The "roll your own" option would be great, but I don't have the know-how. Know of any websites dedicated to watch crafters? According to Ofrei, if you think you can buy a movement and a case and assemble such into a watch, you are mistaken. Also, any soure for the Asian Unitas or 7750 clone movements? How would you find a case on ebay that you know is big enough for the Unitas, for example?

I'm looking for quality in and out, not quartz movement in a plastic case.

I've seen those, not bad. I also like the Sandoz Singapore, but they seem to be hard to find. Anybody else? I'd really like to try the Asian Unitas, but I don't really want a Pam rep.

I'm in the US, but the dealers are not, so that's why I'd see customs problems.

Hi, New here, and I think I'm missing something obvious. When you order a rep, is it always a gamble with it getting through customs? What percentage of orders simply arrive at your door? I think I'm a little different than most folks here in that I really don't care if the watch is a replica at all. For example, a watch that is in a sturdy "sub" case. eta guts, and a totally blank face would suit me fine. If you find such a thing however, they are generally more expensive than the replica. I'd really like to try the Asian Unitas movement in something other than a Pam or that one Omega rep. Suggestions along these lines welcomed.
