I'm starting to get sick of all the problems with reps, almost 70% of my reps have problems with them, whether the movement is functioning weird, the watch doesn't work, or something else is broken. The quality is excellent for the price, but just not "there", it's missing that special touch IMO. But nonetheless, I still find it quite fun and satisfying modding the reps and so forth. I am at the same time, searching for what my true grail watch is, as even I am not sure.

Having said that, I find it absolutely absurd that I had to spend in excess of $500 to refinish my AP Royal Oak Chronograph.

I will say that of the 20-25 reps I have, there have been almost no problems with any of them...except that I can't easily wear more than one at a time. The second hand not aligning perfectly with the minutes indices on a Brietling, a bezel insert falling off an Omega GMT, etc. None have been bad enough for me to stop wearing the watch. On the other hand, like Admin, sending my gen Rolex to NYC to have the battery replaced for $400 was one of the more stupid things I have done.

Dallas and Miami in the finals. O'Neil vs. Nowitski, the battle of the Titans. Sorry for Miami and Coach Riley, but I expect the Dallas to be winner in six. Without a doubt, the two best teams in the league. It will be a good series.

Hello,

i wanted to ask if anyone has bought this tag golf rep http://perfect-clones.com/product_info.php...products_id=991

seems to be quite bulletproof, sapphire, rubber strap, with quartz movement in the gen too.

any opinions?

I just got this model from Joshua and couldn't be happier. It is almost a perfect replica of the original, including the strap stretch and feel, which I think must have been very difficult. The closure mechanism is bulletproof. I acutally played golf while wearing it for a bit without realizing it and it didn't seem too much the worse for wear. I wouldn't do it as a rule, though.

I placed the order May 11 and received the watch on the 17th...in Texas. Fastest turnaround ever! As Andrew said, no one will call you out on this baby. Your friends at the country club will be very impressed!

Posted in error.

Could the song be talking about crystal meth or crack cocaine?

No. But whiskey and beer and cigarettes. For your viewing pleasure:

This one will keep the kiddies off the street.

Nice shots, CY. I am inspired!

I have the PO and while it is a nice watch, I think I prefer the Pam...especially if you but a cordovan brown strap on it.

PO is really close... try and search for some reviews either here or at TRC.

But honestly if I was to choose I would go for PAM 111.

BTW you've got a cool member number

Discussions about warbody's member probably should be restricted to the looney bin.

I have a gen Omega GMT and a rep from Andrew. Almost impossible to tell the difference. Except for the bezel insert coming loose on the rep.

1710+22=1732

Mistakenly added in a few gens.

My usual, the 2893 EXP II from River has been replaced by the recently acquired 2893 063.

Climb on.

After thinking about all this, I don't think two in a hundred in my neck of the woods would know what a Panerai is. Until I started this sill hobby a year ago, I didn't. All of my friends have Rolexes, and not one has recognized the Pam. My brother-in-law collects watches and he had never seen one. Are we, as hobbyests, part of some giant mulit-level ponzi scheme?

That's the reason why many people will suspect that it's a rep. Most people don't know the fact that LV makes watches and will automatically suspect any to be fake.

It's like the Oysterquartz, most people will think it's a fake because they know a Rolex doesn't tick.

Funny, I have an OQ. I accidently left in a friend's car and forgot where I had left it. He called a couple of months later and told me he had my watch. When I asked why the hell he hadn't let me know sooner, he said "Well, I would have, but since it was a fake Rolex, I didn't think you would be worried".

There is one thing with LV...most of the time nearly everybody will say it is a fake no matter that you're wearing gen or rep...

Why do you say that? I suspect that almost no one would recognize the LV, much less automatically expect that it is a rep. Find two people in 100 that even know that LV makes watches and you would be lucky.

I see where you are. There may be more examples in OZ than in Texas. It is a very nice rep, though. Worth wearing whether you get called out or not.

Two for me , please

In Texas, yo tambien. And the little star is in the upper left corner.

For the full gold Rolex, I've never seen the weight and heft of a genuine equaled in a replica. Or in any other full gold rep.

Where's the RWG Limited EDition?

Ok forget the WATCH! Does you GF have a Sister?

Forget the sister. Does she have a mother?

Why do you hate Rolex?

I give up. Who?

I'm in for the 63@$435.

I just got my black 45mm from Andrew yesterday. It is a very nice watch, but there are some of the same errors on it as there were on the gen 1,2,3, etc. The He valve is straight on at 10 o'clock. The logo on the back of the case is a pasted foil, not engraved. The back of the case is poorly finished and looks like it wasn't buffed at all. But the biggest difference is that the crystal is not anti-reflective. That, in my opinion, is the most easily recognized error and is pretty much a dead give away to someone who has spent any time studying the gen. The bracelet is fine, except that it is either one-half link too large or one-half link too small for me. What ever happened to the half links like on the Seamaster Pro? Also, I think someone said that the 45mm version didn't have "Planet Ocean" engraved on the clasp. Mine from Andrew doesn't. I'll break out the photo gear tomorrow for some photos.

anyone selling the 16520 with the new asian 7750.

That might be worth a new thread, Dave. I would like to know, too.

Very nice photography. Nice watches, too.
