Well, I reported it to ebay. I'd hate to see someone pay $5,000 for this beauty.

Is this the same model, cuz this one looks gen:http://cgi.ebay.com/Audemars-Piguet-Royal-Oak-Offshore-Rubber-Clad-BNIB_W0QQitemZ270305147492QQcmdZViewItem

Did anyone report it yet? It looks fake, but I really don't know the nuances of AP watches. The number on the back refers to the "end of days" model, the caseback screws look cheap, the bezel screws look cheap and poorly aligned, the metal bracelet links look sloppy, and I don't see a magnifier on the date window, etc, etc....

Good outlook on this. Luckily, I haven't received my euromariner yet (still being finished and QC'ed). I've emailed Chris several times as I monitored this thread, sometimes frantically, but Chris has been very professional with his responses (albeit a little slow 24-48hours on avg.)(Chris must think I am a little loony as the content of my emails progressively became more paranoid). I really think Chris values his clients and business so in the end everyone will be happy, no doubt. As soon as I get my watch I will review and let everyone know what too expect. He has admitted that he had a bad batch and dropped the ball on the QC. I don't blame you guys for being cranky about what you got from Chris at all but give him some time on this.

Bingo! Good post cht! Although I am sure if given enough time, Chris will sort this all out. After all, all the noobs like me came here looking for the "best sub" right? I'd guess that Chris's high volume seller is the submariner/noobmariner/euromariner and he'd like to continue to sell lots of them especially with the wm9 v2 coming out soon. Chris is still working on my euromariner (v4), I told to take all the time he needs to make it worthy of the euromariner/eurotimez reputation so will shall see... I'll be happy to give my impressions once I get (probably in the next month).

How did you take tension out of the clasp and what type oil?

Just take it to the local mall kiosk, they'll fix it no problem.

It seems that the mercury level is low, you might want to top it off a bit.

Well, do you like it?

Why? I ordered mine SOH 46 on the rubber strap from trusty on Nov 13 and received it on Nov 19 to the US. Watch arrived well packed and in perfect shape. I cannot stress how good this watch looks. Being new to the rep game I was very skeptical about how good a replica can be, but I was thrilled when I got this SOH. The AR is good with a nice blue tint, the watch is large but not monstrous. The finish on the steel is perfectly polished and the watch has a heavy solidness that makes it feel like a gen.

I pull teeth, amongst other things.

I ordered a black SOH base from trusty last week (the new version with the eta clone on rubber) and should have it soon. I will post some pics. I tend to stay away from 7750 reps, I never use the chrono functions and its more stuff to get broken. If the SOH looks good, I'm going to get this for it: Mesh

Can you give a mini review?

I like the Tissot. Unfortunately, everytime I see a Tissot, I think of these:

iwc da vinci automatic vintage 1969 Brutal

They are being replicated. But it apparently it is super secret and we can't buy them as reps. I don't know too much about this though, perhaps someone else could chime in. If there is demand enough already to sell these fakes as genuine, why not sell the fakes as fakes?

Nanuq, I love this choice! How hard would the bezel crystal to replicate?

That is a classy watch!

Could the mods please correct my spelling in the title? Thanks.

My number one wish watch is the Omega Seamaster 300 166.0324 from Omega website or this variant unknown source- if you took this photo- NICE JOB! I've read here that a lot of these that come up for sale are indeed reps, but not from china. I think there would be a high demand for this watch.

Fake! crown guards are wrong shape!

I see this 1:1 description used only on certain versions of replicas sold by very respected dealers on this site. That's why I wanted to know it's significance. So it is safe to say that 1:1 is just a marketing superlative like "supreme" or "perfect" or "best" or "ultimate", but in certain instance it can denote a relative ease of interchangeability between a rep and a gen?

I just ordered the same except V4. I don't think we will be disappointed.

Hey-Thanks for the guidance. I've decided to go with the new Euromariner v4 ETA from Eurotimez. Chris was very helpful and generous. I hope to take some nice pics when I get it (with NATO strap). It really was a toss up between the SW9 and Euromariner.

Does this mean that the replica and genuine have interchangeable parts (bezel, crystal, etc)? Or that dimensions are identical? I couldn't find the answer elsewhere.
