Legend

For such claims, @SSTEEL, details are always useful. I am not doubting you, but whenever there is a thread stating "xxxx is a scammer", there will be bound to be members asking for details like what he did, the amount involved and such. I also think that there are two sides to any story. While caution about someone is always good, and that we should look out for the community and one another, it will be meaningful to include details with such threads. Labelling someone a scammer is a serious allegation in my opinion, and if you want to start a thread in this vein, it is best to have details to back it up.

Thank you brother and yes as far as I know it’s the only piece in Singapore currently. I’m sure that its siblings will soon join it soon haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

LOL Thank you bro @Faster897 take champsy's suggestion and PM legend, he can help you, being one of the modders here.

@Champsy can you recommend a modder for this nice gentleman?

Hi OP and firstly, welcome to RWG. Also, please don't get discouraged by the lack of response. Things move slower on the boards these days, perhaps due to the festive season. In my experience, someone will eventually reply, so be patient and don't be disheartened. 1. For the start to finish process, I think that it will differ from dealer to dealer, and that members in general will simply purchase the watch they like, as opposed to taking the time to detail meticulously the start to finish process. Your experience may not apply to theirs and vice versa. Each process with each member and dealer will differ. This is not a habit which I have seen in my hobby, in my last 8 years here. I doubt that it will become a trend or habit. Your post and the information provided are both well appreciated and I think that future members will find it useful. Thank you for your time and effort. Just FYI, the dealers in the hobby are trusted because members have had positive experiences dealing with them over a prolonged period. Therefore, members feel secure dealing with the known dealers listed on the site. 2. For the rep itself, it is flawed in several aspects as you already know. I own 2x 5711 gens, the blue and white dial, and have compared all the different rep models against them several times. The datewheel font is the first thing which screams at you, but I understand that someone has created a datewheel to fix that. The thickness of the rep needs to be improved too, and the miyota movement looks and sounds cheap. But price wise, it is a whole lot more friendly than the gen of course. [emoji6] 3. Please continue to post and integrate yourself into the community. We do not need to do things "the same old way" all the time. Refreshing changes are always welcome as long as they are not disruptive, malicious or offensive to the community here. Stay and grow, read and learn. You will understand what this hobby, and us are about before long. Once again, thank you and a warm welcome! To a watch modder, the markers can be realigned, excess lume can be cleaned off, the watch case can be thinned, and the rotor bearing sound, if necessary, can be silenced. VS the gen thickness of 8.3mm.

not doing a batch, but I will be able to build individual watches to order. PM me. Oh you already did. In that case, wait for my reply. Oh I already did. In that case, please read my reply.

very nice bro. New piece?

I am unsure if there is a rep of this yet bro, so my only choice was to buy the gen haha.

This is an AP picture thread. Stop posting your questions here. Start a new thread. I will clean up your post and I do not wish to see you posting questions or irrelevant comments in this thread again thank you.

@Hyjynx that is an impressive collection, and I can see that you have an eclectic and classy taste. I do agree with you though: rep or gen, we wear them for our pleasure and pride. Keep up the collection!

Go for 2836 and convert it to a low beat properly. Avoid the 2846 movement. The dial plate is different, and does not facilitate a cyclop mod easily. Also, the movements used in the 2846 are pretty aged to say the least. @Darksiderkillss knows, we have been through an unenviable episode together.

v9 SS diver you say? 1. relume hands 2. low beat conversion 3. cyclop 4. you need a gen diver bezel to make the watch look believable. This is the greatest tell of any rep diver 5. If possible, change the movement to a 2836 one at least for the instant date change as per gen. Overall, I will allocate a "good rep" status to a modded v9 diver but it is no means a "super rep status" like a modded XF FC diver.

Get the XF v2 if you are after the FC diver. You do need the low beat conversion mod and a cyclop mod at least, and after that, it is a watch which will seriously make any gen FC diver owner consider selling their gen counterpart in favor of this.

As MMM said, the 2824 datewheel and 2836 are not interchangeable. The 2836 one is more versatile of the two, being able to fit both movements, but on a 2824 it will not change instantly like the 2836.

stay far far away. Those are pics of the gen 16520. I have no idea what will turn up if you do order, but definitely something which will differ a lot from the pics.
