  1. definitely something im considering exploring. for a $300 watch, i expect it to last at least 10 years like $300 citizens. i wouldnt mind putting in a tad more cash to get a more reliable ETA too. now just gotta find the person to help me out =)...and find out what clone ETA version i have.

    Your rep will never last like a gen Citizen,it might if completely rebuilt, but most likely no.

    You have to temper your expectations in this game.

    JMHO

  2. MOAB,

    Accusatory? maybe, but my take is different.

     

    superlative said:

    "Perhaps the buyer of a rep on eBay should inform himself of the watches authenticity. Also, eBay and PayPal have policies to protect the buyer. Why make it your modus operandi?"

     

    I'm sorry? I'm all for "Caveat Emptor" and all,

    but perhaps the OP overestimates the intellegence and expertese  of many ebay buyers.(most have no conception of how good reps can be, and why should they,their supposed to be buying a gen)

    The OP basically stated it's OK to sell reps on ebay as gens(if you can get away with it) and it is the buyers fault if he is screwed(despite PP/ebay hopefully riding to the rescue,but only if the buyer figures out it is a rep in time), and we should look the other way and do nothing despite knowing it is a rep?

    You are OK with this view ?(I know you are not)

    But it seems the OP is OK with it.( and he wonders about our ethics?)

    I wonder about his.

     

  3. In all seriousness;

    Why do people report reps being sold as gens on eBay? The rep market is based on ripping off the designs of the gen makers (no denying this fact). Why get in such a huff over somebody trying to sell a rep as a gen? Does it make you justify your rep purchase so that your conscience doesn't bother you? I'm sure a lot of you tell your friends or acquaintances or strangers, "sure, it's a gen!" Perhaps the buyer of a rep on eBay should inform himself of the watches authenticity. Also, eBay and PayPal have policies to protect the buyer. Why make it your modus operandi?

    Are you upset because you are afraid someone will catch YOU selling a rep as a gen?

     By the way, anyone can tell anyone whatever story they want about their watch, it's up to them in the end,but SELLING A REP AS A GEN is a different story and should be condenned by all members . JMHO

  4. Surely, there must be someone in Canada who provides this service. Also, the term "low level lume work" doesn't exactly inspire confidence - thanks though!

    Nope don't think so, there are more than ten times the reps and gens in the US than in Canada,and there are only a couple of modders  in the US doing this kind of work. The numbers don't add up for Canada. Try cwazy over at RWI    http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=393

  5. Found this one. But it's to small. The co-axial has a case diameter of 44,25. That's what I am looking for.

    Tapped and talked with my Viper-HOX

    It is NOT rep'd yet!

    You will not get what you want from your linked site.http://de.zggjbb.com/aaaa-replica-omega-speedmaster-moonwatch-coaxial-chronograph-4425-mm-stahl-31130445001001-p-856.html?zenid=9q2i4a2u3mg2imtn8va3sdpl95 That is a real Omega in the picture!

    100m water resist? :pray: Sorry but, HA,HA.

    You will most likely be very disappointed. :wounded1:
