nwolf1716 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I was thinking about picking up this one: http://www.ttw168.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39_202&products_id=839 does anyone know if it is a good rep? Also is close to the gen and what model it is exactly? I have found some pictures but nothing with a model number. would or should it need any mods done to it? Thanks for the help guys!

cc33 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 It's trying to be a 5070 I believe. Here's a pic of the gen. I don't think a patek rep other than the nautilus or aquanaut is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Looks like it's replicating a vintage 530. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 530! Why didn't I think of that..They look so similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 My build is a 530: Custom made 36mm case, Valjoux 23 movement, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwolf1716 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks for the help! Damn! so its not a very rep then. Are there any others that are similar to this but that is close to a gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwolf1716 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Oh wow UBI that is a fantastic looking watch! That is exactly what I was looking for, but it seems the rep is not very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Mine is a custom build... Only 40% completed thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwolf1716 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 It is very sharp looking, good luck with the rest of the project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDG Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Problem is, it's out of stock... Atleast when I tried to buy it a year ago. If you can get it, please let me know I am dying for one haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think you can still get 5070 reps that aren't too close to gen but aren't so bad considering you'll probably never spot a gen in the wild. If I remember correctly the sub-dial spacing was wrong, the case size was off and the word "base" was missing from the dial. Unfortunately I can't remember which dealer carried them.
