I have had Regulator R-01 two days now. I am not qualified to say much else, than that I like it. I wish it was smaller (than 41mm) though. Glashütte has a very similar regulator, which hasn't been replicated as far as I know. I am happier with a genuine Perpetual anyway. Good communication from the manufacturer, choice of strap colours and fast shipping. http://www.perpetual-watch.com/regulator.html

Good to hear. Thanks.

What if second hand is removed? Would the watch (quartz or mechanical) still work correctly? I am asking, because some watches would be more appealing to me without a second hand.

I mean those on the ring. The most noticeable is at one o'clock. Now that you mention it, I guess curved crystal would be more elegant.

Yes. Genuine 3520DG is 33mm too. It is big enough for me. The updated/current offering by Patek - 5120G - is 35mm.

Pictures attached. Some dents can be seen.

Indeed. And after payment they asked me to send a picture of the back of my credit card. I refused and then they just did send the watch to me. I can take photos, but my camera may not be up to the task. At quick glance the watch looks just like the genuine seen in the picture in the beginning of this thread.

I got 3520DG (33mm) from replicawatchesmen.com. No problems although I had my doubts. The bracelet is low quality, but the watch looks similar to the original.

3520DG and 5120G should be more popular! I could even use a plain stainless steel or titanium copy with quartz movement. What is wrong with the existing replicas? I have seen them listed only at suspicious sites with bogus specs, pictures etc. For example, ourwatches.net (link not allowed) has 5120G listed at 120USD. I am also considering a real Longines Grande Classique, which is rather similar looking but not as appealing. (First post by the way.)
