looks great! got the same milgauss too... for smaller girl wrists how is it worn? I would assume a loose fitting bracelet fit like Jennifer Aniston's?

How about this from PT? http://www.puretimewatch.com/published/publicdata/PTWWEBASYST/attachments/SC/products_pictures/ROLEX-2011-03-30-01-01.jpg How close is this to the gen?

Cartier Tank Franchine is nice...but what model is the ultimate or best?

My wife noticed my reps and wants one for everyday use. I want to get her an "Ultimate or best" rep available but there doesnt seem to be many around that suits her specs. She wants an all steel SS watch with a white face. A leather strap is okay but not preferred. Right now i'm more inclined to get her a good rep than something she wants but not a very good copy. My choices for her are: 1. Rolex Ultimate Milgauss white face---although I thought it was a 37mm but realized its a 40mm---might be too big for her. 2. Cartier Santos midsize- pink or white leather strap 3. Cartier Roadster - pink 4. Cartier Tank Franchine---but I'm not too sure if this is a good rep 5. Omega---any ultimates ladies out there? 6. Tudor--- same with this I AM STUMPED....maybe you guys can point me to the right direction to the current ladies reps out there.

I have used it in the firing range...been thru about 750 rounds on a sig226 9mm. Still good. This was in the last month only. Seems to be holding up. Its an 026k btw.

SWDivad is right. its more comfy on the left. I was hesitant at fist bout the look but its a beauty. I wear it on my right now.

I know what you mean...its a beautiful watch. I'll post some pics later. I just felt i could tweak it up a notch...

I think I mucked up my 005k crown guard. looks good but i over reprofiled it too much. Has anyone tried the aftermarket CGs from Wholesale Outlet? Looks pretty good... how does it compare with H factory's?

3 weeks ago... got it in 7 days. next in line of work needed is the crown.

...got this from joshua

He he...I'm kinda paranoid..I do it so that the watch wont be marked as a rep. too bad for the gen owner too...

Got a 005, overall its beautiful but wasnt quite happy with the CG brushed finish. Mine showed a little uneveness in the corners. With a jewelers sandpaper I rebrushed the finish. A little off from the gen but better than it started in my opinion. Let me know what you honestly think. I can always have a professional jeweler rebrush this if it looks off... Sorry forgot to take a side by side with a friends gen 005 but i hope the pics are enough. BTW is this a new caseback? with an 026 natural light white flourescent warm white the caseback Thanks guys

...beautiful work... did you keep the pin in place while brushing the CG?

beautiful watch man...strap does looks awesome...

I'm Choosing between a Ti and SS finish for a modification project. Other than cosmetic, what are the pros and cons between stainless steel cases and Titanium. I've heard titanium cases have a tendency of stripping threads over SS counterparts. Is this still true for newer reps that just came out? Any tips greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for good rep ladies watch. What would you recommend? I'm looking for something thats built solidly.

those are some good tips there guys...i'll do that

thats great to know... rsea, what is your oldest still running rep to date?

nice watch my man... are those the buckes from the rep026 or did those come with the strap?

Tried a search on this but couldnt find any. For High end panerai reps from reputable sellers, how long do these usually last considering good maintenance on the users side? May I ask, How long have you had yours before breaking down in any way?
