kingkaiser Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Guys, I'm sure this has been discussed before but good luck using search for '318' or anything (search won't work for less than 4 characters). I'm thinking of picking up a daily beater Pam super-rep and don't feel radiomir cases as much(ie: want a luminor case) I understand that the best out of the box ones are 219, 026, (dislike destros, so not going for either), and the 005/318. Apart from case back, is there any other difference? Why is the 005 more popular given that the movement MUST look incorrect and more people would know that than the case back of the 318. Any other massive tells on these two watches? If someone can even just post a good link that would help no end. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) no differnce at all on the 005 and the 318 only the caseback go for the 318 and you will have a great watch, dont think so much BUY IT cheers Edited May 12, 2011 by deniz21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I have both. They are exactly the same except for CB. The newer ones (first run vs later run) have a clearer crystal like the 26k. I believe it's because they have no AR at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekgod Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I got one from Andrew mate.. its a very good looking watch so go for it. I only second your thoughts about the search options. I am surprised at the fact the the mods banter back and forth about the noobs not using the search function enough when clearly the algorithms in the search do not deliver the required results!

mrboombasteke Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I thought I read somewhere that they came with movements that run at different bph and that the rep 318 had the more accurate bph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabler Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I thought I read somewhere that they came with movements that run at different bph and that the rep 318 had the more accurate bph. Gen 318L has a 18000 bph movement, so do the rep. Gen 005 has a 21600 bph but the rep is the same as the 318. The only ´but´ for me is it´s quite noisy....

kingkaiser Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks all - decided to pull the trigger on the 318 since the 005 isnt in stock, and given how long the 177 took, I dont want to wait for months on end. Will try to post pics as and when I receive it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
