does the inner bezel turn with the turning of the crown like the original?

his says "wooden graphic caseback" i wonder if it is real wood or just a sticker...

this is true, but for over $600 you shouldn't have to...

hublote... if i paid that much for this watch i'd be pi$$ed... so much for 1:1

it appears to be missing the print on the back that lists the materials, e.g. kevlar, steel, titanium... the mellw yellow version has this. i guess you have to pay another $100 for that detail.

A few thoughts I am having, and would love to have some debate on this... With the release of the new BCE and steelfish and HBB ceramic models, and with other watches coming our way (Cousteau divers, possibly the long-awaited AP ROO), we seem to be miving into an exciting area of reps, with levels of detail I never would have anticipated in a rep. However, prices also seem to be reaching levels I, for one, am uncomfortable paying for a rep. I realize that this is a free market, and that prices are set by what the market will bear. If dealsrs begin to have unsold stock at a high price point, it would make sense that there would be some pressure to reduce price and move some stock. Take, for example, the new ceramic HBB. Beautiful watch, impressive visually, but with a movement that is present in watches 1/3 the price, with some questions about long-term reliability, and with a history of screws falling out and other QC issues. These reps are getting too expensive to justify the fun of a quick purchase with occasional wear. I look around at other items that I could purchase for the same price point, and I start to ask myself, what would I get more enjoyment from? A new Apple iPhone, maybe ($599 list)? Watch videos, listen to music, camera, internet browsing, cell phone, IM, GPS, Google maps? Or perhaps a Sony Playstation 3 ($599 list)? 60 GB hard drive, media center capability, BluRay high-def player, video games in 1080p, WiFi, killer looks? Thinking of these other things and the level of technology and sophistication required, I really scratch my head when I try to justify spending the same money on a replica item that I have absolutely no assurance will be working properly even 1 month after I buy it.

nice job guys!!!

Hi guys, I've had a Daytona seconds-at-6 Asian movement for about 8 months now, has been running well until the past few days. I will wind it and it will run for a few minutes, but then the 6 o'clock seconds hand always stops in the same place, at 5 seconds or so. I then have to give the watch a bump and it will begin to run again for a few minutes, but it stops again at the same place a few minutes later. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I love this watch and I do not want to throw it out! Thanks!!

may i ask how much a frame like that costs?

the blue hand is dead giveaway... should be brighter. on the other hand, the odds of running into this in the real world is next to nil.

I have one of these brand new, Hermes Birkin, baby blue, with Hermes box, brand new with lock, keys, and rain gear. Please PM if you are interested.

I don't even know if this exists or not... not too pleasing to the eye, though. I prefer the panda...

count me in....

i would buy a vacheron master compressor rep of good quality in a heartbeat. problem is, i can't seem to find one.

this just came up... what do you paneristi think about the improvements? when will dealers have these in stock?

cool... can anyone post/pm me his contact info? much appreciated...

link is not working... can you repost?

any leads on where i can get some high quality rep sunglasses (prada especialliy)? thanks.

i would definitely get one... but that white plastic piece on the inside is a dealbreaker on a $500+ watch. until that is fixed, i won't be getting one... when will the rep makers learn?

i am considering the swiss 212 myself. only problem is that the back engravings still lack serial numbers and other details, and that they used a cheap plastic spacer on the inside of the watch, which is visible from the outside. pretty poor in a $600+ watch. anybody who has the new swiss 212 please comment...
