  1. That could also describe why I dumped my last girlfriend. Although I keep telling my new girlfriend that it is more fun to say in and do as posted above instead of, say, shoppping.

    To keep this on topic, Rep boxes usually suck. I can only think of one or two that is close to the real deal, and the Tag is not one of them. Also, there is not really a difference in the quality of the rep boxes. One Tag box is the same as the next one.

    u say what????

    so im only 21 yrs old im young and all and ye.. im innocent and still got a lot to learn.. but what does

    "putting it in take it out... putting it in take it out.. putting it in take it out of the BOX" mean??

    what does a box have to do with girlfriends and what does putting it in and take it out has to do with the whole lot? :p

    ohh and where do babys come from?

  2. man why would u even bother... if it was me id just leave the double ar :S.. at least itll look better.. trust me no one would even call u out.. even AD's.. if the whole thing is close enough and u have AR i bet u even an AD would NOT call u out.

  3. Thanks everyone. Very helpful. It all makes sense now.

    I started really digging the Carrera, but didn't realize there were different sizes (date vs day/date). I was close to ordering the black/red Date version.

    Then I went and tried a few on, the same day I read about the "correct size" rep, and I couldn't make heads or tales of the different sizes. :o

    The only bad news is that I'd only want the Day/Date size, and that can't be had for less than $250...

    Thanks again.

    i kinda think the more price is worth it tho.. considering ull get double ar and also the more accurate datewheel :).. hope this helps.. and for me the 43mm looks better.. :)

  4. i thought the v2 skyland ar has the blue strong tint.. but oh well.. i guess as long as the rep has that gen feeling.. u cant really notice the diff unless u have it side by side? :) since the black colour is close.. and well lets just say that even without the arrow i doubt anyone can see it from distance

  5. first generation of the rep of the tag carrera daydate is wrong in dimensions.. however the 43mm rep is right.. im not sure what ur asking.. but ye.. the difference between the first tag heuer carrera (41mm) and the 2008 model is the case diameter, introduction of arabic numeral and also the introduction of day/date instead of just the date.. i hope this help

  6. man when it comes to freakin panerais.. unless it's 5218-202/a.. i have no idea at all about it.. but in a way im anal about accuracy dont ask me why..

    so since its freaking so hard to find a pre-v case these days.. i thought ill just put my pre-v project on a halt for now.. and actually try and get a normal pam...

    i just went to angus' site and found these 177f.. i dunno if its accurate or not... but any takers? all i can say is that the l swiss l is in a good position... any comment?? flaws?? and wat not?

    ps: i have not found any reviews about this watch anywhere.. can anyone please point out all the flaws on this piece? thankssss

  7. @armin. Those look like standard Rep lugs to me.

    This is the profile lug you are looking for:

    thanks... im kinda looking for the same case.. do u have any idea on who or how i can get it from right at this moment? :(

    and i got offered this case.. it looks like an automatic case to me :(

  8. Look how low those lugs are... That's a big skip in my opinion... Not worth it :)

    well ubi here it is.. i actually got it today.. i dunno what ur opinion is on them but..

    2hzmsm8.jpg

    it is pretty much a davidsen to me.. i just compared it to a dsn case.. it's pretty similar in nature and shape.. do you think it's worth of using this case for a pre-v? or should i hunt for a better one??

    i got all the perfect parts.. i just need a pre-v case

  9. You have 4 posts so far, and obvious you did not read the forum rules concerning AD visits with reps and posting about it.. :p

    So Kaslan, may I ask you a question? Why did you go with it to the AD?? Was that the only way to check if it is really Swiss? Did you notice how fast you got your answers here at RWG

    Most AD's are no fools and will always stay polite instead of calling you out having a fake. Also when they don't really believe your story about a gift from a relative. They would never show you that. They might not know all about the 28.8 & 21.6 rep movements and how good the 21.6 looks like gen Hublot movement. But how many times do you think guys come in the AD store with lame excuses like 'I got this from a relative and want to check blabla' or 'i bought this and can you check if it is fake'? Happens more than we think.

    The only thing the AD should have done is to hold the watch under a light bulb and see how fast the lume strength would die. Then he would have seen in half a minute it was a fake B)

    And by the way, Replicahause is indeed a scam site. Like all the members here say, to high prices, typical common lies on their website about Swiss, best gen-like steel, sapphire, usage of gen pictures, etc. Actually it is all the nonsense a noob wants to hear actually. Sorry to say.

    And yes, there are NO ETA 7750 in Hublot reps this moment. And the full ceramic 28.8 (best because of the brushed mid-plates on the case) versions don't have the H sticker, don't have correct rotor, don't have rotor engraving, don't have fine regulator.

    just my 2 cents.

    if it was that freakin easy to tell and "experts" can easily identify reps woop dee doo.. how come when little hero (the first time ever) posted a pic of his 111h.. the so called "expert" in these board forum were all like "THATS A GEN!" and when i twice posted my gen day date and skyland.. both time i get the same so called "expert" on here sayin "its a franken.. and make up some lame reason"

    stop seriously kidding urself calling urself an expert.. ok in some cases reps are easily spotted but in other cases.. its [censored]ing hard!

  10. When you get it, please post some pics!! I'll be very interested to see this one in better detail...

    :)

    will do man.. but i got a bad feeling about it.. well anyway if you can find a source in the mean time.. letmme know as well.. coz hell i really need stupid case for my pre-v.. but i dont want standard rep case if i was gonna dlc it.. i need something close to the pre-v shape.. id rather wait!

    i dunno whether im getting too excited or what.. that my eyes are playing tricks on me.. but does this look ok? like to me the lugs doesn't look like normal rep lugs.. but then again i might be bias.. coz i wanna believe to myself that it's correct

  11. ok lets bring this thread back.. as im still hunting!.. so yeah.. anyone found a good source for pre-v cases yet?? or seriously.. who can make cases? like if someone like jimmy can make a contemporary 1:1.. can't someone else make a 1:1 pre-vendome series?
