Excellent spots - really like the Longines Grand Classiques. Thank you! Hope to try one on at an AD v soon.

Cartier Santos Dumont,

quartz, no seonds hand.

Lots of Longines Grand Classiques, 34mm, no seconds hands, quartz.

Both extremely accurate

Sixx - further to our PMs, just wanted to say thank you for making contact. Would be good to see some pics/links for future reference, as there are plenty of Carreras around with different designs.

Newbie, there is a Carrera Chrono that is quartz, nice looking piece, real accurate and only about 41-2mm if I remember rightly.

Also the Tag F1 quartz is stunning, pretty much perfect to the gen other than a colour code number on the caseback and comes in at 40mm. It also uses the same Swiss quartz movement as the gen, even down to the same battery!!

I have both if you're interested?

Also, Fakeys Cartier suggestion is very good, the pasha Seatimer is 40mm and real close to the gen. But that is an asian 21j auto. Still I'm sure WatchEden or TimeShops would do quartz versions of them. Just don't expect anywhere near the quality of the auto's or the Tag's.

Sixx

Many thanks Pan man - though I'm after smaller watches (40mm or smaller) but grateful all the same...

Cheers.

hi newbie,

look under the Watches for sale, member andy66 has those quartz watches for sale:

The other Tag that I know of is the Tag Mercedes SLR. Not very accurate. Another member has done a review of that ,please do a Search.

pan man.

Paul - this has seemed like quite an undertaking! Well done for managing the project from start to finish! What are the costs if I want one from MBW?

Paneristi - do you know the names of any quartz breitling / tag watches off the top of your head?

I have found the aquaracer and golf professional - any others?

a quartz rep of a automatic chrono is usually not accurate as the subdials spacing is usually wrong.

a quartz rep of an automatic watch will not have smooth seconds hand. so best to get a rep of a gen quartz watch if you want to go down this path.or get a rep that has no seconds hand.

have you checked tag or breitling. they have quartz models.

Thanks Fakey - I'm actually looking at a few now. The Pasha Chrono seems to be 42mm and the Santos Chrono PVD is 41.5mm.

Any other suggestions?

- I'd have to start wearing a beret and call myself 'Serge' to wear that!

I'm not quite eccentric enough to pull that number off.

Thank you for answering me though - much appreciated

That's a tough call, but I'm thinking that something like the VC art deco piece would go over well. I think it's a sharp looking watch, and It doesn't look half bad compared to the gen. I think it's a winner based on the criteria you've laid out.

Can anyone point me towards any quality quartz reps that are 40mm or smaller? The more accurate to the gen, the better. Something Chrono would be nice (so the tick movement is not very visible), or perhaps something without a second-hand on the dial....

Any ideas...?

Anyone?

This might be my first rep...

no one?

Hublot MDM Quartz

Is this a nice rep if someone is after a quartz that is smaller than 40mm?

This is the same model with PVD casing: PVD'd

Thanks.

Un-believable! Some truly stunning pieces. Need to have a better look when not at work Thanks.

Who stocks unbranded replicas?

Has the crown been modded? Looks better than most Black theme reps...

I am undecided on many things in life... Watches are one of those things.

I spend hours reading the forums, fascinated by the engineering and design excellence that goes into these things, and the concentration and skill that goes into constructing a horological masterpiece. Then I close my browser and think to myself, 'for $100 I can get a Casio that updates itself anywhere in the world by radio six times a day to split-second perfection, never requires a service, can survive pretty much anything life can through at it, and will probably last me till the day I return to my maker.'

BTW, I'm after a rep PP Aquanaut

"Patek means old money, Cartier means new money, Rolex means your plumbing supply business is doing well and Omega means your grandma is really happy you finally graduated liberal arts college"

I laughed out loud when I read that - thank you.

a member is working on a project royal oak here; you may be able to join in if you're interested.

all the best,

Many thanks, Delta - great spot! I saw that thread, but I'm not looking to buy without seeing photos of the finished product. Thanks again though!

Let me see if I understand... Either we vote, or else you'll peel off your lady's stickies... How's that supposed to be an incentive to vote!?!

Thanks Edgematic - great site. But I'm still only seeing gold on silver. (Great Avatar though!!!)

Personally, I'm not looking to mod... Looking for silver on silver straight out of the box.

Indy - we are after silver screws - I understand MBK has gold screws...

Sorry, I meant MBK.

I think the 15202 (no second hand on face) may have gold screws, but the 15300 (WITH sec hand) is normally silver on silver. I could be wrong though - however, the AP site depicts the 15300 as silv on silv.

Precious Time does a nice version from what I can see on the site, but I understand it is not as good as MBK (doesn't have brushed steel and other refinements). I've been told that the PT one may not actually be Swiss ETA as described... Thats not PTs fault, only what he is told/printed on the movement.

Stay in touch - hopefully someone will chime in with how we can get hold of one of these beauties.... The Offshore versions are gorgeous - cannot understand why no one has released as accurate a replica for the 15300 AP RO.

A trusted dealer told me the WMK vers was the best out there - I thought it looked good (brushed steel esp!), but I don't know too much bout reps. Only reason I didn't go for it was because I don't like gold screws on the silver bezel, and they don't do silver on silver. Have never seen WM9 vers so cannot comment.

Pls keep me uptodate with your findings...

Can one get an MBK AP RO Jumbo in silver with silver bezel screws?
