whoopy12 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Anyone see this? Looks like they revamped the case: looks more like the yuki case methinks! http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_66&products_id=10829 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 It's not the old Vietnamese/Yuki case, but it's an improvement over the previous "Vintage SM300" from the cartel. The separation between the bezel edge and the thinner lugs is good, as is the white-painted sweep hand. However, the overly-simple shape of the lugs is very different from the gen in profile, and I doubt whether you can fit any genuine Omega pieces onto this rep. That said, the original cartel rep was pretty convincing when viewed head-on, and this one is even moreso. Not a "super-rep", but reasonably good! I'd like to see what good modders could do to the mid-case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougar1 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 The gen NOS cases are getting extremely expensive now , seeing prices around £800 GBP Interested in these rep cases, anybody get more feedback let us know. Rovin, where did you get the gen case? Did you do a full build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I definitely wonder if gen parts would fit this case and how water tight this can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Agreed, would be very interesting to see if the dial is more correct size now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Bump! Anyone bought this? Would anyone know if a 1171 bracelet with 633 endlinks fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovin, where did you get the gen case? Did you do a full build? Sorry, been away! Yes, did a full gen parts bin build up. Was about a year ago, and whole thing cost $1,700, with movt service and replacement crown and tube. The Cousins supplied case CT had the crown sticking out too far and I stripped the thread on it when trying to get it closer to the case....

Ephry73 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Details!!!!! Potentially one could add the beveled shape to the lugs and side profile. Is this a screw-down crown? E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secfincorp Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I talked to Ken at Rafflestime, he has these cases and says the dial size is 31+mm. the real dial is smaller around 28mm I think the bezel is way better but the insert is a dead giveaway. but getting better.
