I'm guessing thats from a 312/320 , I would consider carefully any purchase purely based on what I've seen on the Datewheels of these movements.  There are much better to be had 

Luckily I wasn't looking to purchase the watch, I was just interested in the movement a particular dealer was using.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Why do I have my suspicions that Minuteman is FakeWatchBusta? 

I'm quite set on the latest SD.

It will most likely go straight onto a nato.

 

In my opinion this is a great choice and You will love it - straight onto NATO while You lube and soak the bracelet, some use WD40 others just baby-oil. Than back on bracelet again. It´s nice because it´s got the engravings (just for info: the TC has them shaved/sanded off so You can´t use it on NATO). Get this one now, You can always order the TC Submariner with Cyclops later and use both or just stay with this one.

It´s the correct choice - Seadweller

The correct model: 16600 series/ classic

great lume and well replicated, go for it;

stated as waterproof which is a good starting point

I appreciate the reply! 

I'm rather convinced I will be quite satisfied with the SD from perfect clones. I'm looking forward to the purchase and bringing you an update with pics 

I think it's a Seagull ST-26 a Chinese copy of the ETA 2892-2.

+1 Seagull ST26, the 6 o'clock balance wheel has straight spokes and the plates are re-finished/detailed. ETA and GZ versions of this design (2836-2) have angled wheel spokes and non-detailed plates.

I love your work.

Thanks to you both!

Is anyone able to help me out?

I'm looking for someone to be able to tell me the movement of this piece from the photo.

Your time and expertise is appreciated.

Not to bring the thread back to the topic but.....

Can someone tell me what the lug size is on the Blancpain? It's staring to grow on me

I'm 98% sure they are 23mm.

Damn JP now don't start talking about the topic everyone will get confused.

Confused me for a second to be honest. I read the thread title and went, oh... haha

I do love TC and BK's builds however the piece I plan to purchase will probably endure a thrashing. Maybe all the more reason to buy from TC/BK. The fact it won't be looked after, i.e. susceptible to scratching, makes the price hard to justify.

I'm quite set on the latest SD.

It will most likely go straight onto a nato.

I'm very interested in the flaws of this piece. I've been looking into the same one at perfect clones. Same price. 

As far as I can tell, it seems to be the closest to gen of any base rep rolex thus far? Excluding TC and BK.

I'm also curious whether I would be able to live with the bracelet that it comes with. I'm most likely going to put it on a nato though so it probably won't bother be too much.

Looking forward to the pics and your thoughts.

I got a prohunter sub from TT and it passed a 5ATM dry test. For a beater, I think it's fine but the PVD looks cheap (almost transparent) so prepare to get it recoated. Because of this, I don't know if they are worth what they are charging for it. I'm sure I'll love it when I get mine back but that's another $200 invested that I'll probably never see again.

I think that's enough information to deter me. Haha

Hmmm... I'm leaning towards a sub. What are the alternatives?

I'm looking for a sporty piece I can use as a daily beater.

What are your thoughts on the Pro Hunter Stealth Explorer II, in comparison to the gen?

If you have other suggestions, please share. 

Some of you may cringe but I've been looking into a sub on a nato strap as well. 

Your thoughts and opinions are appreciated.

I appreciate the overwhelming response. 

Overwhelmed is exactly how I feel haha. 

AJ's 029 is amazing. It's out of my price range for this purchase though. 

I believe my attraction to the Pro Hunter GMT and the PAM026K is their ability to be subtle and modest. I'm guessing I'm now looking for flaws in relation to the gen.

Interesting we have similar attraction to style, mstan83.

I've been looking into other PAM 029's in my price range.

Explorer -42 same as you hate GMT hand

39mm better if your wrist not to big.

 

pro hunter -had do not like

 

42 PO +++ Likey

 

Tag- either way.nice but does little for me.

 

Pams 056c nope 026 yes ++ but that is just me.

I think I'm with you. 

I'm going to rule out the 42mm Explorer II.

I'm on the verge of ruling out the 39mm Explorer as well. As much as I want a white dial SS Explorer II.

I agree with you on the 42mm PO, it looks great. I'd prefer my first purchase to have a GMT hand though.

The PAM 026K I'm in love with and will be the exception having no GMT.

What were your thoughts on the Pro Hunter GMT? I'm leaning towards it at the moment, as it looks good with a nato strap as well.

After doing my research, I'm stuck. 

I'm sure I have the same problem as all of you here, there are too many timepieces on my wish list and I need your help in making my first purchase. I know each watch in my list I would receive and thoroughly enjoy, however I want my first to be exceptional.

I'm sure it'll come down to personal preference regarding style, but I would still love to hear your thoughts.

I've decided I am not too fussed on the watch encasing a swiss made movement and will be satisfied with an asian clone.

Here are my choices:

Rolex - 2011 Explorer II 42mm White (the only problem I have with this is the GMT hand colouration)

Rolex - Explorer II 39mm White

Panerai - PAM 056C (yes I know it's a lefty)

http://www.p-cls.com/0pn056c02-056c-tobacco-brown-p-12949.html

Panerai - PAM 026K (also a lefty)

http://www.p-cls.com/pn026k02-026k-lefty-dlcle-p-11748.html

Don't get me wrong, this is the short list. The long list is ah... long. I'm just looking at pieces that are within a certain price range if they were to be gen.

Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward to your opinion.

I'm also looking into the GMT master's on perfect clones (Josh). I'm going to look into Sead's though. Price will also be a factor. I'm happy to go with an asian clone.

I'm impressed. Not too badly priced...

Now on Brady sailcloth

I'm rather impressed. I personally like it more on the sailcloth.

In my drinking days I loved a good 50 year old single malt whiskey. The brand is non importanto.,

Just those prerequisites and it's always delicious! 

I second this. However haven't had the pleasure of indulging too often. Maybe that's why it will always hold it's place.
