Ooooorrrr... You can sell it to me cuz i have a replacement dial!!! sounds like a great idea to me!!! PP

is there a way to get it filled?!?! possibly take it to a custom jeweler?!?! I have a case-only and i haven't used it because of those damn #'s on the side... PP

I can tell you which isn't... ALL OF THEM!!! PP

I am normally not this blunt, but, "in terms of how accurate are they when compared to the gen"... both models suck ass!!! ladies models just dont get effort that go into the popular mens models! FACT! dial font = wrong! date font = wrong! quality = wrong! solid gold parts or not... it does not even compare to the genuine article!!! hope this helps in your decision!

yet another dissapointed person! we need new models with correct bezels, dammit!!! PP

So, After all this chit-chat, what can be done? Sifting through all the posts you can clearly see that most are disappointed in the quality of the present models... and are sad to see some no longer available... Who or What are the influences to the manufacturers?!?! How do we begin a 1:1 for some models?!?! Or even ONE model??? Its happening now with so many models now, why cant we just get a case, bezel, and bracelet re-vamped?!?! Hell, I keep reading about how everyone wants a Modern Seadweller... why not start there since there has NEVER been a CORRECT version on this earth (besides gen) Its also confusing that there are SO MANY movements out there that have been replicated... how is this not the same for the 1570 or 3135 movement??? Is there something (as a community of anal collectors) we can do??? I just want to put this topic to bed... IT WONT GO AWAY!!! Comments? PP

well who here actually thinks a flood of 1:1 rlx models will find their way into the world?!?! i agree that the manufacturers have put a lot of effort into these new "refreshing" models these past months... and i am all about it! but when was the last "major" change to the genuine standard rlx models??????? um yeah, seems like never... so whats the deal? it would definitely put THIS TOPIC to bed if they would just release a decent rep of our favorite models... )sub, sd, exp, gmt-m, dj, dd, etc) lets be honest, the current owners of rlx models have bought almost every model that has come out... those who are saying, they have all the rlx models they need are just full of it... everyone here knows, that if a 1:1-like rep came out... those people would be unloading pieces of their collection just to update... fact! I think like Dane Cook once said, "Its a Vicious Circle"!!! btw, who is the influence of whats new or gets re-done these days?!?! Us? Dealers? Something else? As much as we have beaten this topic to death... IT WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND unless there are 'readily available' rlx models that DO take on the special characteristics of the genuine article... the bad part... due to the physical characteristics of rep vs. gen... is this really possible??? sadly, everyone who breaks these things open say, no! some say the physical characteristics of something as small as where the stem protrudes from the movement is different the from the ETA models to the 3035/3135... hence the reason for the shallow rehaut... However, Why not build new models with genuine characteristics like bezels? bezel inserts? and the ever-hated pearl? why not have a consistent date mag?!?!?! like the vintage reps... why dont ANY "modern" reps allow for genuine parts WITHOUT modification (shaving, sanding, drilling, etc...) i mean manufacturers have the ability to use gen-like tubes, but they continue to use cheap [censored]... anyway, i have beaten this topic to death for the past few years... on rwg1 and trc... its not worth it... nothing has changed... yes the models have improved a little bit... but, am i impressed? not really... i think rlx has taken "back seat"... in the eyes of the members here and the people who make them... sorry for rambling mess of a post i have made on your thread! EDIT: Sorry had to add... claiming "PERFECT" on a model that simply IS NOT perfect... is utterly bad business... sure most people who buy them will be extaticly pleased with what they receive in the mail... but those are far from "PERFECT" Lets just throw out the definition of "PERFECT" : being complete of its kind and without defect or blemish... HAHA, so how many threads have been created regarding the "imperfections" of the PERFECT sub or SD or whatever!?!?! PP

when do they go sale???

how many wheels are being made?? wanna make sure i get two or so... Thanks again for the update! PP

looks like an un-finished hunk of metal that house a movement... not sure what i think about that one??? definitely, ummm... unique!

very funny! i have the same in blue! and nonchrono...

wow! i figured someone would chime in after 2 -3 hours?!?!

How do you do the OPPOSITE of the Vintage Conditioning of the Case Lugs??? How do make the edges "Like New" sharp?!?! (as opposed to Vintaged Rounded) I was reading over this tutorial: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=15294 And, wanted to to learn the opposite! Now, I understand that over the years that edges get a little rounded... and also after much servicing the edges seem to get rounded off as well... I have seen pieces on TZ and for sale on the Bay that look as if they havent been worn... There has to be some sort of service that someone offers to do this?!?! I have a gen K series sub that can really use this service and i thought i would give it a go or send it to someone that can do it?!?! So, anyone have a 'tutorial' or 'any advice' on how to repair to 'Like New' condition? Thanks PP

I see phrases like "close reproduction" and "exact duplicate" below... That is what I look for in this hobby! Why not not be critical of the small things... If they are small, they are easy to fix! Also, If a manufacturer has the ability, why not shoot for perfection?!?! Equals more money in their pockets! At least from a forum like this!!! EDIT: As for anal... Who is down for RWG Havasu trip for Memorial Weekend?!?! Random, I know! ****Definitions of "replica" on the Web: 1 a close reproduction of the original 2 An exact duplicate of the original, using the same materials and manufacturing techniques as were used to produce the original article. 3 A copy of the original, a facsimile. 4 A realistic and relatively faithful copy of a genuine original coin, usually produced for collectors, educational use, or other legitimate purposes, and usually differentiated in some way from a forgery intended for fraudulent use. 5 A copy of a numismatic item intended purely for collectors. Unlike counterfeit, no attempt is made to disguise such items as real. Often, replicas are copies of rare coins with the word copy or a similar marking to ensure it is not mistaken for the real thing. 6 Any item that is a copy of an original item is a replica of that item. 7 copy that is not the original; something that has been copied

excuse my American mouth... Oooooh, f*ck yeah! count me in! What is an optimistic sell date???

like it... but, some gens have white date and some have black date?!?! is it an option of some sort... which model constitutes which color datewheel?!?!

well yeah! that bezel sucks! been an issue since the day of release... but lets keep the 17 page thread going about which watch to create next instead of fixing the flaws of existing pieces...

oh, the typical use of genuine images... scary to see what you actually get for 30 bucks?!?! UPDATE!!! check out the beauty that would show up at your door... The good thing is customs would let this come to you, because they know someone wouldnt be caught dead wearing it!!! From the source: http://watchoice.com/watchoice/bookpic/RM66558125b.jpg

pics?

good to know...

480 in the house!!!

what are the correct endlinks for these models?!?! is the clasp correct as well? also, can the pushers be swapped out with gen ones on the DW cases?!?!

DUDE! this guy lives right down the street from me! Weird! Maybe i will pay him a visit to fix my 'brokens'....

I'm excited to see them regardless... I posted in the want ads for one and now, looks like i may just get MORE THAN ONE!!! Yay for me!!! I hope these become available soon... I could use 2 or 3 different colors! Eunomians: It has been a while for sure... I have always been here, just don't post as much as there are still the same "who has the best" threads everyday... not really any value in answering those... But, I'm glad to see everyone being interested... hopefully we will be able to share our stories and pics of these models when they become readily available... Ubi: were you able to find any chrono side pics to see if the crown and pushers were lined up up with each other or not?!?! PP

ok... making sure we saw the same thing! i am pretty excited to see these being made... maybe they have improved the movement ?!?! here is a link to the rlx models only: http://shopping.e-conveni.net/index.html?c...ry_id=4858& at the bottom they have an older version to compare it to...
