  1. Good evening gentlemen!

    I stumbled across this site, who claim to be sell "New and pre-owned luxury watches."
    The first thing I happened to look at, which was what i'm trying to find, was the Omega PO.
    This one is marked as "Sold", and the price is currently unknown.

    The issue here, being that I have a feeling this was a rep, hence the placement of the pearl.  :g:

    Anyone else find this fishy/Find any other reps on this site, claiming to be gen?

  2. So, latest status on the LM?
    Alot of issues are very different on this model, for the new people to this thread:

    Main differences:
    Dial is glossy/polished, not matt.
    It has the older PO version of the crown and HE crown, not the new one with flat threads, instead of triangular/pointy.
    It does have the same bezel as the new PO's.
    Closed CB, which eliminates problems arising about the movement not looking up to scratch.
    The dial is very interesting for me, as I have worked alot with Omega. 
    It has the same font for indexes as the old planet oceans (Before the Co-Axial inhouse movements, so about 3+ years old.), but made in the same way as the new ones. (Metal indexes, instead of having the index markings and numerals painted on the dial.

    The PO LM:
    Not the details of it specified above.

    And here is the NEW PO. (Gen)

     

    Again, note the differences to the above, specially the difference of the "9 and "6, outer grip shape of the crown(s), polished bezel and dial as opposed to brushed/matt.

    And last but not least, the older version of the PO.

    Note the differences between both the newer PO, and the LM.
    The outer grip of the bezel is different, not straight as the two previous pictures, the crowns are the same as on the LM, but not the newer PO.
    Dial and bezel insert are slightly different on this one, and the pearl seems a little different to me, but i'm not sure about that. 
    The bracelet is also rather different, it's slimmer on the new versions.

    It seems that the new LM is a slight mix between the new and the old PO, with a few tweaks, such as the new bracelet design. (Although this particular watch on the image is one of the rare PO's made with the Divers mesh link.) 

    The only one of these that has the display CB (On the gen.) is the NEWER PO, whereas the LM and the older version have the classic Seahorse logo, thus making these (reps) in one way more gen like, since they don't show the obvious flaws of the incorrect movement.

    Hope this clarifies a little more as to the differences between these three beauties!

    CS Out!

  3. First thing's first, Audemars do not "base" their movements on anything.

    You can't "base" a chrono movement on a non chrono movement, since they are built in totally different ways.

    Take a look at the ETA 2824-2 and the ETA 7750.

    Audemars standard chrono movement for the ROO is the 3126, which cannot be compared with the RO non-chrono 3120 movement.

  4. Is* there* a* new model* in* the* Breitling* range* coming soon.

    Alternatively;

    Any new Breitling models/pieces coming soon?

    And to answer your question; No, there is not.

    The reasoning behind this being that ALL of the Breitling ranges will as of January 2014 be gradually changing their movements to all In-House, instead of ETA Modifications. (Such as the Calibre B17 found in the Superocean 42/44) 
    This will of course bump up the prices noticeably, making them the same kind of price range as Rolex.

    After that, so perhaps about mid/late 2015 they might have some new releases.

    Note: 
    I am only talking about brand new collections, not tweaks and slight changes to an already existing collection.

  5. Hey guys!

    Just been and tried the new version of the Hub CF, that now has small seconds and no DW.
    Looks pretty cool, and would seem to be easier to make an accurate rep of since the issue with the misalignment of the DW window is not longer an issue that needs to be dealt with!

    I personally love it, and may well get the gen soon!


    Another issue that I wanted to adress is the strange fact that all the hub reps are Swiss ETA movements, or asian ETA, but what is the point in using ETA when Hublot gen movements are not in-house. (With the exception of a select few; HUB9001, HUB6003, HUB8000, HUB6002, HUB9000 and the famous MP02. All of these movements are exceedingly rare in percentage of usage in the Hublot range.)

     

     

    The thing that nobody will ever admit, is that Hublot gen movements are in fact heavily modified Sellita movements.
    Why isn't the Hublot rep range made with Sellita movements, like a certain amount of other reps are?
    The DW Window problem would certainly be easier to fix, along with many other things!

  6. Other than the lugs, it just looks the same as a dozen other ones.

     

    A $500 watch with a $150 movement that they'll sell for $6000. I just don't get it.

    A anti-paneristi eh?

    You shall have to be disciplined, severely...

    ;) 

    OnT: 

    Its not really like the normal ones, since the difference being firstly the size, and the lack of the big and bulky (IMHO.) crown guard.

  7. Hey guys!

    I was at a meeting at my Panerai AD and he introduced me to some of these beauties, the new 1940 Radiomir.

    The case is pretty much a 42mm radiomir case with flat crystal, but the the lugs from the luminor!

    A decent size too, looks beautiful and I hope it will be repped!

    The beauty

    And yes, it does come in 47mm for those of you here who want it larger!  ;)
