  1. Thats true John,99.9% of the people you meet will not have a clue about this watch. Most people i know have never heard of UN,Ulysess who? But I understand your disapoinmeant In reguards to the dial color. I only have one white dial rep,Breitling SA. I asked Josh If the dial was white or silver,he said that "It was difinitely white" he was right. I dont why the factories have such a hard time with white/silver dials oh well, thanks again for your review Mike
  2. I dont know very much about vintage collectables but a pocket watch thats over a 120 years old must be of some value. What that value is Im not sure but Im looking foward to seeing some pics. Sounds like a beautiful piece of history
  3. Hey John,thanks for sharing your thoughts,good job I have the black dial version that I really like.The few flaws that the rep has dosent realy bother me at all. Overall I think It's a very well made rep. I try not to get to anal about the Inperfections and enjoy the watch. I can drive myself crazy about the smallest flaws at times. I also noticed that the gens second sub dial has a cut out at the 60 for the pinion. It took me several side by sides to see this. I hope you enjoy your new watch,It's a beauty Mike
  4. I have had mine for almost a year(9-25-09) and It still keeps very good time,just as good as the day I purchased It
  5. I have a Sector no limits quartz that I have had for about ten years, Im pretty sure that Sector Is made In Italy. Ok I have to throw It out there, Panerai?
  6. As far as I know there Is only one version of the Super Avenger BS,that Is It.
  7. I think the smell your thinking about Is fishy
  8. Im sure someone will snag this soon,nice find
  9. I think It's a great Idea and wish you well with your project. I really cant think of any suggestions,maybe age the hands/dial
  10. Most of are trusted dealers should have the best versions of the Sinn,give Josh at Perfect Clones a try,good luck
  11. Imho you would enjoy the 23j maxi much more than the quartz
  12. Officina Del Tempo.. Luminox... Gino Franco thats about it from me
  13. It's funny,not ha ha funny but strange. Sometimes I get the notifications sometimes I dont,weird
  14. These are difficult questions to answer. So I will just tell you what my favorite reps are. My breitling SA blue dial and Raymond Weil Nabucco. I have many nice reps but these two are very accurate and are of very good quality.
  15. Your welcome,looking foward to your review Sorry about the hijack Cougaree
  16. The prices are as good as there going to get. The good news Is that you will most likely get your moneys worth,good luck
  17. Smart move, to damage a gen would be devastating , to damage a rep would be disappointing ,big difference
  18. I would have to say that the UN maxi Is the best rep for the money that I own,excellent replication I do think the gens are grossly over priced for what you get. But I feel that way about many gens. That being said It Is a very nice watch, It has better than average ar and lume and the ss bracelet that came with mine Is also very nice. I soaked mine In mineral oil over night and used some light sandpaper to smooth out the edges,smooth as butter baby The exhibition caseback Is also done very well. The movement Isn't spot on of course but they did a nice job non the less. The bezel Is also nice and tight with steady firm clicks. The 23j movement keeps very good time with the a nice smooth sweeping second hand.let us know what you think of yours when you get It. I really dont think you can buy a better rep for the money,hope this helps Mike
