Pugwash

Ok, here's my word: Didn'tTheyDoThisOnRepGeekAsAnArtificialWayOfIncreasingPostCount?

What a lovely 21j faux-chrono replica. Oh, wait, it's crap.

The 2894 is a very normal movement to use as a base. It's better and slimmer than a 7753. Just look at the number of seconds-at-three watches out there, like the Monaco or the Speedy reduced.

Any chance of copy/pasting the content? I don't want to have to sign up to that old place.

Dianese wallet, Nikon prescription shades, iPhone, keys. That's your lot. Oh, and a watch.

I don't like insulting people's watches, apart from in two circumstances: 1 - It's funny. 2 - It's a Hublot.

Or lack thereof.

Thanks, mate. It's only a little enhanced to bring details out.

I got it on this very forum from Justasgood for an amazing price. And yes, it's today's watch. Again.

Am I part of the in-crowd now? Eek!

I can. It's got gold parts. Oh, you didn't mean aesthetically wrong?

I recognise that!

Freddy's artistic composition made me go and get Mrs Pugwash's ceramic moon.

It's apparent that I was very lucky in getting this one. Thanks everyone that was just a tad too slow.

I glued my gen tube into my UPO and it came out. I glued ity again and it came out again. I araldited it and it came out. I araldited it again and it's solid. The first aralditing cleaned out the crap and paved the way for the second to work. If you don't have access to welding, don't give up with the glue. Why did I need a gen crown/tube? Because the UPO tube stripped, of course.

No, just not the "best of the year". You can't claim perfection when it's obviously flawed.

Tough call. I'd suggest no, but if you were to sell the Oris and buy a Rep, I'd be ok with it, oddly enough.

Phwoar!

Not quite. At 12 years, it's half as radioactive, not half as bright. :-) Oh, and sure you can charge it. Tritium paint isn't just tritium; it's tritium, a phosphorescent and a luminous element.

Actually, as long as I control the lighting, I can tell an unmodded rep Sub from a gen at well over 10 feet.

As long as it's less than 12 years old.

With all watches like this, you're buying the seller. If the seller is trusted, it's plausible. Its a hokey story, but if the seller is genuine, you're all set. Oh, if it is indeed tritium, it's 99.9% genuine. You can't get that paint easily.

Thanks for that. It's as I feared. The rep hangs off the bottom. The gen is centred. I don't have a U2 iPod. I have a regular one.

I believe it. It's what fuelled my own interest!
