there really, really, needs to be a asian ETA-based rep of these for vintage projects. really cool tool watch.

the Ebel won because the gen looks like a rep

once this happens to you once...you don't use paypal anymore. this isn't 1996, there's about 100 other ways to do Internet commerce. if someone won't buy or sell to you unless you agree to use it...that's your tipoff right there.

Someone with a decent printer should get a batch of datewheels going! Looks like a great watch.

I just purchased one of Offshore's toolkits he has assembled for us fine RWG people. It just came in the mail today from Australia and is an excellent value. You guys should check out his tool forum if you havent already and inquire about his products. They will serve me well. Big up Offshore.

Where might I get one of the reps to use as a base for modding? is this a standard cartel product?

I'm also into this...re-evaluating things is always a good idea.

Spain, Hong Kong, the island of Cyprus. PM if you need specific vendor suggestions.

Brees in the purple pic is at a Louisiana State University tailgate party. Their colors are purple and gold. Here in the south pretty much everyone wears team colors to SEC games, not just the students or one section of diehards/ultras.

I use a rep Cartier rollerball regularly. Its also been beat up but as mentioned, takes real refills.

AVB why u buying rep clothes anyway? doesnt the state of trance radio gig pay pretty thick coin?

no one has mentioned luminox or marathon???? as someone said earlier, look at what people deployed in active combat zones are wearing.

i'm a nightclub DJ and music producer. it's been my fulltime job for a year and a half now. after two undergrad degrees and a year of law school...i'm broke as f--k, but very happy. now excuse me i have to go to this club now, drink some free drinks, talk to some girls, play some tunes, and 'work.' cool to see what everyone does.

the man just laced me with a special delivery of straps made by hand in texas. dude knows what he's doing. pics will follow soon. and i never post pics. thanks man. you guys should check out what he does...i'm satisfied.

@lan that solves it then because i had seen some gens (or watches said to be gens ) with the fat #s but more gens with the skinnies. yah i love those cigars mentioned, the h.upmann mag 46, rass, psd4, sig III are my go-to's. partagas lonsdales and shorts are great, boli pcs are good, ERDM choix are soooo good during the day... get at a lancero or a trini if you have a local shop nearby where you can buy habano singles.

I feel like the bezel on rep 1655s could benefit from a stripping/repainting. most gens have narrow numbers, while the rep bezels seem to have fat numbers. check out the gen... as for smokes you cant go wrong with a http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2051/209703...0cd11b0.jpg?v=0 or a couple of http://www.memoirsofacigar.com/wp-content/...88fd54e215.jpeg cant forget the http://www.elpalaciodehierro.com.mx/wcssto...3_15377052P.jpg

you guys trying to fool us with all of those pics of bling watches. surely these are bad reps used in rap videos only. even the subs were surely fake- look at those dials---they look like SECTOR watches... ...which are OK timepieces but cost $200.

i agree with the original daytona pic...is that a rep?

is the rep made out of titanium with a sapphire crystal? the only reason these phones are kind of cool IMO is their durability. otherwise they look like the old nokias that you can buy for $30. (in other words if im giving up my iphone or palm treo i want it to be indestructible)

CHOOOOOOOONE

Anybody want to speak more of their pictured reps? what movements tick inside these...seagull clones? ??

love it too. cheap. really really nice. i need to buy one soon, actually.

i made $5800 last year (in total) according to my W2-the US tax form. (i did a little better than that, i'm a club DJ on the weekends and make money in cash) I've got a 111, a 183, and a JLC Master Date. HUH? I drive a late-nineties black Mustang when I have to drive. Usually i take the train or ride one of my real whips-my vintage and fixie road bikes. However, I'd like to think I look pretty damned good, dress nicely, and can 'pull off' reps pretty damned well. However, if someone realllllly pushes, i'm honest about it. I've received tons of compliments on my watches, had tons of ppl (including bosses etc at the day job) drooling. A couple asshats that got the ambiguous answers they deserved. A couple guys that were genuinely curious and got the truth, also because they deserved it. [censored], even my broke ass (political science and philosophy undergrad degrees!) has been in a position or two where I could have purchased a real Rollie or whatever. I chose to put that money in financial products and to see places like Paris and Rome in the flesh. Do as you like.

The gentleman who responded before me is absolutely correct. The 50 Fathoms is a professionally-done franken rep. It is made according to some sources in Vietnam and not China, which is why our dealers here do not carry them. There is a stockpile of NOS Blancpain movements used by this maker. The cases and casebacks (and sometimes the crowns/stems) are new. It would be cool if the CN rep factories turned their sights to these tool watches a bit more. I love the IWCs, Jaegers, and other older mil-spec style watches. Surely they could make some of these in China and we could then vintage-ise them

Just dug into this guy to fix the dial----it's worked for three years with no issues. A month or two ago the dial started to 'slide' around in the case--- turns out it isn't attached to anything and only held in place by the movement spacers and the tite fit. Finally had the balls to pull out my small screwdriver set (i worked as a low-voltage electrician for a bit) and dig into her. Was impressed with the durability and feel of the ETA movement. Somehow didn't destroy it and was able to unscrew the back, take out the crown, pull out the movement, reset the dial etc without visibly wrecking anything. Now I want to adjust/regulate my Panerai Black Seal 183, which came out of the box running slow.
