If you hold on something is in the works.. you could save a ton of $$.. we'll see .... AC Lani

And then . . . I woke up

Swiss Made

I'll try and do pics with the cracelt along side an MBW.. I'd love to put this on my modded watches.. . . On to the next watch

there's hope for the Breitlings ?????? you da man .. man.... members in OZ are gonna have chiefs ar'd xtals before us.. we need one of those in the US.. AC Lani

yeah .. wheaton.. where ya been mon ... AC Lani

that has yet to be proven.. it is not a MBK clone though .. it is what it is.. the bezel insert that I use in my MBK's works perfectly in the new rep.. but the test will come in the crystal and possibly a ND dial.. but so far so good... we'll see.. one step at a time.. AC Lani

Go here for the review... Joshua's 1665 rep

there ya go again plai.... ya drove right by the thread ... . . . I posted it sometime ago Ma Man AC Lani

Guns and Roses ~ Hey P... paragraph association.... ...

Hey Col... Can you post like the rest of the free world ?? and just post the pic or pics... That is toooooo cooooooool... my favs are the pool shot.. and the dinner shot.. awwww shoot all of them are priceless... AC Lani

I can only wish it were one of the vintage models.. but *sigh* it is not.. I'll post the pics of the choices... AC Lani

Thank you Frank.. haha.. what happened was my battery in the camera died..I'll have more pics tomorrow.. it was poorly overcast today without much natural lighting.. the mid links are hollow.. and what I like is the play in the links.. like the looseness of the genuine's.. I may take this bracelet and put it on one of my modded watches for now.. the bracelet is definitely and improvement over all other reps.. my MBK's are very heavy... and I put genuines on my favs.. but this is alot cheaper than 700 usd per bracelet..your gonna love the bracelet F. !!!!! agree on the dial.. and yes,.. I have seen pics of as you say "over polished" cases where the lug holes appear lower not much though.. but what this offers is ... if you are like me and want to start doing CG's or tooling with the rep.. a 198 usd loss is not as bad as a 450-500 usd loss.. granted it's still a loss if I mess up.. but I won't stress as much.. in other words the "pressure will be minimal in my mind.. so I'll be more relaxed if I work on the mods.....

Actually the cheap dies fit right onto bottom of the Horotec (friction)..I don't need to screw them down.. that's all I need to pop "out" the larger Pams.. the die that I use to reinstall doesn't have to go all the way to the edge..and the plastic dies are the only way to travel..as I believe you noted once awhile back Out of all the reps the Pams. Omega's and Breitlings have the tightest fits.. but those are the reps that we seem to AR the most.. btw.. the rolex GMTII is on it's way to ya... hopefully this time .. it'll work out.. just some labor involved in removing that beautiful AR.. except for under the mag itself.. that is the only area that will remain after I'm done... (hopefully) thanks J but the biggest I need is for the Pam's and I have that.. I have the huge 60mm Pam on the way but that doesn't need AR .. but thank you for the offer... AC L

Congratulations freddy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your GMTIIC has come full circle!! and I am happy for ya it is what makes this part of our hobby so rewarding..gratifying .. fulfilling..after all the frustration and attempts and discussion to finally get a .. *cough* genuine... Especially for you one of the masters of detail in the community !! My rep crystal is on it's way to Cali.. fingers and toes crossed I can come close to what you are wearing now.. .. I think the hardest part for me will be attaching the cyclops back onto the crystal.. the rest will be just labor.. So again, congrats.. on that fine AR'd mag.. oops.. I mean AR'd underside of the crystal below the mag.. AC lani

the same thought occurred to me regarding the lug holes.. AC Lani

I'll join Ubi with the IWC St. E. chief AR ~ HK gator

"Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't"

Thanks R.. I didn't take many pics of the dial today.. my focus was on the case .. it's a given that these vintage dials will not come close to the genuine.. dunno why .. we all have theories .. but the bottom line is even the ND dial price at 3 to 4 hundred is not spot on .. this rep with all the "advertising" that goes with it.. "is what it is" for 198 usd.. a good deal for some.. but how many vintage reps have you found to be great "out of the box" ?? AC Lani

Nanuq.. you were spot on !! This is a cheapo .. wholesale outlet insert.. but it did the trick .. the original rep insert was conical.. Ok so at least we know the specs for the bezel and crystal size are correct ... this is the same insert that fits the same in my MBK..

thank you B ! hmmm I see what you mean about the insert being too conical.. I tried to flatten it.. It's not cooperating.. mmm.. think I'll pull it our and try another insert..it could be the thickness of the crystal .. dunno .. I'll try pulling the insert out... If it's the lugs.. sent feed back on that ...gotta be something else you see .. AC L

Trusty and Perfect have the same line.. even if you got it elsewhere.. no big .. post your results.. AC Lani

Tommy Tutone 2

Ok.. we'll start this soon ..(he said that before)

Love it B.. !!!!! O/s is getting some Chinese versions in.. but the screw down is so nice.. even pressure throughout the crystal.. you do need some bigger dies though.. I got bigger ones on the bay.. for the Pams etc. AC Lani
