Just picked up one myself. For the price you can't beat it!

Looks pretty good. Might be a little dirt on the lug and macro shots so you won't see that 6 dust spec. I'd accept. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No that's not normal. Trusty always sends QC pics! Make sure it's really his site should be a 138 in web address. Usually takes him a couple of days after payment to send pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[mention=73322]Sogeha[/mention] You're welcome! Just helping out a fellow brother! Throughout the years I've received a wealth of knowledge from you guys! That's the least I can do. A simple act of kindness goes a long way! Pay it forward! Yes this is the spirit of our community here at RWG! My very first and favorite watch forum! [emoji1417]

Yessssir talked to him for about 15min nice guy although I'm sure he wondered why I didn't have a French accent[emoji57]. He did say you all had been chatting through eBay. My pleasure to help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got an update! Seems it was returned to you in France, possible illegible address or missing zip code. You should receive it in a few days. Also talked to Detroit Watchworks they never received it and first time they've ever had this issue. Watch repair guy Jason sends apologies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! Yes sir I know what it's like dealing with the USPS! Can be a real PITB CONUS! Couldn't imagine international! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PM me with all the info and I'll look into it tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes I agree with @HorFan email is the best option. If you need any further help I'm off tomorrow and would be happy to assist in calling them if need be.

No need for semantics. It is what it is. A TC watch assembled by SSTEEL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Star time definitely if you can get an order with them. They told me they only deal with watchsmiths. Their bevel crystals are exactly the same as gen. Then Clark would be next choice.

Did this ever get sorted out? I just put my first order in with Ryan at Intime. Communication was easy and he was very helpful and friendly.

Rep vs Fake.....who wins? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would never call any of my super reps or frankens fakes! When you add gen parts that changes the dynamics. They're not completely gen but at least deserve the title of replica. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm a fellow biker as well. Those crashes can be quite nasty. Glad you're ok! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm....you could franken it? If not I'd say sell for parts.

You can remove the scratches with a light cap cod polishing however this can remove some of the AR.

I just had this same discussion with another member. He seems to think reps and fakes are the same. I agree with OP! There is a huge difference however the average uneducated joe will think and assume they're all the same. Anyone watch youtuber Urban Gentry? He just smashed a fake canal st rollie on his channel and believes all fakes are the same. He's uneducated and has no clue of the real replica world.

Nice piece! Is this the new movement with CHS?

I also have a gen SMP C 300! Luv this watch! Also another option is this new release. The orange is gorgeous! Great summer watch! http://www.ttw-138.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_114&products_id=16839 Also consider this if you haven't seen it. I find the SMP C rep bezel to be closer to gen.

Excellent choice! Enjoy to the Max! Great community we have here!

Keep it! It's rep history and the only other hand crafted USA rep I know of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why not go two-tone? Less gold to wear.

Check with sead at supermirrors I usually email him a link of the watch and he sends me a price. I believe he takes PayPal as well as Andrew at Trusty. You can email him too! Both reply very quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
