andcaneron Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Some rep watches actually have the hallmark or gold stamp, 18k or the european designation 750 which means the same as 18k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andcaneron Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have seen it on Rolex between the lugs and on Hublots on the back of the case. Some watches have it on the inside of the case. The Hublot BBs have gold 750 stamped on the back of the case. My next 2 watches will be a FM Casablanca and a Hublot BB.

Watchmeister Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Great collection. Hey Slick- Is that one of the original Eddie "13" in 18k? Archibald was the architect on that one. As I recall he had the largest collection of gen dials around. He had a close relationship with Tuomii back in the day when she was getting them left and right.

slickdick Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Great collection. Hey Slick- Is that one of the original Eddie "13" in 18k? Archibald was the architect on that one. As I recall he had the largest collection of gen dials around. He had a close relationship with Tuomii back in the day when she was getting them left and right. @Watchmeister Yes it is. It is of special value to me; first buy from EL, and the most expensive rep i own. Arch is the authority on Franck reps. Wonder how he is doing btw. He did organize the group by from EL. Very good price, 1300 for 2824 and 1600 for 2892 back in 2004/5. ------ Regarding hallmarks. All jewelery with preciuos metals are required to have this hallmark with EU aswel as US. So Gen francks, rollies, whatever in gold all have hallmarks. Edited January 22, 2012 by slickdick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 WSO999 sells sapphire crystals for FM watches but I have never checked to see if they fit the reps. Sometime in the future, I shall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andcaneron Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Does the 18kt really matter? MM No it does not matter but we are talking reps and everyone points out even more minute details, some only visible under a magnifying glass. With gold reps the hallmark is a nice touch.

vikkyrob Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Stunning collection. I have always fancied a nice Franck Muller but there are always so many flaws. I love my ultimate Patek Philippe Nautlius because on the wirst it is an excellent rep (clearly when you take it off the clear back gives it away instantly) but are any of these close to the gen? Great collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
