I was looking around and found this wonderful place where you can look at every single issue of la revue des montres online . Enjoy !

The dial is so-so (not terrible, not great), the caseback IS terrible (search Timezone or google for a gen to compare), the date is not centered in the date window & I do not know what the Helium escape valve on the side of the case (near 9 o'clock) looks like. All in all, it looks like an average rep - not terrible, not great. Certainly not a genuine Rolex.

neither an MBW, I guess ?

anyone ? pleeaaaaaase !!!

here are some more pics

anybody could tell me about this model ? Is it any good ?

great thanks very much

I am always in doubt when buying springbars. Could anyone clear this little point.

When a spring bar says 22 mm (for example) does it mean that it is the length of the case where the strap fits ?

here is a little pic to show my doubt

Like Freddy said, it's probably the same as the one from Paul- working HE valve, good bracelet w/ fantasy clasp, decent dial. These guys all buy from the same factories over in Ghangzhou.

damn ! I think I am gonna for this one anyway. I am just not ready to go for $350 rep of a rolex yet

What about the one from trusty? It claims to be 1:1 like the genuine with a "correct" plexi

I believe the current CD is being worked on .. hopefully they will rep the bracelet.. now we... hurry up and wait..

So, let's wait and see

The one from Ruby looks to be a step down from Paul's. The bracelet is a solid mid link w/ the wrong #'s- 70216 and 455B ends are totally wrong. Movement is probably an eta copy- can't believe you'd get a real eta for $169. A T-39 probably won't fit. Otherwise, it looks OK- maybe it would be a good beater, cg's actually look fair.

Yes, $169 for an ETA would be a early christmas present and I don't really believe in Santa especially with the chinese market

So apart from the MBW no other case would fit a superdomed glass ? But if I want to get a 1665 is there any rep apart from the MBW that you will recommend ?

that is why my thread is titled cousteau 2006

But that does not answer my question about the bracelet Is an ingenieur bracelet might fit ?

I run into this pics on watchuseek and wonder if there is some way that the cousteau 2006 rep could fit into a rep steel bracelet ?

Hi everyone,

I am still looking and hesitate for one 1665 or another

Learning how to apply lume and have it look nice is a learned artistic skill.

Your first attempts are going to end up in most likely a mess, especially if your not trained to work and handle parts under a loupe. Just using a loup is also an aquired skill.

If you do decide to give it a go, get an old dial, actually a bunch of dials, before you attempt it on a good watch. And practice, practice and continue to practice...

You shouldn't remove the existing lume from the dial, not only do you risk damaging the dial there is no reason for it to come off.

Hands are cleaned of lume by pressing the old lume out of the cutout, and then scraping the remaining lume off the back of the hands with an xacto knife.

Honestly, if you only need a few dials and hands done, your time and money are best spent paying someone else to do the work.

Regarding your amazing job on some Cousteau dial you did, I would definetively ask you to do it. Bu I am in europe and sending the watch light be risky

I thought also that ther was no point of doing such a rep

let's roll

I found this Sekonda on the bay and I am not sure it is genuine.

I was wondering if it was genuine? Does Sekonda replicas exists? Just want to be sure not being screwed up

thanks for the info

Hi,

I plan to relume several of my rep. I have a UPO omega, a IWC 3717 a IWC cousteau 2006 an omega speedmaster and a panerai 177H (maybe the easier

[url=http://www.filenest.com/movies/james-bond-quantum-of-solace-2008-proper-ts-line-xvid-circle/#more-3257]There is a nice quality screener available already

I want one so badly

Yeah its almost worth buying for bits alone if you're building a 1665. I even salvaged the non-groove flip-lock off of the bracelet and used it on a regular oyster.

Cheers

P.

Are you still talking about the one from pam111?

I am more into getting a nice 1665. I am not yet into the highly mod thing. So an average rep with some flaws could fit my desire. and my range price is more 250$ max.
