Unfortunately not due to work/family commitments. Lots of mods to regular watches:-)  Always happy to assist.

Great to know!!

It must be over a year since i created this stunning watch for you?

AJ

At least. I am very pleased with it.

If I can get a high end dial and movement a next project should be possible    Have you had any other builds beside the repeater  the last year?

Phew ! :-)

Funny if I think about it. All the watches I had problems with at one point in time were GENS. All reps I own have worked without a glitch for years. Plus if you really have a problem instead of wracking your brain about what could be wrong, with the movements being so cheap you simply order a new movement and swap it. Try that with a gen.

What gens have you owned? and how old?

Gens have serious problems as well no doubt. Some are not all that reliable.

SEIKO owners swap their movments too when they have dropped their watch hard and found it will not run properly.

Still running like a clock

Got more?? This is what happens when You are chasing lello DW and bracelet

You are having fun using your $$$$$$$$$$$

HISTORIC BREAKTHROUGH! REVOLUTION! 

 

If we rely on our TD's the quality of reps is amazing for the price, IMO.    

 

 

I agree with the essence in your post, provided the member is well trained in buying replicas.

I would guesstimate that what you are stating is true for maybe as much as 20% of the replicas our TDs offer, all different brands considered.

The dial looks great!

Is the DW different??? Anyone with a V7, does that number 18 look the same?

To me the date font looks different than on V6 and V7

Pictures from Retina at RWI...looks like its is out

JLS1963 claims that:

"One of the TD's, TSWatch is listing this as a Noob New Release 1:1 Best Asian Clone AP 3120 movement.
Would love some of the resident AP Experts to review this vs the JF V7 and Noob V5.1.
From what I have seen, this new version on Rubber is a $50 premium vs V7 and V5.1.
I am not sure I would pony up an extra $50 for this re-release with a display case back...."

Using "maybe" does not reduce the hyperbole. That estimate suggests that only 1/1000 pieces are decent? I'd suggest that the TD's would never be able to operate if they had to deal with those numbers when ordering from the makers.

I never said they were decent. I said "good to great".

I would be thrilled if it was hyperbole, but mind you I was talking about all replica watches made by not just the ones sourced by our best dealers from the better makers so my "hyperbole"  includes also "the plain ugly fakes".

Still think your facts are not supported by the data.  Not sure from whence the .1 percent comes, but I'd like to see the data. All this said, we can agree to disagree.  That is what this community is about.

Agreed. I said maybe 0.1 percent

Note! You use maybe to indicate that something is possible, although you are not certain about it.

There's only ONE reason prices have gone up.   Because we keep buying!    

 

There's only ONE way to reverse the trend.    Keep your money in your wallet.

I think that anyone who would make the broad, general statement..."Replicas are no good..."  just doesn't know what he's talking about.

Unfortunately it is a fact that replicas (in general) are no damn good, for reasons that are pretty obvious ......maybe, just maybe 0.1% of the replicas are good to great watches depending on what standards one is setting.

Fortunately we are in a position to find and choose between the better replicas and gather information to choose the better ones
