  1. I have a 01-94 Phantom Rep. I bought it from Eurotimez (who is not around RWG anymore).

    Look is cool, Lume is good, but it has a Quartz Movement and a Datewheel wich makes it more easy to be exposed as a rep.

    The regular black and white PVD 01-92 I own is very close to the real deal.

    Cheers

  2. Believe or not its cheaper to order from the AD and they are much better quality :)

    How did you order at the AD? Last year I called 3 dealers and all told me I had to send in the watch to Paris, and that even the AD could not hand out these screws. At least it's like that in Switzerland.

    Cheers

  3. Oh, finally this was easy... I mailed Eurotimez and Chris would send me some screws for free. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    I know, this is about gen parts... but for a replacement of missing screws it did a perfect job...

  4. I called B&R dealers in Zurich and told them that I had a gen B&R and a cornerscrew (frontside) is missing...

    They told me I should stop by with the watch and that they will have to send it in to Paris headquater for the replacement. They do not even have the screws as sparepart.

    I got the screws in my mail ... coming... not from Paris. LOL

  5. I've been considering a gen Bell & Ross Phantom for a while. Cheap reps are avaliable but none with lume, which kinda defeats the point of this design.

    There is a fantasy rep with grey (not black) details and lume though, I've just ordered one from King as a test run before I think seriously about the gen.

    Got the grey/black "fantasy" Phantom with lume. Lume is ok, but not great.

  6. I so want one of these but I'm not convinced that the rep lume looks anywhere near as good as the gen :(

    s.t. - have you posted pics at all? :)

    So sorry, that I still haven't posted them pics... to much work around here these days.

    But if you want a propper lume, you will have to relume those... it's ok, but not anywhere near the originals. Also the watch has got a few flaws... but non anyone recognised so far when mentioning my watch (even those with B&R gens on their wrists ;)... the Phantom is too limited. :cc_detective: )

  7. Pshaaa, Whatever! I'm currently using a Rep "Accu-Click" glucose meter to test my blood for crucial insulin levels! It works great!

    LOOOOL :blowup:

  8. I got so many compliments about my reps, but not one time the question if it is gen or not. I think it really depends on the combination of the watch and the one wearing it.

    If you are wearing a 50000 dollar watch, as a 23 year old kid, thats got a job at the gas station, people just might not believe you. I also see a lot of greed in business... So driving a too big car and wearing a too expensiv watch might not always be helpfull as well. So if one got the watch also as a status symbol in business, maybe one should think of a watch he really could afford as a gen and go maximum one price level up to reach the next step. People will look at you, like you deserve to wear a watch like this, cause you did a great job... If you're working at the gas station... what the heck, get whatever you like... but be prepaird for silly questions :blush:

    Just my 2 coins...

  9. Hey guys,

    Thanks for the reply. What I tried was boyling salt water, sandpaper, fire ( :blowup: ...ok just a candle) and dubbin.

    Worked out pretty well. The "not so cheap" band now looks like i've been fighting on the battlefield, but at least like I have worn the strap for the last 10 years. I'll post pics later on.

    Bleach sounds great. I just started to age that strap.
