hardee17 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Never purchased a rep watch before, but have had many gens. I've decided gen is simply not worth the 5000% markup. Anyways, I'm looking for the best 127 rep out there. I think I've narrowed it down to trustytime's 127. On his website, you can get 50M water resistance tested, and the entire movement overhauled and re lubed for 120 bucks. Thoughts? Open to suggestions as I'm totally new to this. Thanks!

Can I expect to get 4-5 years of reliable service out of the above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Personally I would rather go for an EL Fiddy or if I couldnt find one go for the DSN 217 Ultimate. I wouldnt bother with Andrew's extra work myself mate. I would rather get it to another watchmaker rather than use a dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep an eye on the forum for one modded with H3 pin and superlume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4GTR Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Don't ever buy waterproofing or servicing from the dealers. Local watchsmith or one on the boards for that stuff. Just like A gen, the good reps can last a lifetime with proper care and servicing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Get CP fixed from the dealer, but not WR. Edited February 8, 2010 by cougaree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
