This version of the replica feels and looks great (size and thickness very close to gen) 2. Movement: Asian 2893 clone and the stick on rotor looks great and the beat is very similar to the genuine (but obviously the genuine Caliber 3120 and rotor is way superior to the replica) 3. Hour markers at 3 0'Clock (III) are not present on this replica 4. Seconds hand is black on this replica (this is also found on older white gold versions of the genuine) 5. Hour markers are similar in size and height to genuine and adds a luxury quality look to the dial 6. Dial on replica has beautiful Côtes de Genève pattern as the genuine and is sufficiently similar to the genuine (but print etc is better on genuine) 7. Crystal differ slightly between replica and genuine (crystal type and size varies among different replicas) 8. No AR is OK as genuine has no AR 9. Date font or size differs 10. There are several versions of this replica around and some may have a different dial (that seems more accurate) but most often other details are inferior on other versions of this replica 11. Second hand (and minute Hand?) is shorter length on replica Final: A beautiful watch that looks luxurious. The genuine is quite rare to see and already a new model with different dial (spiral pattern) is on the marked. This replica is certainly not a 1:1 copy, but it is a reasonable replica that will not be easily spotted when on the wrist (unless the viewer has very detailed knowledge of this particular model). I do love it all things considered. Larger pictures of my replica: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Older replica from 2004 that I also own of the same watch but without the display back: Notice Andrews/Trustys fingers holding this watch Correct III hour marker!!!! Also note that second hand is silver!!! Also notice length of hands compared to dial is correct on this old rep!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
