MimiSars Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Been looking for one that is close to the gen. Mostly all the ones I see are with clear case back (without the list of gold medals on the back). Does any good reps exist for it yet? Found these beauties @ watcheden but the case back... http://www.watcheden.com/ulysse-nardin-maxi-marine-diver-working-chronograph-rose-gold-case-with-white-dial-rubber-strap-i-40443-p-1.html http://www.watcheden.com/ulysse-nardin-maxi-marine-diver-working-power-reserve-automatic-with-white-dial-s-s-i-40818-p-1.html http://www.watcheden.com/ulysse-nardin-maxi-marine-diver-working-power-reserve-automatic-rose-gold-case-with-black-dial-i-41184-p-1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Remember...although the caseback is off...the rep itself is quite accurate...and you can remove the rose gold from the serial badge to correct that flaw. The link you sent was of a quartz version...which I think is a step down from the other route. I wonder if you could buy both...do a caseback swap...hmmm...or see if you can get a replacement caseback for the quartz and see if it fits on the auto...

fakemaster Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I have been impressed by the ones I've seen so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btocamelo Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I have a GEN and one of the main tells is the date window...the GEN's date window is "polished tube" with the date sunken below the dial surface by a few mm....the REP seems to have the date just right below the surface of the dial. The rest of the REP looks pretty decent. the GEN Blue Surf has the display caseback showing the complete blue anodized 2892 movement...the Rep, I believe, has a seagull movement...which is more of a tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read this with interest....will the RG colour come off of the serial bridge if it is rubbed down using a scotch pad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I have the Maxie 45 with the orange/black bezel and I absolutley love It. It's not perfect but very close and well made. The 23j movement keeps excellent time and has a PR of around 42 hrs. The movement Is also very nicely decorated. It has very good lume for a rep and the AR Is desent, not great but desent. The 60 click bezel, as per gen, Is one of the tightest and smoothest turning bezels In my collection, again very well done. The ss bracelet has a divers extension and Is of very good quality. I soaked mine In mineral oil over night and then buffed with a cape cloth the minor imperfections. The bracelet has turned out really nice, like butter baby. IMHO this Is one of the best reps available for under $200.00. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 gents, I like the watch a lot, but since I have never owned a watch that has 23j movement, I don't know how reliable it is and whether or not I can have it serviced. Any thoughts? Cougaree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Just read this with interest....will the RG colour come off of the serial bridge if it is rubbed down using a scotch pad? Definitely. Here's My UN. some bracelets come with the center block made of steel, others titanium like gen. Gotta watch out for that. So far on this i've got the ti bracelet block, i've polished the H portion of the deployant, removed the rose gold sticker from the rotor and the gold from the number plaque on the side of the case.

cougaree Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Nice! Now, there are two watches on my wish list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta watch out for that. So far on this i've got the ti bracelet block, i've polished the H portion of the deployant, removed the rose gold sticker from the rotor and sanded and polished the number plaque on the side of the case. Wow! Great looking watch! How accurate is this in comparrison to the gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Wow! Great looking watch! How accurate is this in comparrison to the gen? They're pretty good. The display back will give it away if anyone looks at the movement, but you could probably get a closed case back off another UN. The CG's aren't exactly like gen. It's a great watch, beautiful, big, and tons of wrist presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 The gen Red Gold also has an open case back,so it is in a way more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
