FxrAndy Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Crown on the gmt is well too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 The GMT doesn't even have cyclops. The date Sub has mag & date way too right + very bad dial print. What's that Tiffany no-date version? They're ok if they cost $40 or $50. But not even close to accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Is that a domed crystal on the GMT ?? Also the 24 hour hand has a strange triangle ( the lume part is too small ) I can't tell any thing about the Tiffany cause i never studied them.

Nanuq Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Bezel on the GMT is from a Sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkwbkw Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Besides what you mentioned about the lug holes, here's what I can see from your photos. GMT: Oyster Perpetual print looks a bit weird, crown is too large, case looks like its the wrong shape and thickness, no mag on xtal, date wheel looks wrong too. 1680: the "=" sign looks a bit off where it states 660ft=200m, date wheel looks wrong also possibly wrong magnification on cyclops. plexi looks domed or flat - not beveled top hat like gen. Insert and dot are horrible. Markers on dial looks small too. 5513: unsure if Tiffany ever sold a signed a 5513, but think I've seen a 5512 4 liner before. Bezel insert same as the 1680. Out of the 3, I wouldnt purchase any of them. But if I were forced to, I'd get the 5513, but would swap out the dial immediately. These are the types of reps I'd expect to see in Chinatown for $35 each. Hope you didnt purchase any of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkwbkw Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 First pick a model you like, then your budget. Once that's been settled, I'm sure a lot of us can help steer you in the right direction on picking up a decent piece. There are quite a number of vendors and sponsors here that'll get you whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I would agree. Figure out what particular vintage model you like and then go from there. Plenty of knowledgable folks here that can help guide you through on what to look for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 did someone say vintages? lug holes are a big deal, try drilling virgin holes (no pun intended) all those crowns need replacing, and i cant see the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkwbkw Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Another tip - Instead of randomly picking a site to purchase from, select one from the vendor list here>> http://www.rwgforum.com/forum/230-watches-clothing-accessories/ When dealing with unknown vendors, you run the risk of getting scammed. OH, one more very important tip. If you use paypal or any other method of payment, never enter any verbage in the subject or comments field with regards to replica, rep, fake, watch, etc. Best to leave it blank.
