yo kruzer. That looks exactly like the 004 i bought of a user on trc some years ago. Is this one yours?
-
Nautilus and Aquanaut are great watches but sadly at my age I would not be able to pull them off, secondly my work doesnt require me to wear a suit/shirt attire. Its more of a casual affair, so I was looking for something a little less formal.
Id say these two watches are definetly the most casual/sporty of the patek line. Compared to all the other models these are the ones that work with jeans and a t-shirt.
-
so its just a fantasy rep, with a tudor movement? Bizarre scheme to come up with:-)
Looks really good though
-
Im really in to the look of this watch, and i remember one for sale on these forums some years ago (could have been on trc). When i do a serach and look around the military watch pages, the watch comes up as a franken/replica.
Do any of you guys know the story about it? Did it ever exist

What a crazy piece
And look. You can even sharpen your pencils at back:-)
Monstrous is the first word that comes to mind when gazing upon the Dewitt Incognito 2008, a design that is the lovechild of a a collaboration between DeWitt and French architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. At first glance, the Incognito looks to be a little fat and perhaps clumsy; on closer inspection, however, you can see what a truly amazing timepiece this is. Technical aspects of the Incognito are most impressive, it features a flying tourbillon which is used to counteract the force of gravity and keep the watch accurate. There are also five barrels and has a power reserve that ought to keep you covered for up to three weeks.
The watch is overblown in absolutely every way imaginable, with a definite steampunk vibe; all part of the appeal. The riveted case makes for quite a long watch which would probably be more of a timekeeping gauntlet than a wristwatch, not that I am complaining; this thing has presence.
As you can imagine, all of this heavy metal, leather and fine clockwork costs a pretty penny; Jimmy Tan of Prince Jewellery and Watch Company in Hong Kong snapped up the Incognito '08 for a lazy 400,000 Euro or $632,941.

its so weird. im dead in love with other genta creations (nautilus, royal oak, ingy), but the vco just never had my interest. Very weird indeed.
-
Hillarious. I was just wondering where you got that 195, since it was such a good rep. Then i realized it was a gen. Absolutely fantastic.
And the eod. You just clarified a giant mystery for me. I couldnt work out wether the hands were yellow with white lumed center (like on my rep version), or the other way around. Apparently there were some rep versions with the wrong hands, but mine is correct:-) Well at least the hands are.
Super good to have you onboard
-
this one is actually really old. It was released last year. They still havent fixed the wrong allinghi caseback.
Forget about it
-
aargggggghhhhh. You took My fathers swooooooooooaaaaaard
sorry about that. For some bizarre reason i thought it was fitting.
-
wish i could help you there, but i really dont know. Id say, try the stuck pin from the other end. It might work.
-
its just the mbw/mbk version. The price isnt even too bad, considering the quality of the piece (its outstanding i have one). If you want to go through our dealers, i suggest paso or ttk.
Btw, this is not the same watch as other dealers are advertising. Do a search for mbw royal oak jumbo, and check it out. There are many threads about this piece.
The gold screws look awesome aswell. Not as gold, as on the pictures.
-
Or you could just wear the straps that come with the rep panerais. Not much "real" leather in them;-)
-
Basically all limited nike shoes are repped. Especially the nike skateboarding shoes. There are some seriously limited sneakers outthere being passed of as gen.
-
didnt Che Guevara wear the gmt?!
-
Come on guys. There is no way that he s wearing a 147 on the first pic. He arms would have to be humungus to make the watch look that small.
Its the same watch, and the reflection looking like the crystal on the first pic, is just the bezel. Remember that the pvd coating on the gens is not as matte as on the davidsen reps we are used to.
id definetly say pam base pvd of some sort.

As far as the girl is concerned......you should have leant over and quietly whispered in her ear...."it's genuine....but it gives him a sense of satisfaction to feel superior by demeaning others....and I'm not selfish enough to pisss in his Corn Flakes.......can I get you adrink....?..."
Thats the way to do it :D :D
but as you said. every rolex is assumed a copy. The brand has really lost a lot of credibility.
-
I had a sub lv, and a daytona. I decided it wasnt worth it. rolex is a fairly mass produced brand, so the watches arent that exotic, once you get used to them. The thrill doesnt stay that long.
Id go for an mbw, or something the like. Virtually there is no difference. If you ad a gen dial, and a gen bracelet, you have the same watch.
If it was really hard to earn that money, i think youd be better of with a rep.
And im all for gens, just not when it comes to rolexes. They just dont seem worth the price.
-
thats a beauty. very nice. :ohmy:
-
real one, you does teh math
thats the prototype. the final production one doesnt have the raised bezelscrews. Also it has different chronopushers.
None the less its a fantastic watch. The gen is titanium i think.
Im so happy the rep makers are finally bringing out all these roo models.
maybe its time for an audemars section? ja ja?!?
-
LOL Thats so funny with the hour counter.
Now thats one pimping watch right there.
Got a a counter for the hos (hoes) and everything. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
i bet they could replicate the look pretty well with plastic. Would be fine for me. And th weight would be the same.

check out his other topics. Seems kinda babblefishy

All power to the hublonians. They inventet hublonium, and singlehandedly tore down the whole replica industry. Whats next you say?!!
After their quest to rid the earth of replicas, they will return to their homeplanet hublot in their hubloplanes. Where they will cook up another hublomatic scheme involving eta 7750s wrapped in jellybeans. Which will the be sold for the handsome price of
ONE BILLION DOLLAR
They will rule the world with this watch. And their only weakness is the evil gang of true manufacture, The handsome prince of vacheron constantinopolopolis.
we will watch in awe as the saga continues.
