I would hang tough for one of the models with better date placement and date font. Dealers being out of stock is not your problem. They do come up on the forums and often cheaper. There is a great version of the Panda with the better date placement and the dial is spot on with the gen.

mind sharing where to find one?

ahh, hahaha.. ok those things are beyond me. its still hard to believe pens going for about 30k, must be a hobby to have

but if you were to spend almost $100 on a rep, might as well save up and get a gen for $300. The price differential for a gen:rep makes it not viable to get a rep, well at least not for me.

The dial is an obvious tell, but the watch itself seems like its good quality. Furthermore there is trouble with the movement due to the chronograph being more susceptible to breakdowns in the future. But it looks good, I'm really tempted, but only for a franken with gen dial

2-3 months is what they said when the V3 got released....

No no, H factory is coming up with it, not N Factory.

I'm just gonna wait and see

thnks guys, have a few gens already, but Pam's esp because they have good reps give me reason not to get a gen pam. I mean why get the real thing if the reps are almost the same but cost a fraction.

Anyhow, what abt the 7753, white dial, really feeling that, wondering if they are gonna fix the datewheel like the 326

Thanks for the input guys

wonder how accurate this is to the gen? I know the lume isn't as sexy as the gen, but hey for the price difference, its sexy enough

It is a gen rep... I take that question as a compliment... THANKS!

Ok but I'm a hublot noob, so I really don't know. How can you compare this to the gen (How close is it to gen)? Mind telling me where to get it?

Thanks

Sorry if it is a noob question, but is that hublot a gen or rep?

Isn't the color of the dial on the 326 different than the gen and is a big giveaway?

Still missing the lume? It's still a big giveaway. But pics?!

There was indeed talk of a V4.. but like all things chinese, we can only keep our fingers crossed.

I talked to Andrew @ trusty and he told me to wait for 2-3months for a 'better version' of the AP Diver. Wonder what is coming up?

how can i find hacra?

pmed concepta with no response

The biggest give away is the insert, if only it can be swapped like the subs

i think u posted a pic of a gen ap roo

Or any idea where we can find a gen dial and put in into the reps

dial texture is not reflective enough, dial print too anemic, font kerning is off, luminous too lumpy and matte, should be semigloss and much finer texture. tachy ring print is a bit off, handstack has minor nits, e.g. lume again a bit grainy, the black paint is flimsy and not correct texture, the chrono hand is rough. case pushers too low on the profile of the case, they cut into the bottom edge of the pillow because the movement is a thicker asian 7750 clone as oppsed the the genuine 7753 based calibre.

overall though, the cosmetics, the crystal, case & bezel geometry and superlume do their job and if you're looking at it on someone's wrist you'll be hard pressed to call these out.

I think u just took the 288 off my list bro. LOL.

Thanks for the info, very helpful

Wonder if theres a Gen insert for the DSSD, or if its a possible direct swap?

Hello!

No! You did not find a goldmine. You found a criminal network.

If you can not afford a REAL ORIGINAL ROLEX, buy a TIMEX.

I think he owns Rolex. LOL.

But what if we can afford a gen Rolex and still want the reps?

Nice review btw, lots of pics

Can u guys add, what's the flaws with the 288?

AP Diver V3

But it is out of stock, and they wont be open for another week or so.

Oh right, because i contacted them as i wanted a sub and they really gave rubbish answers to my questions. Like the customer support heidi, said the replica watches are no different to real ones and the weight even matches because they use the same 'parts' apparently. But then when puretime sales emailed me back I got a completely different answer that the weight wouldn't match. I've been really put off them by the poor customer service, I've had replys around 4 days turnaround.

I think you're talking to the wrong guy, or using instant messaging crap. You gotta email them or send them a PM through this forums. From my experience, if you do send them a PM through the forums, there are only online at certain times, and hence they might only reply once a day. But they are genuine, and please do ur research regarding which watch you want before plunging into buying anything. Once you get familiar with the forums, you'd realize that not all reps are 1:1

I am wondering, is this better than the V6 Factory?

You are correct, but you must keep in mind what year they are. Each year they hold a different value. I saw some Explorer II for $3000+, but they would be sold fairly quickly.

I think the Daytona Black/red, with Arabic numerical is on my list, but it runs for like 30k+ new. Lol

Gotta do your research bro. Basically the best are made by Noob Factory and H Factory. Torobravo and Puretime carry Noob factory Pams, while TD like Andrew @ Trustytime carries the H factory ones. They are all good sellers and members have got good feedback from them, but there are pro and contras to both factories. If you want a really simple answer, go for the noob, hence toro is good. Also please use the search bar.
