$60K for a Tudor?!

Thanks for sharing that, Chief!

You all think Xerox Palo Alto Research Centre invented the GUI?! (#1 myth on the interweb). I suggest you read up a little on your computer history. Or, you can watch

from the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute in 1968.

Steve Jobs made computing insanely great! For this, I will forever be grateful.

Damn! I gotta find me a 7734 movement so I can finally complete this 7032 I have laying around.

Sweet collection!!!!

For $100 it's good. But, it's so wrong.

I would like to build a ladies DateJust Franken. My plan is to use all gen parts except for the movement and hands, which would be donated from a rep ladies DateJust. Has anybody ever done this? Are there any problems associated with it?

won't help him, different layout.

sounds like you have a faux-chrono, I don't think a spare movement will be an easy fit! (meaning you have a 21j movement and no a7750)

maybe the best would be to get a new secs@6 rep, probably wouldn't even be much more and sell yours!

cheers, tim

Oh, I suppose this movement is for a Portuguese, right?

Mine came from a 3717.

Looks awesome. I think the Sinn U1 Black is going to be my next rep.

Yeah, the colour looks totally whack on the rep. Gen looks sweet!

I have a 3717 movement, hands and dial that I'm selling. I PM'ed you about it.

That looks really good.

I have the same watch except mine is from 1993; a GMT II 16710 with black/red "Coke" bezel. Now, all you gotta do is collect the rest of the bezels like I did. Mine is sporting a blue/red "Pepsi" bezel now. But, I may switch it to my all-black bezel. It's an excellent watch! You'll never take it off your wrist!!!

Wow! Looks like you're right. From the pics, that movement looked pretty rough. That rotor is not finished very nicely. And, those pics on the auction; all awful. I guess it's a gen.

Another eBay fake.

The current XV Spitfire case is the correct case for a non-Spitfire XV; 19mm lug width, correct case back. It's what I'm using for my XV Franken.

The polished part around the lip of the bezels of the cases are also different. That's what I look for to tell if it's a rep or gen case.

JEKS, the one that you have pictured is a Big Block Tudor. The case is thicker than the Daytona.

Next time, order from Lay/ReplicaMake. He'll posts pics and a video of the actual watch you'll be receiving for inspection prior to shipping.

Awesome photo! I'm convinced!

I just got a reply from the seller as well. I informed him about it's illegitimacy yesterday. Good seller. Totally trustworthy if anybody ever wants to buy from him.

It has "happy feet" Omega logo. Tachymetre bezel is missing the dot between the 400 and 500 mark. The finish on the dial is rough, to say the very least. I don't care if the seller has 54 billion transactions. Compare the watch to a genuine, and you'll clearly see that this is a fake.

THIS is a genuine. Compare.

Fake fake fake!

Clone of what? The balance bridge is so wrong it's not even wrong.

I would buy one in a heart beat...

+1 on that!

That's what I did. I installed a Swiss ETA 2824-2 movement inside. By the way, news flash - the gen dial fits the case and the gen dw works too! Will post pictures once I get the watch back.

That's not a news flash. Like I said, the Breitling calibre 17 movement is nothing but a modified and COSC certified ETA 2824. Of course it'll work with a gen dial.
