This Yacht-Master purchaser seems happy. http://www.repgeek.c...&highlight=3135 i wonder when finally someone will pop the f$%$%g bezel off that's the only thing that holds me back - will a gen dial, hands, date-wheel, insert, crown - crystal fit ?

blue_sphere Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 Angus AKA puretime. People have reported the movement feeling more "smooth" and "gen" than the ETA. But again we have NO BREAKDOWN by a watchmaker (really hoping Rob/Zig or Vac will do it). Until then we cant be sure the movement is reliable. I think angus has some going to our watchsmiths right now but no idea on the turnaround or when we will get a breakdown.
tabularasa415 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 angus seems to be selling them after a short recall. guess people are curious but skeptical, dont want to be out the $500 price tag if it turns out to be lemon. the watch itself looks very decent, maybe people dont want an LV only offering. once a review is written and the findings are favorable im sure many will be sold. if a black sub model is available and the movement is reliable and fits gen parts (although i doubt its 100% the balance wheel im betting is not interchangeable) id give it a go, get a gen datewheel, insert, maybe get some lug holes drilled out , oohh thatd be sweet. Can you imagine the repercussions this watch is going to make on the secondary market? How many people (other than people like us) are going to look beyond details of the cyclops mag, date wheel font and movement? If the clasp is close and things are stamped properly... beyond popping the caseback off (which is what most dealers do to check to see if it's a gen), what's going to stop people from buying these as gen? Scary...

Scary... a proper education. if selling Rolex is your business you will (better) learn quickly to identify the balance wheel as not having the correct micro stella adjusters amongst a few other differences, if you still cant tell the difference maybe you shouldnt be in business selling these watches.
Star69 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 strange that Josh is not carrying these new watches .... ? maybe they really bring there own line anyway im so ready to buy my 20th rep-Sub
modelizer Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 ..anyway im so ready to buy my 20th rep-Sub Who has the best sub?
modelizer Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 I just figured that maybe you knew after going through 19 rep Subs..
wat44 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 its is obvious that they deliberately put a few tells in models there are exceptions, though. the market for super duper uber reps made for the purpose of selling as gens (bad, mmm'kay) for a closed back model, I cant see the point in cloning mvts - I just want the damned things to work reliably for open backs. well - much discussion, this could have :yoda:
Ephry73 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 I'm sure to avoid legalities the "tells" need to be there. Kind of like the Shiterland instead of Swi...... As long as I can use a gem dial and hands without too many headaches I'm ok. Just don't want to be copying just for copying and tricking. E
dublinlad Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 I'm sitting here with my gen dial ...looking at the dial feet, snips in hand and I'm saying - will I, won't I, will I, won't I, will I.......................................... should I, shouldn't I ???
Tribal Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 I asked about the bezel assembly and what? It's typical Rep one! So not worth the money.
FxrAndy Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 I am still interested in the movement crap bezel or not. A new movement is a new movement!
Star69 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 I asked about the bezel assembly and what? It's typical Rep one! So not worth the money. bummer ! okay - waiting for the next one
highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 dang it! so they ll rep 95% of a gen movement but neglect to make a gen style bezel assembly ?!? wonder if a gen insert snaps in
Tribal Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 I am still interested in the movement crap bezel or not. A new movement is a new movement! Shure I`m also interested in this movement..... So why not Angus send a sample to review it on the Forum???? Some movement experts climb in.....
chrgod Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Why is a gen-like bezel assembly so important? I have never really understood that.. I somehow expect this new movement to "take off" as soon it gets a favourable review.. Had it been five years ago, everybody would have been excited about this.
highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 why is a gen like movement so important? same underlying reason
rosamannen Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 why is a gen like movement so important? same underlying reason It could be that the crown will be in the correct position (same as gen) and it will accept gen dial and hands, which makes it look more like a gen. The bezel construction is, imo, not that important as long as the look is right. That said, I'm quite happy with my noobmariner.
Star69 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 easy : no gen-like bezl construction = wrong dimensions, wrong feel, no spare parts, glued in inserts, shitty rep crystals, shitty reahaut .... shitty watch
rosnik Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) I 'll buy one. Edited November 9, 2011 by rosnik
