  1. That's what the dealers state. A good looking watch but I think I rather have a V3 AP Diver. A Gen Dior does nothing for me. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  2. Wanna bet? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  3. Yes, 2010 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  4. It does not feel significantly top heavy, weight is more or less on par with a 187 but spread out more evenly because of the 22mm case height. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  5. Great review. I had a feeling it was very close, now I am pleasantly surprised and I'm glad I picked this one up. To those that take issue with the crystal height, just know that it is absolutely stunning on the rep. Maybe the only "flaw" on any rep that makes it superior in some aspect to the corresponding genuine. The Pearl is abysmal. The beat rate is meh. Does anyone know if a Sellita SW200 will drop into this SD? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  6. Pics? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  7. How does it smell? Rep bags seem to emit a stench akin to a Cherynobyl abortion clinic. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  8. Wow that was what I was afraid of. If you didn't even recall an impact that means it was minimal yet caused significant damage. Not good to buy the all ceramic then I think. If I were you I'd order a new case a.s.a.p, A. They have already stopped making some Skeleton Tourbillon models B. If a little bit of moisture or dust peers in through that crack say goodbye to a very expensive movement. No watchsmith I know in this side of the world would touch a Chinese tourbillon.

  9. The 7750s in the Auto Pams are not as bad as you think. Many aspects are correct. The size is completely 1:1, the rotor looks excellent and everything is more or less in the right place. It is missing that base plate obviously but the P9000 movement is built on a 7750 ebauche. I just think at around $300 they are good value for a new a7750 based watch. The rumors are they will rep the movement but who knows? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  10. Yes I remember but is her version in fact a noobmariner? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  11. It won't fit in a V6 case or any other non tourbillon HBB. Too much has to go in it. You can't even swap the bezels between the skeleton tourbillon and an HBB chrono. You're going to need to ask for a new case from a dealer. It sucks I know. How'd it happen? Did you notice when you impacted it or did you notice the crack after the fact?

  12. Very Interesting. What can we do about the weight difference? It is substantial. It has been a spine in my side the weight problem of these gold reps. I have no gold reps because they are soooo light. I have searched high and low for solutions. I think tungsten is the answer, maybe Toro can custom order a RG PVD tungsten case for say a few AP Rubberclads...? Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  13. I loathe this abomination. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  14. Can someone PM Kuvarsit's contact details? I've tried contacting him via his website, but it seems like he is missing in action...Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  15. These are posts that you should not dignify with a response, take note noobs and fools. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  16. If you think that post count has anything to do with contribution then you have merely confirmed what was before an assumption, fool!P.S. I think shilling other watches here is frowned upon, with all your posts and "contributions" you'd surely know that by now. Just sayin'.Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  17. Looks really good, with very minor revisions it looks like it can get as close as an a6497. One of the mods is to trim one of the bridges to show more gear and the gear next to the word "barrel" should be gold plated. Easy fixes. Since this is a cheap 21j base, I hope the savings are passed to us. I'd guesstimate around $300 for a clone P2002 watch. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  18. Is her's a no name factory's or is it the same noobmariner narikka sells?Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  19. I love white dials but don't know, I just despise the Montauk. I have never seen a rep RG AP. Gen RG AP ROOs are gobsmackingly gorgeous though. How would you say the shade compares? Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  20. They can do it, whether they would want to is a completely different story though. The difference between eyeglass AR and watch AR: Eyeglass AR has a Green tint and is more prone to scratches and generally physically weaker. It won't last as long as specialized watch AR. Watch AR can very from a very Deep Blue tint to light purple to an imperceptible gold tint. Lasts very long and can vary but should be good against scratches. I say enjoy it as is because A. Gen does not have AR, B. Your crystal is almost surely mineral and C. It is going to cost at least the whole price of the watch. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  21. It's a shame when posters make a comment and someone corrects them merely because they thought said poster was misinformed, yet some ignore this and proceed to get pompous. I'm a little fed up so here's my turn. The RBII originally retailed at $23k. The Platinum version is irrevelant. You stated the RBII started at $60k. You were promptly corrected by someone obviously better informed than yourself and still made a snarky remark to defend your point. You are a fool.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  22. I think they are considering the new 41mm Royal Oak for replication, not the chrono as there is no suitable movement. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  23. Love the Las Vegas, I have always hated the Montauk and will keep hating it!!! Even your Rose Gold One!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  24. Definitely not the best rep out of the box. The V3 has a High beat movement, Gen is low beat. With all the 21js out there they couldn't (or perhaps didn't want to?) find a suitable low beat movement. The Gen is a low beat quick set date with hacking. The Chinese 2813 is a low beat quick set date with hacking. Why they didn't at least let us choose this as an option is beyond me. This is a 44mm watch with a central sweeping seconds hand, it IS noticeable. Moreso than recessed bezel screws and lume applique. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  25. No. RBIIs when they were available in 2007 started from $23k. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
