WOW, nice! Thanks for the comparison!

There is one. I believe it was introduced last year. The only thing I could tell it's rep was the shape of the crown. The genuine one has flat top, whereas the rep has a little bit more round top. The sapphire crystal may have slight different shape maybe. Other than that, the only way you can tell is opening the case back.

I often wonder. Suppose someone bought a gen, and then bought a rep. He/she could put the rep for sale with all the gen packaging for the price of gen... Not ethical at all, but I could almost see someone would be attempted since the rep looked quite convincing.

Mine also has sapphire crystal. When I put my watch at the same angle as the watch in the auction, the numbers (6 and 9) didn't look the same. That's why I suspected.

Maybe I'm over my head. For some reason, this RXW MM20 doesn't look 100% genuine to me. The crown guard and crown look funny to me, also the kind of distortion seems wrong when I compare it with mine.

What do you think? I can't believe the price for this going up so much!

It's black dial. The blue hue on the anti-reflective coating make the dial look blue at a certain angle. It's one of my favorite watch. Very well made.

Got it! Thanks again Pete!

Picture worth thousand words! Thanks man! Now I know

Well, you can change the looks and 360 view of the watch

lip? You mean the dial underneath of the actual dial or?

Thanks!

The buckle can be replaced with a Rolex one. The key thing is the quality of the bracelet in my opinion.

What do you think this one? This is from a Debaufre Ocean 1 watch.

To start, you can get a ETA 7754 new on the bay for $320

Thanks Pete! Does this mean I will have to file 0.7mm off the gen dial to make it fit into a rep case?

Another project??? I think it will have to wait until next year I have 3-4 projects that are already open, so I'm stuck with them for now.

If you like to do one, feel free my friend

Sunken dw can be fixed by gluing another dw, but it seems to me it's a lot more harder than just gluing because you'll have to make one dw thin.

I think it should fit. Especially if a genuine dial is installed (in case if the sub dial spacing is different on the rep dial)

You think it will fit?

Additional mechanism for the gmt hand scares me. I wonder if we can put in a eta 7754 movement in this watch. Any thoughts?

If you search Breitling in itunes, you will find a free app for Breitling B01. It's pretty neat, especially if you don't have the watch

Nice! I know I can download Panerai app for my iphone and ipod. It may work on this one also... Square virtual Panerai... this will be hot!

I feel bad for his person issues. I really do. It's just that it's also kind of rude with no reply at all (I'm sure I'm not alone on this) even after he said he was back. I'm not expecting him writing me a novel. I would at least hope him sending a short reply saying something like "I'm currently busy with other stuff, I will check with you later" or something like that. True, life is more important that watches, but we really can't use that excuse all the time. I wish I can but I can't. Please understand it's really not about watches, it's about how we do business. No one would like to go into any business when knowing there could be any potential communication issues (both as seller and buyer). I certainly don't want to pay him and then hope communications will continue afterward or hold any of my stuff for him and expect him to pay me soon. Not doing business with him is strictly my personal choice. I'm not telling anybody what to do. We are all grown up here, you make your own decisions.

I sincerely hope Concepta will over come his personal issues soon.

As for my IWC 3717, it's just another watch. Looks pretty decently out of the box. I have no problems wearing it as it is. This is my only watch that is not a Breitling or Omega, so most of time it sits in my watch box.

Guys,

Could you please tell me what Navitimer's dial diameter is? I'm looking for the model with 6-9-12 subdial arrangement.

Thanks!

I think it's the same one Sead has on sale for $375 + shipping from US.

Thanks R!

This is nice! I've been wanting one of these for a while now!
