FxrAndy Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 nice comparison, the crown guards on the rep look bigger or ist it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 The replica presented here is the 2010 v5 (ala Trevor), not the cartel v5 Ultimate (BK/Noobfactory/Cartel). Thin hour markers, flat pearl, and flat-topped bezel insert triangle are the tells here on the version. I'm surprised you didn't mention that the insert on the rep stands proud of the bezel. It's another sign of some of the true v5 (not cartel v5) models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parga Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Yep you nailed it. It's a Trevor V5.

P4GTR Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 hows the lume? Is it a huge difference? Any luck with waterproofness? Awesome review, I might have to pull the trigger on a DSSD finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolikat Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Great review. I agree with the OP the crown guards on the rep are definitely bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Great comparison. What a fantastic looking replication. May need to get me one of these. I've been on the fence since about and with all the crazy activity around the many versions I got scarred away. Looks like it's sorted out now. Thanks.

simonporsche Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Good to see Trevor turning out to be a good source. What serial number does it have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Trevor's serial number is M660304 great pics parga.. wish you had gotten some side profile shots crown side as well as HE valve comparison shots. .maybe some bracelet shots as well comparing the clasps if you still got access to the gen.. those shot would be GREAT!

If parga's watch is NOT a M660304 serial version.. I'll give you a dollar... haha Never been any questions or confusion about which serial number characterizes this version, but we'll wait for parga to confirm, if it'll make you happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Bad news about your image host nuking the photos, Parga. Did you know you can upload them to the board directly for local hosting? Use the Full Editor and then the Browse/Upoad buttons at the bottom of that tool.

simonporsche Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 nice comparison, the crown guards on the rep look bigger or ist it just me? Also, notice how on the gen the 5 minute markers on the bezel insert don't line up exactly with the dips on the bezel teeth like trevors rep.

Flippster Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 nice comparison, the crown guards on the rep look bigger or ist it just me? Is it just me or is the top of the pearl triangle a bit curved on the Gen. I thought it was supposed to be flat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Is it just me or is the top of the pearl triangle a bit curved on the Gen. I thought it was supposed to be flat... Yes it's curved and is supposed to be as such. The rep is flat.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flippster Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yes it's curved and is supposed to be as such. The rep is flat.. Thanks. The dial marker rims on Trevors look very good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
