts and then end of story-end of these reps with "Big date".

  6. How old she is? Sorry but I have to ask-majority lady`s reps are for older lady`s IMHO

    If she is younger than 40 then one of few designed to "young(er)" woman is Chanel caremic. Chanel ceramic is one of the best lady`s watch IMHO. I did bought for my GF ( she is 25)last year white ceramic and now a few day`s ago I did buy black ceramic also. You can`t go wrong with ceramic. Ceramic is best material, she don´t "wear it off", she can only break it, but not scratch watch surface. Chanel rep`s has sometimes some weaker points but mostly they are ok. Dior is also ok.

    40+ or with bigger wrist all these other`s "Rolex , Beritling, Cartier etc ( more "prestige, old-school" brands) rep are good to go. .

    + DEFINITELY QUARTZ FOR WOMAN no mechanical watch!

  7. Ehhhh... I just checked a couple of boxes that I thought the clasp might be in; all I I have are a complete bracelet for a 38mm, and a complete back up bracelet for a 33mm (which I can't part with as it's a spare for my wife's watch).

    I'll keep looking, but I'm afraid I may have thrown the old clasp out (it had a cracked link if I recall correct).

    :(

    Ok , don`t worry if you don`t find it :) , I will check then automatico link`s.

    I think I can repair it but how nice result will be...

  8. Thanks guys... Some guy at work took it off my hands even after I explained what you guys said... :)

    Then it is very good if somebody bought it from you :)

    You can buy a better B for Bentley rep ;)

    I would suggest 6.75 version. I have this almost from day 1 when I did join with RWG. Despite of some flaw, it is still one my favorite and one best out of box rep regarding building quality. Ok you will have date window slightly too big and date font slightly too red but rest is superb. Blue, white and brown dial color is not perfectly accurate but who cares and you can always choose a black dial. Available from any dealer probably.

    ps) It s` difficult to take a picture from dial for showing real dial color. In real life it is not so bright purple-blue, it is quite ok.

    gen ( I even like rep date window size and numbers color better :) ):
