NP guys.  I asked him if he was fine with stating that the works on reps and he said it was no problem at all.

Thanks for the info, Mimi. Does he work on actual rep watches in terms of mods etc?

What do you mean in terms of mods? Lume and AR?  I can ask.

When I took in the movement alone, he stated that he could also put the watch together for me if I liked (free of charge).

He has actually been doing this for 35 years,  I asked him and it is a legacy that he has learned from his father (like most watch smiths).

EDIT:

Actually upon inspection and matching with this thread at another forum:

http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=39771

It seems that this movement is actually Asian.  If this is correct that means I won't be buying from TWG anytime soon...

It's a good thing my other watches are Asian because I paid for less than half the price and they are still running great.

I bought this watch over 5 years ago from Andrew. Within a couple of months the 12 o'clock marker fell off. In my infinite wisdom, I used the duct-tape method to open the case back. In the process of fixing the marker, the two pegs that hold the dial into the movement broke off. I was still able to put the watch back together. One day the dial moved due to the lack of the pegs. It wasn't until this week (years later) that I decided to open it answer readjust it. However, I also noticed that the movement wasn't running. I tried to shake it and then wind it but no go. The date and time adjustments work, just not the movement itself. When I wind it, I can see two gold gears, and two silver gears (one looks like a spoke and I see it tick something) moving. When I spin the rotor, I can see two other small gold gears (directly under the rotor) moving and one of the small silver gears that moved when I winded up well.

Can anyone tell me what the problem may be? I now that since I didn't use a tool that dust might have got inside. I really hope it wasn't that.

Thanks.

GL bergies.  I never shopped with you before but will check out your new site.  If I need suits, you'll be my guy!  Everyone has good things to say about you.

Eh I just purchased a UN from Watcheden.  I made a post in the review section in case anyone wants to follow the status since I have heard on another forum of many complaints.

It's a $2million USD Richard Mille...

 

One of a kind...

You're balling.  That's a really beautiful watch you got there.

Oh it's Asian ETA and 138 US!!

He's all out

I can find Asia 21J at Andrew's for 128...but you said it was 138 for Asian ETA...

Is Santa still giving out gifts?

Thx for the recommendation guys. 

@Ry & Noel: Saw some good comparisons with the PAMs but it just isn't my cup of tea.  A bit too small.

@cougar: That's a crz good price.  Went to Andrews site and he has em for near $300.

Any other ones?  Not Rolex or any other common brands that people would know off the street.  Basically, nothing that would question "counterfeit".

So you want the best but you want it cheep?

Similar to the noobfactory Yachtmaster I got for $100 a couple years back.  More accurate than the $290 I paid for a previous YM.  Not sure if such deals still exist.

Have been out of the scene for awhile.  Looking for some good super reps that won't break the bank.  Sub-300.

Also, any idea if anyone offers a good Maxi Marine Diver rep, particularly the chrome version?  All the ones from Andrew and PT have the clear back which is not on the gens.

Thanks!

Been looking for one that is close to the gen. Mostly all the ones I see are with clear case back (without the list of gold medals on the back). Does any good reps exist for it yet? Found these beauties @ watcheden but the case back...

@Katerchen

What exactly do they do to get rid of it? Do I need some sort of chemical to polish it off? I tried scratching it off with a toothbrush and nail polish remover and nothing came off.

@Kenberg

Do you have Mother Nature Tiffany ring by any chance? I'm looking for another one that's why.

Bought this Tiffany ring from a site along with other things and this is the only one that came out bad. There is a weird coating on it. It's supposed to look like sterling silver. As you can see the floral pattern is not affected, just the rest of the front.The inside and the sides of the ring look fine, its just the front. Here are pics:

Hello,

I checked with KenBergs stuff and his jewelry list doesn't have what I am looking for. So I saw a post here for www.replicavalley.com and would like to know if I can trust this site. I currently have around 10 things that I want to buy, namely Tiffany jewelry:

If you guys can let me know your experiences, Id gladly appreciate it. Thanks!

Beautiful rep and thanks for the review.

However, here are very noticeable differences based on the pictures you provided. The surf to the left of seconds@6 is a bit further out to the left. Also the surf is not as crisp and sharp as the gen.

Big movement difference based on the picture unregistered gave.

Still, for $178, its a great deal. Now give it to me in Rose Gold with a white face.

I was speaking of the UN MMD that Hont worked on getting released.

You linked to a Hublot above, so I'm not sure what you mean.

The Hublot was what I wanted BEFORE I saw the 18k UN.

The one you linked was the one I was talking about at Trusty. It really doesn't look good, however I guess its a good start for the rest to follow.

The blue dialed ss version just cam out, so I would think it's just a matter of time before the other flavors hit.

Are you talking about the LE Surf? I saw it over at Trusty's two days ago. It's great especially for the fact that it is an Asian movement. My last two watches have been asian movements and they have held up quite good I must say. Hopefully they make this gold one. I had my eye on this since Ive been waiting for it for over a year:

However, this gold UN has caught my eye now. Hopefully..soon

Saw this on ebay today and it is gorgeous

Anyone think we will be lucky a get a rep?

Wonder if there are going to be replica UNs like the Vertus.

Hey RobbieG,

I was looking for the same color but couldn't find it the bay or anywhere else. It was indeed a black bezel and a white dial though. I personally did not like the look...

PM sent

Do you mean rhodium? If so the boards will be flooded with RobbieG clones!

Sadly, he doesn't have that one, just asked. The only one that he has is a white dial with black bezel. Exact same model as the one that RobbieG generally posted, just a different variant.

The Maxi Marine is finally replicated! Just got some news from someone, just have to inquire if it's available in platinum. Get ready

Just got my hopes up. They "have" the Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver Platinum. Too bad that's a scam...
