Richard Tracy Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 me to ... I'd buy the vintage GMT... Just to be clear... Jay's instructions are for a watch which has never been produced... Are there not versions of this rolex watch already in play ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay said he will replicate a watch by buying a gen and copying it directly. Do you think he can pick up rare vintage rolexes to strip down and copy?

Do you think he can pick up rare vintage rolexes to strip down and copy? hahahaha ...i hope !! ahahahah ... ok... it's impossible to ask this ... but it's also impossible to buy also the IWC... and a lot of the watches that people has asked with this topic... are you agree?

Pugwash Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 but it's also impossible to buy also the IWC... and a lot of the watches that people has asked with this topic... are you agree? All the IWCs I posted are available in any IWC shop today. Same with the SeaHawk and most of the other simpler designs. Most people deliberately recommended watches available for under $5000.

torresp Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 TI or SS IWC aquatimer gets my vote !!!! make the case and the rotating bezel and put inside a 2836, that's easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Why don't we add also this watch to the poll? I'm sure it'd be one of the most appreciated replica ever. ryaku my friend... i love IWC as you. but in best opinion friend... this watch is easy to makes... i think it comming soon from all dealers. Also it used a 7750 movement... and you know the bad quality of asia 7750 movements... let it go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Tracy Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hey.. Jay is here... If you get all the way to this thread.... Hello Jay ! We thank you for this chance to finally select a watch to replicate ! If you have any suggestions, please let us know.... So far we have settled on three possiblities, all within the $5,000 range or less... If we select the Vintage Omega, we may be able to talk one of our members into allowing you to use his...... .. if not, then, we have two choices....so far however we are still open to suggestions for two more days. Do you have any preferences for Stainless or Titanium ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Here's some great Seahawk detail! The more I look at it the more I like it http://www.p178host.com/gpgallery/seahawk_waffle/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estaban Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Doesn't the 50 Fathoms look a bit too much like a Rolex Sub?? I've seen many nice gen watches that have the sub look and pass on them because they "look like a nice watch trying to copy a Rolex Sub". Marathon, Steinhart, Marcello come to mind. Doesn't the Blancpain look a bit like these??? Seahawk or FM King Conquistador would be my choices. Very different, but yet to be repped.

The more I look at it the more I like it http://www.p178host.com/gpgallery/seahawk_waffle/index.html Thanks .. Great find.. Great also to know that the watch is 40 to 42mm... not 44 as was stated ! Makes a huge difference.... ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender110 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 no vintage rollies please. yes to a modern 1:1 rollie. anyone. sub gmt sd ... use the 2892 movement that is thinner so that rehault and all else IS 1:1 and all gen parts interchange. ORIS any ORIS NO IWC. we have them all and they all looks similar enough. more PAMS any FERxxx PAM 1:1 would do. 1:1 monaco would do with or without chronos 1:1 graham :-) i like the GP but the bezel looks like a yachty.. yuk, but i would buy it. :-) or how about 1:1 7753 movment replicated!!!!!! PLEASE not the hacked 7750 version!!!! if we are gonna make a request... lets request the 7753 movement properly repped!!! if they can rep 7750 they can rep 7753 and if they rep 7753 all makers would buy this and install it in all watches with 3,6,9 and so many collector would be soo HAPPY don't youwant a proper date on your 7753 powered reps?? like the 187 you have and the navi you have and the daylights???

Richard Tracy Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Just noticed this link: http://www.p178host.com/gpgallery/seahawk_...wk_history.html Says the 'Pro' model is 44mm x 20.11mm Thick.... What are the differences besides size, between the regular and pro models ? If nothing serious,.. I strongly suggest we go with 40 to 42mm for our first project, as I know I won't be buying a watch that large and thick...sheesh it's like sardine can...
