  1. I am always ready to meet up and fill my belly with some great food and socialize with others that share the same interest as me, on that said of course here we are all reps watch guys and of course gem as well I am sure. This group is there any one rep watch that most have and it might be the topic of conversation or is it just watches of all kind, as for me I am new to the whole rep thing and for now my interest is Pam's. As for doing this now soon, it may not be the best time based on the weather we are having and as I have said day and time is no problem for me. Just my own opinion, don't mean to offend anyone here.

    A bit of topic also: I am in need of a watch repair for one of my Pam, one I just got a few week ago has a problem anyone knows someone?

  2. I could hang with this piece. Would make a nice beater. ;)

    I sure would like one of these, on a trip early this to Vegas I was at a watch store and saw a few of them and I said to myself if I get lucky at the tables I will buy one well of course I did not get one. As for a rep, dough they will ever make it cost would prohibit what they could sell it for and dough the quality would make anyone buy it.

  3. I am game for anywhere, sure would love a nice drive away from home after being stuck here since June, my problem is I am still recovering from a motorcycle accident and for me it would be great to be able to park close to the door as I am still in need of my walker to get around. I have space for one ( I drive a SSR) if it is somewhere and someone needs a ride that I can pick them up. Suggestion, maybe this can be posted on another rep forum to see if we can get a nice big group together.

  4. I am new here and to rep collecting, sounds great to be able to meet some experts and learn. Any day good for me, recovering from a motorcycle crash so no work. I live right on the Jersey side of the Hudson River so somewhere in the area would be great as long as parking is close.

  5. Well overall it looks gen mate....

    The U-Boat is correctly positioned over the DW ..I have not seen any reps with this and have also in the past discussed this issue with a TD who was adamant there was no rep so far with that dial corrected and nor was there one in the pipeline...

    The sub dial at three ... I cant see it properly.... Is it flush with the dial? whereas the the other subdials are recessed slightly? If so then thats right too... All reps have subdials all recessed which is incorrect..

    The actual UB typeface colour is also gen like the rep has never got this colour right and tend to have it white as it easier to mark up the dial for the rep makers.. plus hands and dial markers are right... the rep gets this wrong on all models they use the same finish whereas gen has different white on hands to that of markers..

    I cant see the serial numbers between the lugs so just check those mate against the paperwork...

    The CB and rotor are the older model but fortunately the reps have the CBs with the later CB and engraving

    Plus that aint a rep strap mate... the rep straps are like cheap cardboard...

    It seem based on your evaluation on my Flightdeck I have a gen, that is great news to me. The dial at three is flush and I did see two sets on number between the lugs below the 6 but there do not match any numbers on the card, the serial # on the card is not same on the watch unless I missed somewhere else to see it.

  6. You can still buy quartz versions I was looking at a gold one in a shop window the other day..

    But the tells on all the rep Uboats are easy to spot on the dial.... for example on the flightdeck the subdial at three on the rep is indented the gen isnt... also the UBoat type over the DW is misplaced on the rep... the vertical left edge of the DW sits below the right hand upright of the U but the rep the edge of DW sits in the middle of the U..

    Of course there are others on this one and other similar rep models...

    I recently bough a gen Flightdeck and have seen two rep and now I am wondering if mine is a gen or rep, I sent U-boat a message a few days ago but have not gotten a reply. What other sign on both the gen and rep that are different for me to see, I have looked all over the watch and can't find what I think is a serial number.
