Can't seem to find any info on this model anywhere:

Tag Heuer Formula 1

I have a 6 1/4" wrist and mine fits perfectly with 2 holes to spare? Strap came from Narikka...

I have the MBW version. This is one 40mm watch which fits me to a T, which speaks volumes on the original Patek design.

The MBW is not a jumbo, it's the 38mm. I get so confused with PP sizes. Some say they measure their watches diagonally instead of across (I think?) actually making what they call 40mm, a 42mm compared to the standard.

This makes sense as everyone seems to believe the "40mm" is large enough...

Awesome watch btw!

Hey guys. Looking to pick up my dad's first rep for him and am pretty well decided on an Aeronavle. Want to get the correct model without the date, not a Transatlantique with Aeronavle engraving on caseback.

The only place I could find exactly what I'm looking for is at Watcheden, but it seems a bit expensive:

Breguet Aeronavle w/ leather strap- Watcheden

From what I can tell, the rep looks darn good. Only thing I could see are some differences with the numbers that are hidden by the subdials. Any other comments or advice on this rep, as well as any other sources?

lol, the clunker looks darn good to me. I used to have a gen, and can definitely attest to some small differences in the V1 that trump the V3 (which I currently have).

Can't wait to see it completed with the gen dial though. She looks pristine, and will definitely make it a whole new watch!

It depends on whether you're happy with the size. If you've been content with it thus far... then consider keeping it. The 42mm PO has a lug width of 20mm btw.

If you think you could do with an extra 3mm... then I would definitely contact your dealer asap.

(This is of course assuming you have a 42)

Ugly IS Ugly.

Where's my 1:1 PO?

Reg is the man, I ordered 2 of his last batch,........really amazing pieces

Are these the same as the $100 PO's that WBK (Stan) gets?

Can't... Wait... Any... Longer!

Hmmm, member name "lkbasewatch"

First post is advertising "lkbase.com"

Maybe you should solicit elsewhere...

EDIT: Also interesting that the item description on www.lkbase.com for the quantum of solace is copied and pasted from Josh's (Perfect Clones) website:

Perfect Clones Quantum of Solace

lkbase Quantum of Solace

Ran into this Overseas Chronograph browsing the web for pics and thought it was pretty cool. Limited edition of 100 produced last year.

This one here?

If you love the watch and want to put a Swiss movement in it, have one of the forum modders put an aftermarket movement in. That way you know what exactly goes into your watch and not some Little White Lie.

+1

Getting a gen crystal is almost impossible, since this model is a Limited Edition

Ur picks:

#1, 2 and 3 are the exact same watches

But i would stick to #1 or 2 since they're from trusted dealers

U might be interested in this one from Josh..

#3 (nicereplica.com) is also a trusted dealer... that's Ruby's website. Definitely wouldn't go with #4.

Awesome write-up. Even more so because now I know I definitely would not have been able to do this myself...

Font is definitely much better, but as you said, what the heck were they thinking with that engraving??

There is another version that came out trying to fix a few flaws, Clicky!

This one has a better looking caseback, with a better font and a more realistic "Limited Edition" serial number

But the laser engraving on the crystal looks worse imo

So what is the concensus on the best rep of this watch

And the dial doesn't have those dimples on it...

See link and pic of rep a few posts up. That's the only version of the "quantum of solace" with dimples I've seen. Although there are some obvious incorrect markings.

This one that you were originally after:

Ruby sells them, Omega Seamaster Quantum of Solace

REP:

Back a few years ago, there were some fantastic TW based classic Royal Oaks; nice thin case with correct shape/taper, perfect transition into the bracelet... Sadly, those pieces are long gone.

This is one such example:

Wow, that is an awesome piece. Any more info on it that might help me begin the hunt of tracking one down? The hunt is the fun part of course...

sorry bad news, you'll never find them.

Looks like a basic RO Date Auto it is. I ran a search but didn't find much info on these either.

The reps I'm seeing sold by the usual suspects look pretty good. Any feedback on something like this: AP RO Date

I can't seem to find reps of pretty much any of the non-offshore AP RO's. I'd really like to find one of these:

Or this:

Or even this:

Are the movements too difficult to rep on all of these?

I've checked up on all the sources I can find for ETA 7750's from Ofrei to eBay. Are there any reputable sources for ETA 7750's around the eBay prices, high $200's low $300's? I just don't trust these eBay guys from replacing ETA parts with asian parts, regardless of their positive feedback.

Best magic trick of all, check out that disappearing serial #. I've emailed the seller asking if this is just a bad picture, but it looks pretty fishy to me.

If it is a gen, and it looks to be one, I can't say I've ever seen one so beat up. Seems like someone got hungry and decided to go after that strap. Then take a look at all the dirt around the back casing.

WOW...
