you will only get caught out with the rep if you offer the watch over for inspection and they look at the back and only an idiot would do that with a rep

Ahhhhh i love seeing wet reps

I just did the hands and dial for cats (his watch on the right) the color is a more cream/ivory tint mixed in this case with bergeon lume ( not so much lume power) and make up foundation powder. i am always willing to give it a go

This is getting discussed on TZ uk here and it is surprising the people who think it is only a little suspect, if the seller had a box and did not write what he did they would be bidding, any one reported this yet?

Not seen any on the bay, and a gen case would be nice, failing that what is the best rep case for a vintage explorer?

If you are looking for a rep that will pass as a gen with a display back you wont find one. the railmaster is one of the great reps, if you cant be happy with one of these then buy a gen.

This weekend i am helping out with a clock and watch exhibition at a local museum and explaining how it all works to kids so i went with the Schuhren Admiral today

nice dan

you buy less crap and more quality!

Took my daughter water sking today and i can confirm that the tantalium is water proof Hope you are happy cats, is it what you expected?

Very nice is there a site with more pics of the yacht?

Welcome to RWG, the more time you spend reading and discussing the less cash you spend in the long run

Has the one on the right arrived yet?

Zeno movement, unsigned case and an IWC dial does not fill me with confidence, the only thing IWC on that is the dial if it is not a rep one, i wont be bidding that is for sure

Well on the power reserve it depends on how active you are as to how quick it will build a decent power reserve of 2 days, generaly after a full day on my wrist (i am quite active and run every morning) most watches have at least 36 hours PR. which model did you get if it a modern sub then the bezel should only turn one way, how about some photos? But the best bit is that you are happy, you will find that collecting reps is:- A addictive b frustrating c a bit of a gamble when it comes to quality control enjoy and get your camera out

wow, many people will say what freddy has about the use of the gen movement but i still think it is a stunning watch!

The seconds @3 movements are better due to the pivots being jeweled in this movement, nothing like the time bomb seconds @ 6, there have been a number of watches with the big date complication where the quick change function has faild and the day can only be changed by winding the hands for word but that is fine if you have have it on a winder or wear it alot. Both of mine have been fine.

double post sorry

that is the question i would like to know, i have been put off so many SMPs because of He valve pos and crown guards, the lume looks a bit yellow but that may be the light and i can re lume it any way

Welcome back, not a lot new to be honest apart from the best new dive watch for years has a special crystal that falls apart when wet

I have sent a question to see if i can view the watch but no answer

Hmmm crown position looks good, but the CGs look a bit fat allround, will it take an ETA?

Is that a gen???? 1680 the one on the left

Looks like the latest cartel one to me, not getting my bid that is for sure!

Nice watch River, I just noticed an increase of body parts for sale on ebay i think people are trying to collect spare cash for your sale
