Very nice, just picked up a 6152 myself and they rock!

Nice one, thats a beauty. Congrats on a good find

I think they vary too, I have 3 6497 movements in my current collection, the other being a 6498. They all vary, my 111 will run over 60 hours, the 390 struggles to last 48 and the other two are in the middle somewhere around 52-54.

Sounds like you got a good one!

This new arrival for the last couple of days, now sitting on one of my Ammo straps. Love it.

2533 prior to tonights dial/hand vintagising!

Sosf, Pam 111 and poss Deep Sea ?

I just received this from member on the other RWG board, its brand new and unworn. It originally came from Andrew at TT and is the V2 model. 

To say im happy with this watch is the understatement of the year, when I opened the box the first thing that hit me was the weight, wow, this has a gen feel that is often missing from reps, it feels substantial and well made. 

The Steelfish or SOSF as it is referred to, has been a bit of a grail for me. Not because its a particularly rare piece or out stock at dealers, its just I like to buy from members in the EU if possible and I had missed out on a couple for sale, when I did buy one from a member here I was sent the wrong watch (a milguass) that we agreed I would keep to avoid further shipping. When I spotted this blue one I had to have it. 

Im told the V2 has a superlumed dial and a few tweaks to the bezel and dial font. The lume is very good, much better than my UPO and my recently sold Seadweller. This one has a swiss heart and has run at just +1 seconds over the last 24 hours, very impressive. 

The bracelet is fantastic, I took it off and oiled it over night and it made it even nicer, the clasp is average and the only week point of the watch as far as im concerned. 

The pearl on mine is nicely aligned as is the date window, the rehaut is ever so slightly of to the left as you look at the dial, but its splitting hairs. 

The crown is incredible, it must screw in at least 9 full turns and it winds smooth as silk. It has the nicest action to it that I have ever had, rep or gen. 

If your considering ordering one of these my advice is to go ahead, you wont be disappointed.   

Here are some pics I took this morning, I forgot a lume shot but will sort one later.

My 212 has a few scratches on the crystal which I believe to be mineral.

I would like to replace the crystal for a sapphire but I understand that there is no option for this, or at least there wasnt?

So, does anyone know wear to source a replacement mineral crystal that will fit? Also has anyone tried the and how easy is it to do?

Thanks in advance

Edit - just found this, does anyone know if this will fit? http://www.jacksontse.com/mm104.html

Well said, im pushing 30 now and for the first time feel comfortable wearing a Rolex. At 21,22 etc I felt a bit awkward, even though at that time in my life it was a gen I was wearing and not a rep!

Anyone who would even consider buying a gen off eBay must need their head seen too! & a rep too:)

Yep, I agree. My mate bought a PO from ebay last year, looked a million dollars and we were both convinced it was pukka. Came with box and papers matching the serial number plus a gen leather strap.

He wore it for a year until the crown broke and he took it to goldsmiths who confirmed an asian eta movement was inside. Turns out its an UPO. I was amazed. It goes to show how good some of theses reps are.
