perfect 60 clicks .. lines up 100% dead on W...

OK, I won't tellyou it's sitting too low

end links too low.. not understanding the meaning ???

It was well worth the wait as the bracelet came out BRILLIANTLY !!!! IMO it transforms the Slevin into a different timepiece altogether... this will get MAX wrist time now I think I'll wear it awhile before deciding on modding.. day-date first.. some pics...

Silix will have the same case.. but there will be another replication made from a genuine heritage.. worth the wait ... IMHO after seeing the differences in the rep from silix and the genuine pics.. the Rep. made from genuine will be out shortly (hopefully) and it should be double AR as the SOSF is everyone already knows but I believe this is a remake of the 1957 model correct measurements are 46mm and 38 mm

Brown and blue dial colours are way off... clasp is totally incorrect (not engraved) and crown is too round, case back ... stay tuned ... Patience GENUINE PICS ..... correct straps and bracelet (woven steel) wonder if they will rep this..would be cool ... big difference in the genuine crown .. quite a difference **** correct measurements are 46 mm and 38 mm ... Breitling emblem is not engraved .... another view of the crown IMHO.. i would see what the replication made with the genuine copy will look like, i'd like the divers strap and the woven steel .. leather is the same as SOSF..

I believe the markers on the submersible genuine may have some kind of srew insert (??) thought i read that on this form and I think Honpo may have inlays for some models .. anyway the dial coming I think came out after yours.. but it would be funny if they were the same..

Very handsome looking piece of art DL... live strong and wear that beauty well..

My buddy had it happen to his Omega SMP chrono.. (genuine) .. I've had it happen to me when i wasn't paying attention to what i was doing.. when this happens to others that don't know this, they usually claim faulty movement.. so out of habit weather it be Chrono or sweep second movement I alway's take the hands to the proper 5:30 before adjusting the day-date

Some additional 7750/7750b1/7753 Valjoux Movement Information*Please read them before u play with your watch that has above movement 1. How do you set date on 7750 or 7753 or 7750b1 or any movt with date chrono/ automatic? Do not activate the chrono until you have done all these steps as mentioned When you receive your piece, please remember to handwind the piece for about maybe 50 rounds, so to generate enough power reserve. Then you shake the piece like a "mad cow" for 3-4 minutes to generate more power reserve (If necessary) Then pull the crown out to adjust the hour hand manually to determine when is am/pm. See the date change - then you will know when is am/ pm. Make sure you know when is am/ pm before you proceed Make sure you do not adjust the date between 10pm-3am ever!!! Do not ask me why because it just works this way. if you adjust between 10pm-3am, the date will jam or go half way. After u have confirmed the am/ pm

1. Your chrono hands need only be engaged when actually using the chrono.. 2. wind the chrono only to start it if it's an auto movement using the crown to constantly wind the timepiece could damage the movement... refer to ziggy's thread for a more expert answer 3. your power reserve should be 48 hours on full mainspring power.. that is if the mainspring is at full 'reserve" 4. A7750 are supposed to be a better movement than the 7750 .. sometimes with reps it's just the luck of the draw.. there are different chronographs for different proffesions.. do a search for this.. ** if you do have a chrono movement with day-date or just date.. never adjust the date wheel with out finding the proper am - pm @5:30 or you may do irreputable dammage to the movement all our rep movement are 100% more efficient when serviced properly as the makers don't always service them properly.. again refer to Ziggy's thread Questions aren't dumb.. just ....LIVE STRONG AND WEAR IT WELL

Rep is not accurate .. tag link is your best TAG..

the rose gold with dia. may be a limited. this is supposedly the original release from Hublot ? the fist rep to be released last year... colour is lighter than the Genuine IMO .. seems darker in this pic

Genuine Omega crowns are more flush where the logo is located.. this is the correct rep size .. as compared with the genuine after swap with the rep crown on the UPO and SMP also The genuine crwon on the po is on the top, the rep crown below... notice the difference in the apex of the crown .. the genuine is flatter Sorry takashi this is the UPO i have posted...ma bad..

Hammer.. take a look at the markings on the bezel.. do they seem inlay-ed to you one this rep ?? and is yours similar or does yours appear to be glued or just flush with the bezel ??

I have basically 1 strap I like on a given Panerai rep..if i was limited to one choice it would have to be gator.. maybe there are those who cannot make up their minds... and now to the topic at hand.. well, i wasn't taking about "new hands' i was talking more of colour given the hands are correct ... and if correcting the colour is the problem,... then I don't really see a permanant problem.. as we do have the best ...Horologist/Modder I honestly don't know if this is by the same maker as the rep you have.. so we shall see..

the next best thing is to view the genuine and the rep side by side.. which i did.. but again, the lighting could be off on one side and variables play into the pic... soooo we shall see.. i'll hold my comments on what I thought of the comparison until mine arrives.. @Hammertime.. yes your observations are shared.. but your obsession with the metal band is intriguing ... i like both and the right leather strap really adds contrast and style IMHO Edit: The hands can alway's be modded it's the dial and case back that we are really concerned with, no ????

the Panerai members on the forum have far more technical knowledge than myself, but a piciture say's a thousand words and to compare this 252 with the genuine.. so any members with multiple shots of the genuine 252 (jdkno) and others your pics could be of great use.. I have taken pics of my friends Genuine 252 .. but gave my word I would not post them on "any" forum.. i can use it for my own comparison and that's it.. it should arrive here on thursday or friday at the latest..

Yes .. it's release has been very "low key", as I stated, this is by the makers of the HBB and other very good replications .. not by the makers of the submersibles that came out last year ... we will judge for ourselves as to it being the "ultimate" (is there such a thing) the 252 .. latest version and hopefully the last is on its way to Hawaii .. in about 4 day's we will see what we will see... I am curious to see if the makers have done a better job with the date font and the rest of the 252 than the makers of the 092 did.. Until then .. we: "Hurry up and wait"

Well,.. the only way to be sure is to have a replication in hand which will happen at the ending of this week hopefully as the Hliday in the US will not affect China EMS... lookedat a genuine yestersday.. Joshua's pics does appear to have the running seconds does appear to be recessed but we'll have to await the arrival of the Rep. ... As far as the dial colour ,.. again the Rep, will tell all in person... these like most collectors pics are colour enhanced etc. so it's alway's hard to really define the true colour.. I do have hopes as this is the same maker as the HBB ; Aquatimer .... this Sub is not from the makers who were doing the replications of the Submersibles last year which were in part kind of dissapointing,... the makers of the HBB .... IMO.. are coming out with some exellent replications .. so with that said i hopr this sumersible holds up to their standards.. if it does then we can expect something very different than what we saw last year..

Sweet !! LIVE STRONG AND WEAR IT WELL

I could not find another post .. so ,... any thought's on the North Pole 252 North Pole w/correct Blue dial ? the Blue dials seem to be the hardest to replicate.. Joshua's Pic: edit.. going to take a look at the genuine .. this replication looks good though . the markers seem to be inlayed and not just glued on.. L swiss seems correct ... be back..

Hublot SS Omega PO Omega Speedmaster Date

looking good avitt.. crisp .. can't wait to get the HBB bezels for you to see what you can do..

Yes UB.. I thought i posted and edit to this fact.. ( the knurled side ) the request was made to my collector to "request" the knurled version of this bezel if the knurled version pre-PVD that would be the best.. but I will keep avitt informed and let's hope for the best..
