I agree with you all... I have actually ordered swiss eta with ALL my other reps. This one (top gun iwc), for whatever reason, had a $750 price tag for the swiss movement. So, i went with the Asian to keep costs reasonable. Being that it is a rep, I can deal with the crown issue. However, I think the date-wheel is a legit problem and have responded to the dealer with that issue. I appreciate the advice and I would go with the V1, but as I've already ordered from the dealer, I think it would be wrong of me to try to back out now. Unless of course ..... the rep he is going to send isn't in good order. So, it sounds to me from you guys that as long as the date-wheel is corrected, this is a very good rep and I should move forward. The primary reason I wanted this one, is that it is on the "supper rep" out of the box list. That is the pre-rec for any that I"m orderding. So, as long as you all agree this fits that bill, then I'll more forward. Thanks again for your feedback. I have 4 more reps that I've ordered. I'll posts those pics up for review, as soon as I get them. THANKS AGAIN! Please feel free to add any more comments. I have to give a yes/no by night at around 5pm.

Yes, I saw that too. Thanks. Anything else guys???? This is historically a "supper rep."

Hey guys, Please take a look. I need to make an approval today. What do you think?

Thanks for the response guys. I just really wanted to make sure the ones I have there are, in fact, 3 star in most cases. I just bought: 1 - The Omega - Ultimate Planet Ocean 42mm eta (from Joshua at Perfect Clones) AND 2 - The Tag - Carrera Chrono (white face) (from Andrew at Trusty Time) From what I've read, both of those models are notoriously 3 star out of box reps. Especially from those dealers. However, I'm a little concerned about the "color" of the Tag, as I haven't seen much written about the authenticity of it's shade. Anyone know? NEXT TO ORDER: Rolex GMT Pam 236 or 288 Chopard - Mille Miglia GT XL IWC - Pilot Chrono or Top Gun Pilot Chrono are soon to come (I really want that IWC Prortuguese, but that looks like a disaster situation) HOPEFULLY, those are all typically 3 star out of the box as well. Anyone disagree??? Thanks again!

Just to clarify a few things: - I fully recognize that no rep is perfect. "3 star" may be relative in some respects, but I'd hope that it's pretty clear what I mean. The gentlemen that know their stuff on here also know what the most solid reps are on the market. - I'm totally open to buying someone's modified (mods) product. It just seems that you really need to be active on this forum and very patient, in order to find what you're looking for. I'm definitely considering picking this up as a hobby, but I don't see myself being able to do that right now. And, I want to build my collection fast! But, I want to do it right too. Thanks again. I REALLY appreciate your expertise.

Hello everyone. Over the past month, I've been doing a lot of due diligence on this site. CLEARLY, you guys know your stuff. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into ... Hahaha Anyway, I'm focusing on compiling a list for "OUT OF THE BOX" reps with the quality close to "super-rep" or "3 star." Then, I would like to put together something for the best dealers, for those respective watches. Here is my current list: Tag Heuer - Carrera Omega Men's - Speedmaster Date Chopard - Mille Miglia GTXXL or GMT Raymond Weil - Nabucco Chrono Rolex - GMT Master II IWC - Pilot Chrono or Top Gun Pilot Chrono Please CONFIRM that these are top notch rep models. If anyone believes any of these should not be considered a 3 star, please let me know. Congruently, if I'm leaving any 3 star "out of the box" reps out, feel free to add them. If you know a great dealer at a fair price, I'm all ears.

Thanks for that reply. I've spent a considerable amount of time conducting my due diligence, based on your suggestions. You guys clearly know your stuff on here!

Hello, I'm new to this forum. However, I have had the opportunity to read some very interesting posts already. I can tell that this is the place for me to ensure that I buy from the right people. Anyway, I would really appreciate some recommendations concerning who to work with/buy from. The sites I've researched online are almost all scams. My first purchase will be for a: Tag Heuer - Carrera Chronograph. After that, I plan on picking up a Daytona. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hi, I'm looking for the same. Who/what is "PC" and "PT?" Is that a site or dealer? Thanks.
