Times are a changing.. The world is really topsy turvy

Feel your pain mate and I hope and think that someone of his standing is not going to cheat you over a rep watch..

Hey guys, found this interesting link on Chinese movements which may be helpful to everyone! Http://www.ptresources.com/download/catalogue/PTScatalog.pdf And another for identifying based on movement functions! Http://www.ofrei.com/page1119.html

To be fair that was a cheapie 21j 15300 with a flat dial. The BP versions are nicer!

Hey guys, ** I posted this awhile ago on another forum but completely slipped my mind to share it here as well! Thanks to Legend for reminding me! ** After drooling on pictures on other threads, I finally convinced my wife that she NEEDS an AP Ladies Quartz ref. 67651ST.ZZ.1261ST.01 This is by far THE BEST ladies rep from our Chinese friends and I have the say both me and my wife were stumped with the quality of it! Just as a background behind the hunt for this piece - the mrs has wrists akin to those of a Somalian kid (5.25"), it was almost impossible find a piece that sat nicely on her wrists and one that she liked too! Having bought too any gens for her, it was time to introduce her to the world of reps. (and a perfect excuse for me to buy more reps) Before the review, allow me to give props to the source, TD Lion City Watches aka TimeWillTell aka John. He managed to source this piece easily and even brought in a rare rose gold version of the watch! Abit of teething issues to begin with but once the mural trust was established, dealing was a breeze, I guess that's pretty normal in this line of hobby. On to the piece. In celebration of it's 40th anniversary of the Royal Oak collection, Audemars Piaget in 2012 launched seven iconic new pieces which followed the design codes of its origins - the crowd pleasing octagonal design coupled with slim profile, these were well received by the masses. Amongst them and being in relevance to our rep hobby were: - Royal Oak Tourbillion - Royal Oak ref 15400 - Royal Oak ref 67651ST.ZZ.1261ST.01 Whilst there are plenty of reviews on the former 2, the latter, has (until recently) been less covered, and in fact there have been few ladies reps that have been this accurately replicated. The ladies quartz was produced in a sleek 33mm case and only 7mm thick, it was a perfect dress watch which exudes elegance. Some specs from AP's website: When the watch arrived I was amazed by the quality of it, and how closely replicated this is! The finishing is amazing, tapisserie dial very gen like and bracelet whilst abit stiff, sits comfortably on small wrists! Size: Whilst I mentioned in other threads that the first mod that I would do would be to replace the diamonds in the bezel but I'm glad to say it's not necessary at all! Obligatory wrist shot of the Mrs: After the mrs went to bed, I started to get to work and stripped the watch down to see whatever possessed the factories in china to think that this quartz was worth as much as an automatic watch! (Pardon the pink cloth, it was lying around close by so it did the job) The bezel assembly: Caseback and bezel screw combo: Dial: Clasp: Movement: Vs Gen: Caseback: So I got down to greasing the gaskets and aligning screws. Note that the bezel gasket has a notch at 12: All in all, it's an amazing rep for ladies and definitely one my wife loves! Some couple wrist shots with my 15300: And whilst I can, a comparison of the full range of RO reps: 67651ST.ZZ.1261ST.01-14790-15300-15400 Vs 14790 Vs 15300 Vs 15400 Well that's all I have, but I sure hope you guys have enjoyed the review!

Id say do what I did, buy a second hand sub LV. Never regretted it. Stands out from ordinary subs, can we worn at a dress up even or with casual. Unique enough to be a conversation piece (50th anniversary story) and since I've bought mine, the price has shot up!

"Oh this? It's a knock off! I envy you guys being able to afford a gen piece! But this is all I can afford for now.." That should choke them up abit

I think he has been for awhile?

Actually PAM 44s wear well on my 6.25" wrists. We have a thread over at on the other forum that showcases watches on skinny wrists if you are keen

Gen has blue screws.

Keep it coming mate! Lol

Fantasy double retrograde seconds Patek Phillipe. How I wish I could remove the branding on this piece I do love it for the movement itself!

Day out at the lake.

PP 5712 today, I don't care how in accurate the dial is, it's by far my favorite watch! Come on guys!! Post your Wristies!!

Cheaper alternatives out there I believe..

IWC 3777 on gen IWC strap

It can't fit 24mm? That's a shame. How much did it set you back?

A little red white for my nations birthday! Happy Birthday Singapore!

Ended up with this. Not exactly a wristie but hope it'll do!
