I'm looking at buying a PVD / carbon rep. What are your favorites? I haven't been in rep scene in a long time. thanks, K

Sorry for reviving this thread. Nice Gen ! I was wondering if anyone know what CASE MODEL # of the REP is ? If I wanted to swap case backs with a gen, I wanted to make sure it would fit. Would a 861 case (145.022) fit a replica speedy moon watch ? The same one Pugz posted in his first post ? I am willing to swap a "clear" case back for a solid one (that fits). cheers!

Is there someone that you recommend to do a movement servicing, and luming for a replica Omega Moon Speedmaster ? I live in Canada and The Zigmeister would have been perfect. Thanks!

Does anyone have have solid caseback for a replica moon watch? I have one of the original dome versions and looking to either buy or trade in the glass back for a solid cover. cheers, K

Crap.. what does a full stem suppose to look like ? I'm thinking its not worth it for a $100 watch.

Got a pic.. looks like the stem did not snap off.. I'll open it up later this week to see if it'll go in. Is there a pictorial of how to do this on this forum somewhere? Thanks.

Ok, I'll have to take a closer look by opening up the case. The stem is still attached to the crown. Broken stem ? worth fixing ?

Hi, I bought a Noobmariner, originally from TK less than a year ago. I gave it to a friend and a week ago he says the crown fell out while he was adjusting it. Is this a common problem ? How can I fix it myself ? Thanks! K

Hi folks, A while back I posted a possible group buy for some Tudors from Phong. I've been waiting and waiting and Phong has let me down. Only recently (3 months later), does Phong say he will be getting some in a couple of weeks. Originally wanted 6, but can only provide 3. Says the quality is great ! but no bracelet. This is an amazing watch, but I'm tired of waiting and now there's no bracelet with the watch at the agreed price... I bailed (Phong owes me my deposit still!) sorry for getting everyone's hopes up. I forget who I was dealing with, so I thought I just post a msg to everyone. If you are still interested in the the best Tudor rep on the market go talk to Phong directly and perhaps you can work out a deal with him. PM me for details and how much to expect to pay.. Thanks, Ken

What do you guys think about this watch? Apparently you can get a good deal from more riskier deals such as this one.. Cal. 861, vintage looking dial. Seller says it has a hesalite crystal. Box BUT NO papers. Item: 190209055589 Thanks, Ken

Is this a x-33 rep i assume? it has two movements.. both quartz that is powered by two batteries. if the analog one is dying, it probably just needs a battery replacement. But if this is a gen.. PM me

Thanks. How can I forget about the cal. 321 ! I may be wearing this watch daily, so the only thing I'm afraid of vintages is that it'll wear it down quicker.. 321s requiring more servicing than a 861/1861? I do prefer the authentic moon watch ! but I'm on a budget of $1000 - $2000 for a Gen.

Any insight from those who know Omegas and the history of Moon watches? If i was interested in getting a gen 3750, would you purchase a vintage cal.861 or a more modern cal.1861 ? Sapphire or Hesalite and what to look out for ? Any suggested places to look for used omegas other than ebay? gen forums maybe? Thanks! K

I haven't visited in a few days! The 7928 didn't meet my expectations and I told Phong about this already. There were no 7928s available for replacement at the time of delivery, so there is a wait if carlsbadrolex wants a replacement. Phong sounds like a nice guy, but tried to squeeze out of getting a decent bracelet. He claims the 9411s will be much better. We will find out shortly. I'm glad the case finally opened! I must have been too excited and squeeze my ofrei ball like there was no tomorrow! Those Ofrei balls are quite good! I will resolve any issues with Phong so everyone is happy, or otherwise I'm not going to continue with the purchases... Oh just for reference.. phong does normally sell these watches for $850. The dial by itself $265. Hands $95.

Oh, btw, the pic of the sub above with the snowflake hands is not the one that I'm hoping in getting.. the true 9411 has a date window.

Did someone say snowflake hands ??

Back door as in Phuong gives me a special under the table deal or something? I don't know.. I haven't confirm any specifics yet. All I know is I'm using normal channels hoping to get a good deal for a few individuals... My cost is yours.. No one is making any money here except maybe for Phuong

Nice pic... Guangzhou has changed a lot these past 10 years.. last time I was there was back in '96... !

I apologize for getting everyone's hopes up so soon. There will be a wait - at least a month, and the first batch will be of VERY limited quantity. Even if we don't get any, I hope these pics will bring a smile.. feel free to scrutinize these pics as much as possible.

Sorry, I thought Phong could provide me the goods in a large quantity, but there is going to be a wait. I got everyone's hopes up ! Sorry guys, but there will be another time for this.. I will try my best to acquire as many as I can. Update: Please let this thread die, I will update everyone later if I get better news. Phuong doesn't have the right stock now and I want to make sure everything is for real before taking any risk. I'll post some pics, since everyone luvs pics shortly..

Update: Phong doesn't have the stock to supply such a buy at this time... No 9411s, a couple of 7928s, and the Monte Carlo is in league of its own. Sorry folks, I guess if you really want a Tudor, we'll have to arrange something in the future. If I hear more, I will let everyone know. Thanks, Ken

Thanks! My bro is actually going there in a couple of days. Those directions are very generic to say the least... Gam Si Lao... Watch district.. I guess everyone in Guangzhou would know where that is Yeah i don't know how you would be able to update us while you're there... have fun!

just curious, where abouts in Guangzhou are the main shopping areas for watches, etc.. ?
