calatrava Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have a cheap replica of the Patek 5127 with an asian 21 jewel movement. I was wondering if there was a high quality replica of this model, with a Swiss automatic movement, or failing that, whether it would be possible to do a movement swap on this watch. Any suggestions and hints are greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praetor Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 that pic he posted is a gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianGP Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Oohhhh ok. When he said he has a cheap rep of the 5127 in 21j I assumed that it was the pic he posted! I've been doing some 'selective reading' all day today Coffee isn't helping either. Need to up the espresso shots! Thx for clarifying.

The tell is the position of the date, which is a bit too far from the edge. I purchased it on TaoBao, which is the chinese version of eBay, for 240RMB: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3201731965 The metal bracelet wasn't very accurate, so I replaced it with a nice leather strap.

praetor Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) hm.. my bad, I didn't compare it side by side with a pic of a gen, I just looked at the polishing and the strap and made a quick guess, the lighting made the watch have a warm feeling like white gold >.>. But now that I see the gen pic, this is the same model that freddy333 has. Having a rehaut slightly too deep and wokky and the "dots" slightly too big in addition to the date window position. But for $30, can't complain!! Edited March 1, 2011 by praetor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
