If it costs "just a little more" than the rep, then I could be keen haha. But I am highly doubtful that it'll be the case here sadly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My friend Panerai153 beat me to it, but his recommendation for the AP 33mm ladies is the choice I would advocate too. It may sound strange to you but it is by all accounts, an understated, oft-overlooked super rep. Your wife will be happy with it and you would not get much sleep on the same night she receives the watch.

I do like the newer Hublots with the UNICO movement.. I agree with you that the older big bangs were nothing more than puffed up run-of-the-mills wannabes with a lot of marketing and fluff masking a basic movement and very little innovation. And I own 2 of the Big Bang reps! Would never buy the gen for the older Hublot Big Bangs!

At this point, the closest in terms of thickness is the Miyota decorated movement version.There is no exact AP cloned movement, just the Miyota or A2824. The A2824 version is thicker for case dimensions. So if case thickness is a primary concern for you, get the Miyota version.. which you already did. The next closest would be gen.

Thanks guys I'm in the process of refining it. Still a bit more to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I concur. It is not an easy mod to perfect and I'm in the process of fine tuning it. Thanks for the feedback! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can we do it without the viking helmets please? I do not wish to be mistaken for a minotaur and killed for sport.

A shot of the date on 23 showing how it fills up the date window nicely. The apparent distortion in the "2" in earlier shots were due to the angle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After some refinement Group shot update

Fellow AP afficionados As you all know, one tell on the rep ROO, and even frankens, is the incorrect date magnification. The date font often appears too small. I have finished customizing a cyclop to give a much more accurate date magnification, and this would work for the standard rep ROO and frankens as well. I am currently trying pairing it with ETA datewheels for both the A7750 and the LWO movements and the result is not too shabby. For those wondering, I am still working on the AR, so project is not complete yet. Stay tuned for more pics project nears completion. On an A7750 movement, ETA datewheel On a franken LWO283 movement, test fit And franken movement LWO283 movement, ETA datewheel, and AR applied

Yes, SMPLover over at RWI (and here actually!) and Jacob straps both provide inserts with their straps.

This would be a dream come true brother... any idea where I could get one?

To OP, I have known who you are, and I have been aware of what happened from the RWI Brig since a while ago, but I refrained from commenting here, since I DO believe that everyone deserves a second chance. But I see the imminent mob lynching about to happen, and I am here to try to prevent your butt from being scorched too badly. To start a PP dispute against a dealer, and then blaming it on the wife, is not something I would encourage you to do. Trying to indulge in self-deprecating humor in the RWI brig would not win you any empathy either, or help you at all. We all made mistakes, and had our fair share of douchebaggery. The sensible thing to do is to man up and apologize. No frills, just a straight up "I was wrong, and I am sorry. Please forgive me". And stick to it sincerely. It is not too late for you to repent, learn from your mistake, and move forward from here. You should also apologize over at RWI without any more excuses or reasons. If you are sorry, show it. Sure, you would still get bashed, because people come in all shapes, sizes, and character types, but you would definitely start winning others over if you are sincere enough. You committed the cardinal sin of starting a pp dispute against a trusted dealer here, and consequentially causing inconvenience to the customers who buy from the same dealer. Understand the wrong you did, and be sincere in your apologies. Do not repeat your mistake again, and do not hide behind anybody else. It would just cause others to disrespect you even more. You are already banned from two forums, or maybe 3. Surely you do not wish the mob to lynch you here? Because if I know internet herd instinct, one word out of place and you will have the wolf pack descending upon you. Before you are banned here, or have your privileges restricted, I would urge you to apologize sincerely. If you do not, that shows that you either think that what you did was not at all a mistake, or that you find it hard to type from behind the skirts of your wife. That would also mean that you would continue to be a risk to the rest of us who use paypal to buy from dealers. RWI and RG both have good reasons for banning you, and believe me, the axe is above your head now. I would do my best to ensure that RWG members do not suffer the risk of being inconvenienced by your mentality, if you still think what you did was correct and beyond reproach. Toro, and a lot of RWI and RG staff and members, are all in the house. The forums are actually more closely tied than you would have liked. Apologize to them, give your word that you would not repeat your mistake again, and be good henceforth. If you are a man, behave like one. I will not call you names, because you still get a scintilla of courtesy from me, despite what you did. But try to defend yourself further or laugh it off, and you will understand that there is no skirt wide enough to hide you from the hammer. Think about what I've just told you, and how you want to respond, is entirely up to you.
