#1 is great but I guess #2 may be better for some?

well not in time...and guess i am not quite the rocket scientist I had imagined...I am more the forgetful professor type

idunno...but thanks

Big is beautiful

Agree 100% Functionality is No.1.. but still I do own such replica due to its beauty (false claim is on the caseback and in French "repetition sautantes" so my father would not be able to tell).....

OK! Be aware that no replicas are true rattrapante.. = two separate chronograph hands..so if the watch say rattrapante on the dial stay away unless you have a movement with 2 second hands to put in it (this is my opinion) Typical Chrono vs "Flyback" Chrono vs. Rattrapante (splitt chrono) "What makes a watch a "Flyback" model? When a watch is advertised as a Rattrapante, what does that mean?" First of all, there were different systems designed to help measure time intervals (Stop watch etc..): The typical CHRONOGHRAPH (= one single seconds hand) found in replicas are fine (7750 and VENUS 175 in replicas...quartz I will not get into) "A "flyback" is often used for the typical chrono but a flyback should actually work as follows: first push of the chrono button starts the seconds hand. Second push causes the seconds hand to reset to zero and begins. This is opposed to a normal chrono where you push once to start, once more to stop, and another button to return to zero, and once more to begin again. The purpose of the flyback (or should it have a different more precise name?) is to begin retiming quickly. "A split seconds or rattrapante (it means catch up in French) or doppelchrono (double chrono in German) has two seconds hands, the first push starts both hands together, the second push stops one hand while the other continues, and another push allows the stopped hand to catchup with the moving seconds." To sum up: 1. "Rattrapante," "split seconds," and "double chronograph" are all well defined and clearly refer to the case where there are two chronograph second hands, one of which can be stopped while the other continues. 2. The term "flyback" is used (wrongly?) for most typical chronographs even if it actually is a littele quicker than the typical chronograph," anuhow one should not assume it is a rattrapante unless you can see two chronograph second hands 3. For general use, most people who need to time intervals in rapid succession need a rattrapante 4. Unfortunately the term flyback might be useless as it can be used on for chronograph wher the second hands jumps back to its starting position....

Now thats a Lange retrogarde with sun rays and all up (AB) Great to see those unusual reps (even if repping such a horological beauty is almost sacrilegious to me ) Happiest Timekeeping Gunnar The Whorologist

I agree! Without the screws your [censored]. Besides the replica is indeed acceptable. V.Good 1st choice. Happy Timekeeping Gran

Buy a replica that you like What watch would you like to have on your wrist? It should fit your personality and taste. Usually the person that prefer an OMEGA would tend not to go for a PANERAI....then everyone seem to like ROLEX...hey if you like ROLEX do not be bothered by the fake watch stigma...this is fake watch heaven are you an OMEGA man or a PANERAI man? Happy Timekepping Gunnar

In many ways it is a shame to make a replica of Lange 1....to me the Lange and Söhne watches are just too beautiful to be properly repped...when I started collecting replicas I was looking and looking for a Lange replica and all I found was crap and missspellings I guess the Lange 1815 is a reasonably good Lange replica

Now that is a great OMEGA

Killer shot

This will spruce it up

I prefer Dr.Gran and "make love " sounds accurate enough to

Truly impressive (but what is the huge difference in the crystals? )

Good idea anyhow you cant realy [censored] the watches....

True

Lovely combo

Welcome back Gen IWC Portuguese is a great goal Oldy Gran

Yes I know this one..mine was silver..I see that the date is still at 2005 I hade to use a hammer to change the YEAR on mine....gave it to my nephew

Warning! Review of old replicas that are likely not sold or in any demand anymore Vacheron Constantin Patrimony 31 Day Retrograde In 2000 to see the retrograding date show up again in a wristwatch, when it appeared in the reference 47245, the "31-Day Retrograding Calendar Watch. In 2002, for the 247th anniversary of the brand, Vacheron Constantin created a limited edition watch (247 pieces) in platinum that had an open dial, showcasing the retrograding mechanism as well as special finishing on the mainplate. The case is 37 mm in diameter, and the lugs alluded to a design from the 1950's. It was available in rose or white gold with a silver dial, or in platinum with a black dial. The base movement was a JLC 889 to which Vacheron Constantin created the calendar complications: Automatic Caliber VC1126 R31 Dial Guilloché matte silver (or black) with applied white gold radial Roman numerals and round indexes. Functions: Hour - Minute - Day - retrograd Date • Reference Number: 47245 • Case Diameter :37mm • Thickness: 9mm My Replicas: Old version and in many aspects best quality version replica Newer version that seems more accurate: Conclusions on old black dial replica: 1. Lack of VI hour marker and a usher at X that is rather small is the largest deviations from the genuine regarding the face on the old black face version of the replica 2. Quality of sapphire glass on front and back is very good on the old black face replica 3. Movement is rather pretty on this replica (but the genuine is gorgeous so no comparison there) 4. Rest of back side is reasonable on this replica 5. Sizes and shapes, including lugs are reasonably similar to genuine 6. All functions are functional on rep Final: Not a bad rep at all and strangely enough this first rep version is the better one (much better quality make of crystals and case and display back than my newer silver face version) Silver face rep has improved face, pusher at X and VI hour marker but make of crystals and case are less impressive on close inspection. Back is less accurate. The very newest Bi-Retrograde (retrograde date and retrograde day) replica is just ridiculous due to the poor job on the day indicators on the dial…THUDAY???!!! …scandalous work at the factory! replica bi-retrograde WEDDAY?????? Genuine Bi-Retrograde detail for comparison

Making Sense Of The Sellita SW200 Movement = ETA 2824-2? The new NAUTILUS series has the SWISS SW200 from Sellita acording to some dealers Nautilis Jumbo 1:1 MOVEMENT: Swiss SW 200 Autromatic Movement , 25J, 28800bph, Nickle Plated, Cortes de Geneve Engineered Bridges, Gold Plated Insginia Rotor As per the Genuine From stuffler,mike: SW 200 = ETA 2824 SW 220 = ETA 2834 SW 240 = ETA 2836 SW 300 = ETA 2892 and ((at Baselworld 2010)) SW 500 = ETA/Valjoux 7750. Sellita for years worked in ETA movements. The SW 200 is a clone of the ETA 2824-2 with one jewel more. You might expect same performance.Brands that already use Sellita: Oris, Meistersinger, Nivrel, Limes, Invicta, Steinhart/Debraufre, Ocean7, Bathys, Schaumburg, Arctos, Nauticfish, MarcelloC, Chase Durer Sellita, a company that became so specialized in the refinishing of movement blanks that they could offer nicer working movements than ETA for the same price. http://watchotaku.com/display/swr/SW300
