I want a good 5001

So I have fallen in love with the Portuguese 7 day 5001 watch. I just tried on a gen at an AD and it has the perfect heft and size. It uses the same 5000 movement as the 5002 and 5004 and seems to be in the same case as a 5004. Date and seconds in the same spot.

So how can I get a 5001 rep that is decently accurate. I know it cannot have a display back since no one has repped the caliber 5000. I'd even love a build, maybe with a gen dial?

It is indeed a beauty and on my wishlist to buy one day.

Unfortunately no good rep has been made yet. They all fall short. I have seen a gen dial floating about on ebay, but I am not sure if the rep case has any good resemblance to the gen case let alone be able to accomodate the gen dial.

For now keep saving for the gen :p

They are a very good rep for the money , sunken DW & position aside, most people are really positive about these watches , 168$ is a pretty good buy

The too close together subdials look terrible in my opinion. That makes it a non-starter for me. The sunken datewheel is pretty bad too.
