Hey guys, I just received a replica folded link bracelet to go on my PT 1680. Unfortunately, the endlinks do not work at all, and I had to put on the endlinks that came with the PT sub. Also, the PT spring bars, which are gen-style, do not fit at all in the folded link bracelet, much less in the new endlinks. I'm okay using the generic, non-gen-style endlinks, but I would like to use the rep 580 endlinks on the PT sub, as the folded link bracelet looks weird with the PT endlinks. Anybody know if there is any solution to this?

Thanks for the tip. I contacted him about it, and his ring will solve about half my problems with this watch. But that brings me to another problem with this watch. Before I send it to JMB, I have to decide if I'm going to keep the PT crystal or get a Clark 127. Because the calender is farther to the left than the gen because of the ETA 2846 movement, installing a Clark 127 would mean the cyclops would be too far to the right, and I'm afraid it would look terrible. The date mag on my PT crystal is pretty good, so is there any real reason to put on a 127? What movement does the MBW use? Is it low beat, is it ETA? Having a low beat ETA is great, I just wish the calender was a few more millimeters to the right. The MBW and Josh's 1680 have the calender in the right spot (presumably) and it would line up with a 127 cyclops- but you couldn't use the low beat movement, could you? After what I've learned from researching the flaws with the PT 1680 and Josh's 1680, I wish I had bought a MBW in the first place. If a good one popped up for somewhere around $500, I would probably get it. But if it gets too much higher than $500, it's not worth it for me. I have a genuine 1974 1680 red sub, but I can't afford to service it ($1,500 estimate), so if I start spending that much money on reps, I could just service the gen. I wouldn't want to wear the gen every day anyway. I like having a beater "stunt double" of my watch.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but does Josh's watch have gen-like bezel construction, using a flat metal washer for the crystal retaining ring, instead of the white plastic ring like the PT sub? I have the PT sub and the white plastic retainer is crap, considering getting one of Josh's.

I know most people say Movados are cheap enough you should just get a real one, but I can't really afford $300+ for a watch. I'd prefer to find a Movado (or should I say Fauxvado) for more like $60-$200. But let's not worry about prices now. Who even sells Movado reps? I haven't even found any trusted dealers that sell them. I just wanna see what's out there right now with Movado reps. Thanks for the help folks.
