lovepanerai Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 Interesting post about the new IWC Portugieser Chrono on Timezone Timzone IWC Replica post
cwai02 Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 I am thinking if I should use the gen dial.
lovepanerai Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Posted September 2, 2006 wow, where did you get that? I would change that in a heartbeat if I were you, if not PM me and I will take it off your hands ;-)
Watchmeister Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 Wow, now I gotta get me one and I missed that group buy.
Finepics Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Very satisfying!!!!! The more worried they are the better I feel.
HauteHippie Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 The rep is the Asian 7750 right? Do you guys feel satisfied with *that* ?
Pugwash Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 The rep is the Asian 7750 right? Do you guys feel satisfied with *that* ? Sure.
Finepics Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 The rep is the Asian 7750 right? Do you guys feel satisfied with *that* ? Absolutely!! Why not?
slay Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 does the gen sport a 7750. too? if not, the spacing of the gen dial is probably different from the rep dial.
lovepanerai Posted September 3, 2006 Author Report Posted September 3, 2006 does the gen sport a 7750. too? if not, the spacing of the gen dial is probably different from the rep dial. the gen also has a 7750 modified for IWC and no the subdial spacing is not different Rep vs. Gen
archibald Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Classy guys over there at time zone: "dial texture looks good. One can only hope the producer is hit by a car or his location hit by a very localized (1 house) typhoon." His concern for the repmakers' neighbors is admirable.

Well, shows how bloody much they hate them rep watchmakers...
Highflyingclive Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 love it when a plan comes together
ryaku Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 I am thinking if I should use the gen dial. You would need also the black external ring with minutes markers. There's no replica with that black ring as far as i know.
sye46 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 I just received the Laureus Port Rep from River today.... lemme tell ya, this watch is no joke. It is really really really close to the original. I'm considering selling my gen port now....... NOT!! I'll never sell my gens because I have a rep of it. Owning the real deal has a totally different feeling. But Overall.... really good quality. My digi cam is broken, otherwise, I'd take some photos.
Finepics Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 The thing is they are bloody nice watches regardless of it a fake or not. What other watch could you buy from a regular high street jewellers for the same sort of money? A Casio quartz!!!!
cwai02 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 You would need also the black external ring with minutes markers. There's no replica with that black ring as far as i know. that's why I said "thinking"

Very glad to read this from someone who owns the original would you say it is a much better likeness of the original than the Viagra Jones replica is of its? g.
sye46 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Very glad to read this from someone who owns the original would you say it is a much better likeness of the original than the Viagra Jones replica is of its? g. The port is definately better than the Jones rep. I've never seen a Laureus Port in person before, so I can't say how close the dial colors are. (main reason why I got the laureus port is cause I'll probably never get the chance to own a gen). But the build and quality of the case, caseback, dial, and weight is very very very well done. I'm so afraid to use the chronograph, so I don't think I'll ever even try it (really, who needs a 30 minute chronograph anyways?) I only got the gen because i like the look of the dials. I main thing I can tell the difference is that the numeral markers are applied (glued) onto the rep. The gen ports are raised numerals (the numerals are part of the dial, not seperate)
doug Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 The photos of the rep Portuguese at the top of this link are misleading as they make the dial on the rep appear to be somewhat grainy and silvery. The photo of the gen at the bottom, the one the guy is bragging about, is much closer to the gold hands rep I received from EL. The dial on mine is a pure pearlescent white and looks like a near clone of the gen in the photo on this link.
solicitor Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 The REP pics on the TZ thread are linked from EL's site BTW.....
