how many do you need?

Please don't bid if you can't pay , this makes 3rd time trying to SELL this item .

lol

I agree. This part requires no special skills to remove.

I mean, if they can make a 1:1 case (and even a tourbillon movement), they sure should be able to engrave some letters onto a rotor

that thing should be engraved. but judging from the pictures, they have the wirting applyied with stick on letters which is a bad thing IMO.

and its not sooo hard to engrave the rotor (just in case someone comes out of his hole and starts yelling "HEEY engraving a rotor is sooooo damn complicated, its even harder than to manufacture a grande complication!!!"), the older (and some of the newer) 7750 Panerai rotos were engraved and the unitas bridges are also engraved.

Yeah, but what id the movements come from one source, cases from another and you're just the guy that assembles them?

Then you do the following (it is really simple, I think not too hard for anyone, even for those without a degree!):

Unscrew screw, take plate off, Print on plate, put plate back on, turn screw tight.

Pressure?

Since when does a printer apply excessive pressure onto anything?

why would a printed mark "break" a movement?!

but the position of that power reserve thingee is totally different from all the power reserve pams, isnt it?

Yeah, well Clive was being quiet, so I had to stand in for him.

He's probably doing his "bike-like" thingee right now!

I think finepics knows how to do it, and I think he also offers or offered this service!

gen or rep? what watch was this picture taken of?

I buy replicas (note lack of apostrophe ...)

Mr. Grammar is speaking

someone here has actualy met the guys from ofrei. He even posted a pic of himself and mr. frei as far as I remember

Lange is a GREAT WATCH

but it is IMPOSSIBLE to replicate it... this movement is UNBELIEVABLE

which movement you will used for Lange replica? ETA 2836-2??? Looks total different from genuine :yucky:

but on Seahwawk it is a solid caseback, so you can´t see the wrong movement from replica version.

They can do a solid caseback or whatsoever. the Lange has no complications on the front and a 6497 would work good in that watch. The casing could probably be 1:1 and as long as the dial is 1:1 and the casing, I dont care!

As for the seahawk, I doubt Jay can do it so easily. You know why? Because it has a Power Reserve indicator. To replicate this, they would have to modify the ETA movements which I HIGHLY doubt they CAN and WILL do. As we said, NO complications and I count the power reserve indicator as a complication

btw. my 2nd choice would have been the ebel!

I found out that Bob was an IDIOT about a year ago...and immediatly stopped buying from him, reported my expreience on the old RWG and suggested that no one buy anything from him.

He's an idiot, if I lived in CA I would go over to his shop just to punch him in the face...

RG

LOL, I would probably do the same

this frei guy sounds like a big douche to me. I would have filed a chargeback for the movements if I was you (at least I would have threatened him)

how can i make the [censored] bigger?

seriously, didnt you post the exact same topic like 3 days ago and didnt you get a very good answer from MAHLER including pictures and all that?

Go Lange!!!

We need at least 1 good lange rep

I'd be interested to know the cost to manufacture these bags... likely under $25-50... someone in China is making a lot of money

repo watches cost from 8-20$ for an eta sub at a watch market in the far east (means not the factory price, the factory price will be even lower) and yet they sell for 200$ here.

@insane and @vmena you guy's need to understand that the bags that sash and I sell are in fact priced (in many occassions) less than 10% of original.

Take a look at sash's Chloe Paddington for instance they gen is worth over $1600

Yes you can get many generic bags or even minor branded bags for for only a couple of hundred but when you start talking about LV, Chloe, Hermes you are getting up in the thousands, what makes a leather bag worth that much..............hey what makes a Rolex worth $7,000..............brand name.

Ken

The men's bags are not priced at 10% of the original. As far as I remember they cost from 200-300$.

The real deal only costs 800 at la fayete and around 500 at an outlet store.

I paid about 120$ including shipping (was a huge parcel) for my dunhill bag from andrew and its really top quality. but 120$ was my absolute limit for that bag!

My suggestion would be to sort all of the mentioned watches out that could be done with either a 6497 or a 2836 / 2824 / 2892 and then put all of them up (with pictures of course) and let all the members vote.

This would be the fairest option IMO. Also I dont think they can do the power reserve thing so easy on the Seahawk, and as far as I understood this, the watch should be as easy to produce as possible.

There was a lottery?

Congrats, Ken.

my thoughts exactly

Ok, then I use the same argumentation. Lets do the PLEASE-INSERT-WATCH-OF-YOUR-CHOICE-WITHOUT-COMPLICATION, because its just the perfect candidate and fulfils most of the criteria!

damn, I wish they'd rep that fancy lookin bracelet, too!

ZZZZZZZZ. They last thing we need is another dressy watch. Have you ever noticed how many of these end up for sale because they get no wrist time?? Pateks, Glashuette, A Langes, Jaegers, etc----They are nice, but kind of boring. Besides, I don't know too many people who can pull off wearing $15,000 watches.

Why would they wanna rep watches that can be bought genuine for under 1 grand? Theres no logic behind this.

Most Replicated watches cost between 5 and 20k brand new. Or do you think the fiddy or the 1938 pams are sold at wal mart for a dime??

Whats the problem with a dress watch? Ok, its not good watch if you want to draw attention to yourself, because they barely get noticed by others (unlike an "OH-MY-HOLY-LORD-IS-THAT-BIG"-monster)

Btw. have you ever noticed how many pams end up for sale?
