Hi , not been on for a week or so like the new/old look. Lost VIP status along with everyone else you have pm...

Love my Vac Lumed black 3717 but never convinced about the Brown dial St Exp. However that looks amazing, nice lume shot

God Bless the Danes

Hi Andy, Welcome to RWG The first 'Swiss version' Steelfish released in 2007 was a superb rep and for awhile it was available with a Breitling font DW. I say was, because I think this version was discontinued or at least that is what every SOSF post on the sales forum has stated for the last year I owned the blue dial rep and it was an awesome watch, much better than any gen you could get for the same price. So good in fact that my wife bought me the gen! Only flaws were uneven lume on the markers (this affected blue dial versions), the lack of lume on the cardinal points on the rehaut, Incorrect font and curved face of the 12, 6, 9 markers and the SS bracelet didn't match the quality of the case. I wore my rep on a gen blue pro diver strap and ignored the other 'Flaws'. The blue colour of the rep is very nice, the circular guilloche is well defined (unlike the BCE) and if you have never seen the gen dial you will be very happy with it. However, compared to the genuine all of the dials look one dimensional, they don't have the sheen and multi-tonal quality the gen has. Hope this has helped! Cheers,

Just spent the last five minutes laughing at this thread, too funny!

Not seen the PAM 359 before, thanks for the fantastic photographic introduction AmStaFF

Mike, Great Submariner, which is even better now I know the story behind it

WM9 / BK V2 Sub... er probably nothing! The pearl looks nice as does the crown. I wish George would get a shift on with his SD Project!

I was lucky and found RWG through one of By-Tors incredible reviews, the quantity of High quality information available here never ceases to amaze me. RWG is far from dead and I am more than happy that it is not the replica watch equivalent of Facebook

Hi Omar, Good to see where the money from the Franken SA went, enjoy the Nikon

Thanks for the info Mike, very interesting (and shocking) reading. I dread to think what the AD prices are in the UK..... Cheers!

Great Comparison Dave I love the SA but it is just far too big for me unfortunately. Your photo of the SA next to the Skyland (which is a big watch) really shows just how massive it is.
