Mr.Majestyk

Any word on the glitches?....

cheers. MM

Great - thank you 

Hello, I'm trying to work out why a sale I posted yesterday, hasn't shown up when I refresh the page - am I doing something wrong?

I'm a VIP member.

I'm really puzzled...thanks.

What's not to love about the 47mms?...

I'll have a similar collection...soon.......I hope......L  L

But mine will be a 422, 217 & 249 in the mix......

Love the pics!!! 

FMs are so underrated - some are over the top but some are awesome!

I've been thinking about one of these for a while - if it's a keeper with SWISS mvmnt & you invested $1.7K on a Gen bracelet it must be amazing quality & as close to Gen without buying a Gen.....who did you buy it from?

I'm looking at this from TT.

DUDE!!! I sympathise with your angst!!

I have held a GEN 422 & a REP 372 side by side & the quality of the rep is unbelievable! 

At the same time there's the "lefty" 557  (372 Destro), 127, 217, 368...

I bought a 217 many, many years ago & it was awesome!! I regret selling it - but I needed the funds...

The 422 & 372 for that matter feel "smaller" than the 47mm suggests too, so for me it's an ideal size.

good luck!

Nice!!!!

When I have the extra cash - definitely my next purchase. I agree - been wanting a SUPER 249 Rep for years....

I had a similar build many years ago - sweet looking piece!! 

You can take it to any watch maker to look at…I'm in Melbourne Vic…PM me & I can point you in the right direction

When can we see some destro 557 love from our friendly suppliers?….

Love a LEFTY!!!

Does anyone know of any member with a spare CALI dial? (Before I post a WTB).

I recently received a message from him - so I think he's alive, busy with work & only just resurfacing into the Rep World….

I've recently seen a couple of GEN Calis & are beautiful.

Any finished projects from the 100 on the original list?

From the few messages I've had with Marlin & super impressed with his advice & help - it's his work which speaks for itself. Not exactly my cup of tea - but DAMN!!

One of my grails the 217 - all I can say - OMG!! Beeea utiful!!

Really?... No reply here.?..

I thought there'd be quite a few members experienced with a CALI build..

So....

I've been a lover of the Cali dial for a long time & recently saw a watch in the big 47mm radiomir case & found it totally wearable....

All this has re-ignited my "need" for a CALI dial 3646 / PAM249 / PAM 448 etc.....

This all brings me to decision time.

Do I just bite the bullet & buy an out-of the box CALI? or do I have one built?I've asked a similar Q on another forum, although a little more slanted asking members their experiences with DSN's 249 - and for the most part they've been good. I'm just not all that convinced about his dial & hands though as well as the lume combo....  

For an outta the box - best version, who would you recommend?

For a built one - who would you recommend?

My pre-requisites are:

*matching dial & hand vintage/patina/ not pure-white LUME, correct hand-shape 

*sapphire crystal on front (although am beginning to think there's no such thing in the REP world), may need to be a high dome plexi & plexi exhibition back.

*Swiss Movement (I have read that an A-6497 is just as good & could save myself $200-$300), but if I'm going the whole way, I'd rather a SWISS, I believe a 6497 is virtually the same as a 6498 (different sun-seconds placement - not applicable here). I've been researching movements & can find some re-branded movements which would do the job I beleive.....

*correct - as close to gen shaped case...

Decisions, decisions...

Would love any or all your help.

Cheers...MM

Nice collection!

I've had a DSN 232 & it was fantastic - am now on the hunt for a CALI....hmmmmm.

Love the "exploded" pic!

So glad to read you know what you're doing!

If I took mine apart - I'd end up with extra bits & pieces all over the place.

As a thought, would you (RWG-members) swap out the movement for a SWISS 6497 & just have the plates glued on that?....

Just had a thought.....hmmmm ULTIMATE 372 here we come - LOL.

(This hobby'll be the end of me! LOL)

Here is a wrist shot of the pt.co 372. I think it's pretty damn nice.

I agree - great value for the money too & and damn sexy! Still really impressed with it....

I think the same about the strap, but just this morning, as I was winding it, I noticed the stock-strap is becoming more supple & wearable - long term who knows how it will feel, but for the moment until I can afford another one, It'll have to do.

All those still on the fence - just take the leap! You won't regret it.

DARK CHOC looks sweeeet!

I am trying to decide my next PAM: 127, 217 or 249?....

"...just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in...."

Can't go wrong - it's CLASSIC!

Not a big fan of the AMMO or vinatge straps, a nice BLACK buffalo or croc would look good - conservative but classy.

Wear it well mate!

I just went to the perfect clones web-site & went through the ordering process. Very simple & straight forward!

All $s are listed there - Very simple. Good luck! 

Yes I read your post, so your iPhone magically shrunk your wrist and extended the lugs and a part of the case?

...well it kind of did...it's called "OPTICAL ILLUSION"... you should read up on it! May learn somethin'!

I dunno about you, but I live in a 3-D world where, unless you have a super terrific camera with an amazing lens which captures depth of field 100% accuaretly, there will always be room for interpretation in photographs, especially from a phone - NOT a camera, a phone.

Here's a more "accurate" scale photo, yet still looks like the lugs hang over my wrist, but the top of lugs are flush with the width of my wrists. Trust me!

Also, if your wrists are as straight as you "drew" on my photo, then I'd go & see a doctor!

And no I didn't ask for your opinion on wrist size - in fact it doesn't matter to me in the S-L-I-G-H-T-E-S-T what you think.

i just wanted to share my excitement at receiving this piece, which I am certain will become a favourite among us with such a quick turn-around.

I think it's THAT good (...for a REP)....not a GEN, a REP....

Personally I think it's too big for your wrist. The lugs are way beyond your wrist..

Did you even read my post?.....

"By the way I got too close with my phone & it looks like I have girly wrists - LOL     :pardon:"
