I see, in that case this is way overpriced. Thanks.

I was just checking these new releases out:

They look pretty nice I think. I haven't gotten any reps since 2014. And never had a Rolex. YachtMaster has always been my favorite but I stayed away from Rolex for all those years. 

But now, this looks kind of tempting. 

Any thoughts about those new Noob models?

Thanks!

The last number was 150. The 151 one was done purposely.

I switched it to seagull, no issues.

New ones run at $358. They used to be much less but not anymore.

Looks like the price went up too. It's not bad though, a decent update.

So there is really no reason to pay extra for ETA anymore.

I did the same thing with JLC Navy Diver since the movement it had was crap and could not even be regulated.

I had the Seagull installed in mine, brand new also serviced and regulated. Deviation is only 2+ seconds a day. I put the watch crown up for the night and it goes back 2-. So it keeps perfect time. The movement was $90.

It's really a no brainer, and it is as accurate as the gen.

Make sure you service the movement.

A guy at my work bought few homage pieces based on Panerai historic models, 111 etc. They are piece of [censored] compared to Noob or H Fact.

I think it looks cool!

I read a detailed review with pictures on a different forum posted by someone who received it and it gets major thumbs up. So I wanted to share it here. This is possibly a best Patek rep now.

Bummer that you cannot get this one anymore. The updated version with Miyota movement has wrong hands that are too thin.

Looks as good as it can.

Nobody will tell. Don't worry about it at all.

Kuvarsit PAM 564 Titanium should be your best choice at the moment.

I got Gen XS and it is great, way better then rep. Expensive, but who cares... Look how much we spend on reps in a first place.

V6, V7, V8.... VXX, they all have and will have issues. One thing gets fixed, another gets messed up. That will never change. Just enjoy whatever you have.

Yes, you have to service it, no matter what movement your rep

came with. You can of course risk it and have the movement eventually die.

But the weakest part off the rep is not the movement but the threads in screw down crowns. They will die before your movement and in most cases are not replaceable. So your rep will be only good to sell off for parts.

That said, you can make rep choices based on that.

Any crappy Asian 2824 that comes in reps can be replaced with a brand new Seagull 2824.

And serviced will last you a life time.

Now make sure you get it serviced so it can run great for many years.

You cannot go wrong with 390. Best SS Pam you can get.

@Mike on a bike. I did not know that about 30 days.

I'm lucky to live in an area where I can try on any watch you would ever want to try on. So getting it later online would not be a big deal. The only Gens I'm looking at are from JLC and Glashutte. But I would never go to a place like Joma. Buying from dealers at rolexforums seems like a best way to me. You'll get way better personal service and way better prices.

Panerai153. 100% right.
