Well timegrapher not terrible , might settle in after wearing and yes insert hair off but as stated fixable but is the insert off or the dial look at first pic insert and rehaut engraving line up now look at dial seconds marker if that was a hair over all good. Mind the 9 O clock seems to line up .

The answer to your question is very simple. Whatever number of watches you have is enough. However, if you see a watch you don't have, and you want it, then you don't have enough. You need one more!
Hence the problem because you always see another you want!

Tyrant PM your address I'll send you over a watch , this is totally unacceptable !

It was not posted for sale Rolo was just sharing his build.

I agree but we are showing our age in the hobby, most denote factory/maker and if you are keeping abreast of newest models and their faults/pluses they mean something.

I have always been happy w/ my A2836's, run well never a problem and who is looking inside the case anyway, a rep watch smith perhaps.
-
Rolo I going to have to come beat you up you keep posting these great builds!
But seriously great job as always mate , wear in good health.
-
OK newer model or vintage.
-
That would be an undertaking they all do different ones better, narrow it down to one model it gets easier.

My friend unfortunately forums are content driven and a certain amount of critical mass let us say is needed in posts and also in revenue. In truth debates have occurred in the mod lounge on changing to a more again let us say wild west culture for years but in the end we have always come down on the side of the gentlemanly board with content in line of what you compared above. As you know for years I have run raffles to keep the lights on (we have very few VIPs) and unlike other boards are non profit (like we could ever turn one!) so we can remain the way we are but our small group need to support us other wise we go wild west or die.

Different culture it seems to works for them and sorry to say the masses love it. They had a couple of thousand guys on the other day & we a couple of hundred..................

Yes Happy Easter all!

It's a tough thing this watch obsession, do I unload them and buy one expensive gen................ No. I know a lot of guys here w/ deep pockets bought that dream gen or two or even three, they still keep buying what ever catches their fancy. In the end it's like being addicted to anything you just have to stop yourself.
PS I may need an intervention!!!LOL

As usual I have no idea
around 50-60 or so I guess, they pop up everywhere. Want to here something well sort of funny my quartz pieces when they run out of power go on the need battery shelf , no they never get them they just well live there have plenty of others. I recently checked where a few were due to raffle and found two vintage Rolex pieces I did not even remember I had, pretty nice too! About 60/40 gen/rep due to 10 or so old manuals in a box by themselves in the closet but without those 50/50. I really need to cull the heard like most of you.
-
Like that, Monte Carlo-ish for sure.
-
All your fault Francis!
LOL I started looking around when you asked and stumbled into that one and naturally I bought it.

Speaking of 38mm chronos here is a beauty.
Yes I bought one sucker for a Panda!
Another watch! wife is going to kill me, they are all over the place...........
-
They do look nice I agree on that and I have more than enough wrist to carry they just don't sit right for me. Unbalanced I guess that sums it but I am bias, I wear them small my daily is 38mm TI light as a feather.
38 x 8.4 quartz by the way, with all the watches I own this gets about 80-90% of the wrist time, and I have some beauties as you know.

Great info, thanks all.
I did come across a mention of the Tag CV2113 (the one from the gen ebay link) > https://www.repgeek.com/tag-heuer/150596-tag-watch.html#post1692200. He made some specific comments about one version being better than another, suggesting reps of this model do indeed exist. Posted back in 2011, so will have to see if these are still around.
Thanks also for pointing me to PureTime's current URL; I'd been having trouble tracking that down. He's got a Carrera Calibre 18 listed (https://puretime05.com/carrera-calibre-18-chrono-ss-cream-black-dial-on-black-leather-strap-jap-quartz.html), which I friggin' love, but oddly the case diameter is listed at 43.5 which is quite a bit off from official Tag site (and all other sources) which suggests case should be 39. Will have to email and get some clarification, because that thing is a beauty.
Rolex 6263 is grand, as is the Pre Daytona 6234, which I've seen repped in other forums.
In 2011 they most likely were repped but as new models come out factories go with new hotter selling models and discontinue some.

Carrera 1960 not repped that I saw, smallest was this:

Going to be tough find but if you want something to play with at 38 x 9.5 this should fit you well on the cheap.

Ah this one works,
It's a 38 not a 39.
