man! What a horrible date font!

Crap I thought the font looked kinda cool. Different anyways.

Good ole Pismo. Man I thought u fell off the face of the earth.

Ive enjoyed looking at Pismos pics for a long time.

The odd part about it is I justed visited that site by chance and randomly chose that auction

out of all the others. Plain kookie

Thanks coofire, I knew I wasnt going nuts.

but I find your avatar offensive

Awe man not poor ole Eddie. Give the poor chap a break, as you can see he has endured alot.

I love the avatar by the way.

Yeah i know it should be Titanium but maybe you can get the case bead blasted to look like Ti.

Might work

Thanks TT

Those pics gave me chills and a smile.

I think 9 times out of 10 the genuine guy would not care. First of all if he is a knowledgable collector HE knows it is genuine and that is all he really cares about. If he is just a guy who had some cash and bought a nice watch (ie; most, but not all Rolex owners) he would just dismiss it as jellousy or being illinformed or what have you. Agin HE knows it is genuine so who cares.

Could have not said it better myself.....

Home theater has always been a passion for me.

This old thing.... If someone could help the old relaman out with a white letter dial I sure would apperciate it

One word Invicta. Reminds me of those silly photos where they put their watch on a celebs wrist

take a photo hand them a check, never to be seen on the celebs wrist again.

G

great photos - who is the rep from? and how long have you had it.

Hey Pho

Ive had it for over a year now.Originally from king I believe with slight mods from Joe

and the bezel insert is a shade darker on the genuine

Six months ago I put my name on a waiting list for a Rolex LV not thinking anything would come of it until

the phone rang today. After seeing it I couldn't resist. Here are some pictures of both the genuine and rep for

your comparison. Some of the differences I noticed were dial font. The font on the genuine appears to be

thinner and not as white. Rep almost looks better.Crown Guards but and easy fix. Date font is close but a little thicker on the genuine

Date mags are the same. The rehaut, this is always what bugged me on the rep. It is narrower and has the visible plastic ring

next to the crystal. Most of for mentioned differences are small and undetectable to the average Joe.

Never sell anything genuine for anything fake...!

Im with TTK on this on. You and your wallet will regret it.

MG... You need some therapy!!

Great collection! I spy a 1675 that I especially like!

Hey R

Actually its a 16753 (1984-85) fresh from Rolex service. I f-ed up however. It had the matte finish dial I was told that it would be replaced with the same dial WRONG it now has the gloss dial. Made me mad. It is my favorite of the bunch. It looks so nice Im afraid to wear it.

When I see the pictures of the pretty reps I usually purchase them only to later purchase the genuine. Does this happen to anyone else? I would think if this where the norm, genuine watch manufactures would love reps. I like to purchase the reps but find that I don't wear them in public much for fear that I might get called out to which my reply would be "I have the real one at home" to which their reply would be "sure you do" lol.

Here is a pic of my genuine and reps pictured happily together.

This I will own.

I owned a genuine MM20. I was actually the first I believe to have the hands replated in gold by Jack at IWW. Its a pretty cool watch. I owned it for @ 8 months before selling it for more than I paid for it. Would I buy another No. Over quailty was not bad but not much better than my EL fiddy for 3 times less money. I dont think the straps that came with it are all that either. I just mostly got caught up in the thrill of the chase in getting one from Ken Trading. Here is a link to my post on Big watch Forum back 2004

MM20

The first watch you show is theoretically an older generation replica as it was available a few months before the second was released. Although of a slightly different model of watch it does have a few more flaw.

Most noticeable is the completely whacky date font!!

Isnt the sub dial at 9 oclock to large. All the pics of genuines Ive see have the sub dials all the same size.

Very nice my man!

What about all the dopes here who pay a premium to have the first PAM rep on the block. Good lord talk about stupid. Big money little money its all relative.
