Well, as Pix said: we are proud owners of custom Patek Nautilus Imagine the face of the AD salesman, aware of these custom Nautilus of course, if one of us enter their shop to have a replacement battery for our kid's quartz watch...

Guys, I'm a little confused and really need your help. If we do remove the central second hand, this Pix version or the MBK one, will be exactly like the gen , or do I miss something here ? Cheers Stephane

I could simply send it to you in fact. Your skills in pictures and reviews are excellent And, should you come to the conclusion it is the same, then I might ask yours so I can give my opinion too I understand it is the same designer as the VCO and AP RO but it's a totaly different one to my opinion. Like the Ingy in example, not the same watch at all either. I mean, if you do stats on what watch you really wear, you come to a conclusion that some of them never gets wristime. It' is/was the case for the VCO and the AP RO but it might not be the case with the "magic blue dial", who knows Cheers Stephane

Thanks for this review Pix. (And congrats for your thousand "interrestin" post too). I'm very curious of how I will like my Nautilus when it arrives from Thailand. All the pics I've seen, including your rep of the rep, are great. But I start to think like you: 450$ for an Eta based rep with no genuine parts seems a lot of money. Specialy when I'm not even sure I will like it and keep it... I got rid of my AP RO MBK Jumbo already and I think the VCO might be the next one. Maybe we could have a nice review of your Nautilus and mine in the future? Let's think about that and how to do it... Cheers and thanks again for the information. Stephane

Wow...that is a nice serie !

Indeed but where does it come from ?

I agree with Freddy here. It's such a nightmare to take my GW off my wrist to put something else... I always wait for either "where I go" or "what I wear" ... Most of the time the final choice is a late and very hard decision

Indeed. It was not easy to get the right date and date window though... A look inside ? and the case back It's an amazing design that I almost never wear but I think it would be one of the last I would sell @Lord Rasta: Mine came from Andrew (Trusty) Cheers Stephane

Who said patience is a vertue ? Congratulations!!! I like the Pam GMTs a lot. I guess I'll need more than 2 years to get a good one like you Cheers Stephane

I would like to thank Watcher for going forward in buying that watch and review it for us. I also would like to thank all our usual experts for adding their comments. It's a very insterresting thread for our community for sure. It shows how much we love the Sub but also that the best sub will probably never exist right out of the box I'm sure that most of us, after buying so many different versions, modding them with gen parts, could have afford to buy a brand new genuine one from an AD. But, that is the fun in this hobby: we will never get bored and still have hope for a next "best" rep version as opposed to simply buying a genuine downtown Cheers Stephane

I agree Starts to be interresting indeed

I am sorry to say but ... Who has the best sub ? ROLEX

Oh LordRasta...I'm a "getting older noob" knowing what he likes ...finaly

Well like some of you I have a favourite. No surprise here : The GW But like most of us, I do rotate and very soon I will rotate these...

Very nice gesture and cute idea too. That should be done here for sure. Maybe a NON branded watch would be a better option to avoid too much custom issues... Cheers Stephane

Wonderfull addition ! I love your posts... Thanks Stephane

Hi Bruxe Welcome to Brussels and to RWG. Forget about JLC replicas. Everyone here would love to get accurate JLC but none exist so far. For the other brands, you will find everything you want! Cheers Stephane

Well, I am waiting some new babies from this familly newt week .... So I can't resist today:

Well, as I already said, let's wait untill something really "super" comes out. We've all been dreaming of a SD since we're kids probably...so, I can wait for another year if necessary.

Ah, then your safe David. This Joe is indeed ours And is totaly safe !!! Cheers Stephane

Hi David, Do you mean Joe from RWG...this forum? Or do you mean Joe, from another forum? The reason I ask is that Joe is banned here, and seem to be a scamer. The other reason I'm asking is that you are in Canada... Ziggy is in Canada, and so far, no one complains about his work while lots of people complain about that Joe work. Please, be prudent. Your watch is not dead...it only needs a good watchsmith. Cheers Stephane

Baume et Mercier is so under-estimated these days. It used to be a manufacture once. Anyway, congrats on your new B & M (sounds classier than B & R to me, at least). Your triple adjustable deployment clasp looks very nice. For reference, here is my genuine one: Enjoy your new Baume et Mercier Lanikai. Cheers Stephane

We should give you a medal for this Watcher Paying that kind of money to help the community to decide if this guy, George, is a scamer or not is an incredible gesture. I'm sure your review will be the TOP 1 thread of 2007 Thank you very much. Cheers Stephane

Rocket...you should start to take money as soon the test dial is OK. 45 is not a big deal if one really intend to buy it
