no thats not it..., the obvious mistake with this is the location of the crown. i suppose if you want to be picly then the date is also wrong, but other than that its pretty good IMHO. one of the few autavia reps that have a working chono as well no need to apologies, i'll still sleep well

sorry im a bit late to the party, but better late than never managed to take a half decent photo of a few of my watches, so i give you the TAG HEUER Autavia... Spot the obvious mistake....

Ah understood thanks Wannabe

care to elaborate? not sure what you mean but that? the UTC actually runs in 12hr mode, its only marked as 24hrs Thanks again for your reply

hello all i've had this Breitling for a while now and thought it could do with a make over. nothing too drastic i just want to replace the face/dial with something more upto date / accurate its a huge 49mm across (without crown) and the chrono dials work, thus: 10th /sec @ 12 seconds @ 6 minutes @ 9 sorry about the library picture, (mine is exactly the same) my camera is rubish but it gives me an exuse to go buy a new one so, any of you have any recommendations or ideas as to what i could replace the current dial with? and places i could get it what i'd like to do eventually is take off the UTC dial (will probably go onto another Breitling) and put a nice chuncky strap on it. i've just seen this thread http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=2260 and seen italiano17771 super avenger, that is the stage i'd like to get to, thats just stunning! any help will always be welcomed thanks Wannabe

Teejay, good call, i'll give that site a quick once over fxr Andy, thanks for helping me narrow it down a bit once agian, thanks a bunch people !!!

Thanks very much for your input so what you're basically saying is, "bin it, is a useless piece of tat" just out of interest is there a name for this movement? (apart from POS etc etc ) the actuall watch is about 6 years old and was a daily wearer until it stopped, but i didn't want to throw it away as i thought i could do something with it. so, what could/should i do if i don't want to persue trying to fix it, as you say its a low end asian movement. could i use another movement? if so whats the recommended one? if not, anybody want to buy a SS strap and casing??? :lol: thanks again

Hello all Im just about to begin my first project to bring back to life a watch I

welcome neighbor! (sort of... ) i've only been here a few weeks but alredy learnt loads. ou'll really like it here. you inthe north or south of the UK? regards Wannabe

bling-tastic!

thanks for you feedback guys, its much appreciated. any critizism can only be a good thing, right?! allow me to answer/reply to each of you: thanks for the reply, and yes, i did ask for it! but there's no harm, as i said in my post im really getting into the whole modding scene so no worries. i didn't pay to much and its not the only reps i have. i was given these by someone who didn't want them and in total i was given one of these: and one of these : both of which im going to eventually "mod" as and when and the grand total i paid for them was

depends on what type of dress you want to wear

Sweet! looks great

hello all! took some [very amature-ish] photos of my submariner, thought i would ask what you guys thought of it. after doing a liitle research to find out how close this was to a real sub, all i've managed to work out is: 1. The 'm' on the end of the line : 1000ft = 300m dosn't align with the 'm' in the word 'chronometer' below 2. there isn't a small rolex logo etched below the 6 mark thats the only flaws i could see, but im sure there are poeple who could point out a few more. i've not opened the back so don't know too much abou the movment, but im planning to buy some basic tools. i've become really interested in replicas and the whole modding scene so im gonna used this as my first "project" anythy thoughts would be very welocomed!

Magnificent! its plain to see its a quality watch and that the reason i've just bought one as well (pics comiing soon!) i've got a couple of question you might be able to help me with, all i wanted to know was what the dimentions were of the watch? this will help me a out a bit. its just so i can determin if my sub is smaller than most or if i need to get new glasses! once again, a very hansome watch! regards Wannabe

fantastoc pictures, once i take decent pictures of mine i'll post mine up as well open question to everyone, (and a bit of a ramdon one at that) are there different sizes of rep subs? the only reason i ask is some 'wrist shots' pictures i've seen on this forum the watch looks quite big compared to my watch on my wrist, but i've taken measurements of an genuine sub and mine matches perfectly, as does the weight. so do people on here have unusualy thin wrist or do i need to get new glasses! thanks people!

Hello One and All Thought i would drop everyone a line and say hello. Just recently got into replicas and and find the whole thing realy fasinating. I've got a collection building and so far the total of watches i have are in excess of.... ..... ..... 5! they are of varying degrees of quality, but the best ones i have are the Rolx Sub and an Omega Seamaster Co-axcel. i'll post pictures of all of them soon im in the UK, london to be precise. so would be nice to hear from any one close by. anyway, thats me cheers Wannabe
