How's it going bud I had exactly the same dilemma as you a few weeks ago. I wanted the 45mm upo as I also read its a better rep but I ended up ordering the 42mm from Joshua . Which in my eyes even though I'm not a pro by any means Is a very good rep.I deffinatly think the 42mm is a safer bet. How big are you wrists? There is a recent post where a member has a picture of both sizes on his wrist at same time and even though it only a couple of mm bigger the 45 looks alot bigger.mine should arrive in the next week. I'll put a few pics up soon as it arrives so you can have a look.by all accounts the reps have come a long way.hope this helps bud

It's a beauty mate! Mines just been posted, I went for the 42mm in the end I was worried the 45mm would be too big but yours looks great. Can't wait to get mine.cheers for pic bud

Thanks for the advise bud I'll have a look when it arrives and post some pics up.cheers

Hi guys quite new to the rep world and this was my first rep purchased.i bought my navitimer world this year about 3 months ago and only paid bout £75 for it so I wasn't expecting much but I am quite pleased with it. For a cheap rep it's fairly accurate and the weight is quite nice but a couple of things id like to change.The dial and bezel diameter is 46mm which is same as gen.the questions I'm asking is I'm thinking of changing the dial as the chrono dials are quite inaccurate as the breitling logo is stuck on and the sub dials read 2011 ect ( see pics) and wanted to make it look a little better.and was wondering if any rep dials are available as I'm guessing a gen dial would be alot of money. Has anyone changed a dial on a navitimer and does anyone know where I could get one from.or would it be cheaper to buy a better rep as this is one of my all time favourites.any help would be much appreciated.cheers Ryan

Hi guys are the smps different between dealers only reason I ask is I've read alot of posts which all say they get there watches from the same factory? I may be totally wrong.ive ordered a smp chrono from Joshua and soon as it arrives I'll post some pics up if it helps bud.ryaka do you know if Joshua's smp will take a gen crystal? If Matt isn't interested in your crystal I may be.cheers Ry

He you go spooky pics as asked

Another shot

hi bud according to my tape measure my wrist is 7" even though I thought I had tiny wrists, this is aMy navitimer if it helps for size.

I like your style bud!

Nice watch mate wish I never looked at this thread as I'm very tempted now!

I am seriously loving that !

Congrats mate on your 1st purchase, coukd you post up a wrist shot when you post some pics cheers Buddy. Ry

Thanks a lot for the info guys much appreciated the winder I was looking at was a Time Tutelary Automatic Vertical Dual Watch Winder which is currently half price on amazon ATM. Just want to look after my new buys!

hi guys I've got 2 automatic rep watches on order and one being omega smp chrono , after reading on the forum about the movement being quite delicate and possibilities of damaging it by self winding it when I want to war it I am going to buy a winder that I can put both in, the questions I have are: can you leave them permanently In the winder and is it better to run the winder in one direction or both directions. Hopefully I'm clear enough and you know what I mean. Any advise would be gratefully appreciated. Cheers in advance. Ry

Post some pics mate of your watches

With cats

I know what you mean mate I ordered my first 2reps a week ago and still haven't had my Qc pics! Can't wait to get them!!

Nice pics and nice watch buddy. I'm fairly new to the rep world and to the forum, I've got 2 omegas on order from Josh and am already gearing myself up to order a sub from a very good and trustworthy dealer called bk on the forum. There is so much info and a lot of very knowledgeable members on this forum and I am certain as soon as you start reading post you'll be getting ready to order your next rep! Enjoy Ry

That is one serious collection! Very nice

Lol I like a variety on my wrist! Tried a last resort on lunch break today and went to timpsons....what a life saver all sorted.

hi guys I own an geniuine Ed hardy watch and need to remove a couple of Link as the strap is too big.I have taken it to several what I thought to be good jewelers Around my area and no one can undo the scews holding the strap together! As they are sooo tight! Does anyone have any suggestions or recommend a good repairer/ watchmaker in uk. I live in south of uk.I'll post a few pics later if it will help. Thanks in advance Ry

I agree spooky my missis doesn't get my new obsession with rep watches!! They'll never understand!

Al least you have someone to hand for free modding!

Hi redwings where did you order from as I've got a smp on order from perfect clones. Have you got some pictures you can post of your watch other than Qc pics? Cheers mate

Hi red watch thank you for the welcome into the forum. Thanks for the info into the subs it's amazing how many models of reps there are for every model of gen and how fast they seem to improve.I'll keep on reading up and I'm sure sooner rather than later I'll hopefully be an owner of a sub from bk. Thanks again for the info.
