if its crap then its a waste of $108 which is no small change, ie could be a part payment of a more expensive watch. is this build quality problem the same with all the cheap Explorer I from the various dealers? Has anyone else ordered an Explorer I from Josh?

$700 -$1000 is SILLY money for a SIMPLE rep like a standard Chanel J12. Considering the accuracy that we enjoy with more complicated watches, think Ebel 1911 Discovery Chrono and WM9 Submariner. Its not to much ask the factories to print the Chanel in BOLD rather than charging buyers $$$ for a simple change, not like we asking for more accurate bezel or shaped collar guards which require LOTS more work than changing ONE FONT. Comments anyone?

Is this an accurate rep of the Chanel original? Looking at the gen, at 12 o'clock isn't the "Chanel" supposed to be BOLD Does anyone know where you can a sensibly priced Chanel rep where the dial face is accurate? Cheers P_Diddy

Has anyone noticed in the main pic of the white 1911 Discovery, the rep has black subdials whilst the one BT is pictured wearing has blue subdials. Are these the same reps?

is 'striping' the thread something that is exclusive to reps or does it apply equally to gens?

I have read the post and have another question: "overused" means how often? I may need to adjust the time at least once a week, as some reps will be running +/- 20 seconds per day and the rep will be +/- 3 minutes a week. 'Cautions adjust the time on these models only if absolutely necessary. The cannon pinion (clutch between the motion works and the crown) is not very good and can and will slip if overused. Symptoms of a cannon pinion slippage is that the watch will apparently loose time when in fact the cannon pinion clutch is slipping, the movement runs on time, but the hands dont indicate the correct time.'

Hi, A question about the rep Ebel 1911 Discovery Chrono specifically and also other rep chronos that use the Asian 7750 movement: This was taken from Trusty's website Q&A section: "A11. To avoid damaging the delicate mechanisms of the Valjoux 7750b1 movement you need to follow the instructions listed below to take care of it: If your Valjoux 7750b1 has DATE function, DO NOT ADJUST the date when your time is between 10pm to 3am. It will damage the internal gears unknowingly if you do that. The BEST WAY is to manually adjust the time to 6am and then adjust the DATE after that. IS THIS TRUE? Comments??? Thanks for your views P_Diddy

Hi, To all the members who have bought from Eden Watches: 1) What was your overall experience like? 2) Is there shipping speedy and reliable [most reps are listed as free worldwide shipping] 3) The prices are very reasonable but what is the quality of the reps like, do you really GET what you PAID for? Thanks for your view/opinions P_Diddy

Hi, the old gen Rolex GMT had a line under the Rolex symbol on the crown. Can someone confirm on the newer gen Rolex GMT with ceramic bezel, is it three dots or a line under the Rolex symbol on the crown? Thanks P_Diddy

is there an update to this, I assume it related to the Ebel watch?

Hi has anyone safely removed the black enamel from " Chopard" on the clasp? thanks

Anyone tried removing the black ink in the "Chopard" logo on the clasp? How can I safely do that without damaging the stainless steel finish? thanks

Hi, I am a Panerai noob and wanted to know if anyone bought the following PAM models[PAM111, PAM005] specifically from Trusty. Are these PAMs supplied by Trusty accurate compared to the gen or are there significant flaws which require modding? http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...;products_id=94 http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...;products_id=78 Which PAM model that comes with stainless steel bracelet, would be recommended for a Panerai noob? Thanks P_Diddy

who are DSN and LH and where can I get their details Will either DSN or LH have any problems shipping to UK? thanks

what does the rep bracelets taper from to? thanks

Hi, I am slowly warming to the Panerai brand after visiting an AD over the weekend and was impressed particularly with PAM244 GMT and PAM241 and are there any reviews of these two rep models? Both rep model come with either leather or rubber strap and I can't wear leather straps due to 'sweating' on wrists. My questions are: 1) Are the rep rubber straps an accurate clone of the gen rubber strap, in terms of feel and durability? How much do the good rep rubber straps cost? 2) Is the stainless bracelet available with some PAM models, an accurate clone of the gen stainless steel bracelet? 3) Panerai watches seem 'simpler' when compared to other brands, particularly for dial and bezel, is there much difference between Panerai reps supplied by different rep dealers. Thanks for your opinions... P_Diddy

Hi, does anyone have photos of the quartz movements used in gen watches. are gen quartz movements used in reps or are clones of quartz movements used? Thanks P_Diddy

Hi, this question is being aimed at the Modders who build their own franken watches: Seiko movements are very reliable, would it practical to use the Seiko diver watch movement and will it fit into a rep sub case? If it does fit [with adjustment], then replacement hands, dial and bezel would be required to make a reliable rep sub, has anyone tried this? Thanks for your comments/opinions
