FxrAndy Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 vintage Omega seamaster 300!!!!!! Oh yes that would be great, do we get to correct it during the build to make sure it was 99.99 correct???????? How about an Omega XL Railmaster, this wood be great as there is NO good rep of the XL case size at all they are all to thick, would also open a new line of XL ATs that could be made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Admin Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 The seahawk gets my vote. There are more than enough Rolex/IWC reps out there

pollux1 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 A top quality Tag heuer Monaco, plz!
sssurfer Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 What about a Glycine? Large nice watches, gen not very expensive, anyone could afford one. The extra large F104 (52mm!!): My favourite KMU48 (48mm): The more modern Lagunare (46 mm): Or, for tiny wrists, the Ningaloo Reef (40mm):
crystalcranium Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 The seahawk gets my vote. There are more than enough Rolex/IWC reps out there I'll be willing to buy the genuine when they flip it and want to sell it!!!! (Just kidding. No reason to give the wife reason #27 for divorce) There are NO decent GP reps and this is very surprising. One of the oldest names, the driving force behind the development and feasability of tourbi movements in two different centuries and no one is reping them adequetely. What's their purchase limit? I think the SH in Stainless is about $4000-$5000. If money were no object.....a decent Swiss VC Regulator would be very desireable but I'm sure that's way out of range for a genuine to copy from.
Richard Tracy Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Posted November 30, 2006 Let's keep in mind that we are limited to the following movements.. eta-2836/2824/2892/6497.

jkerouac Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 I'm surprised there has been no mention of JLC in this thread. Here are two candidates:

torresp Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 IWC aquatimer non-chrono (either in SS or Ti), just my 0,02€
crystalcranium Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 Whats the base movement on one of these Neil???? is it in house or based on another eta owned mark?? In house GP Cal 33RO. Great link with history and terrific detailed pics http://www.p178host.com/gpgallery/seahawk_waffle/index.html Look at the date window!!!! That's gonna be a killer to rep!
gioarmani Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 Speaking from a sales perspective, I think over the long term the greatest ROI one could possibly make from creating a new watch, would be the duplication of a Rolex. Simply put, more people have had & will have those over any other brand (i.e., everyones been through a Rolex at one point, but not everyone will necessarily own a Vacheron, IWC, U Nardin, etc.). If it were my money being invested in a new creation, I'd bet either an exact replica of the Sub, SD, or GMT would probably bring in the most money. And if it's a 1:1 match, most people will bypass every other dealer's model around--including the MBWs--to pay through the nose for something that even beginers can easily add gen parts to. Hell, it'd practically be a gen straight from the box, if it's done right. I know I'd buy one; and I bet 60% of the rest of the board would too eventually. I think that's where you'll get your biggest return on investment.
uziuzi Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 Not a bad idea indeed...and the "who has the best sub" question will be finally resolved
manuel Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 Indeed, a 1:1 submariner or sea-dweller.
