jpz5142 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I think there are repd, don't know about the quality. but if not can get close by getting a sub rep, 16610 (or even a 116610 if you want), shave the cg and get a pearl mod with black instead of lume. If you build it yourself it won't have the red text so at that point your building a fantasy so go for what ever you can get your hands on to start the project. If I were doing it I'd get a 116610, that way the dial will have the maxi markers which I prefer. Shave the cg, do a pearl mod then send it off to get pvd coated and your pretty close.

Mike on a bike Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Closest I saw: http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_235&products_id=3418 Do the pearl pretty close now as far as shaving CGs and then refinishing case on that side would not go there.

GenTLe Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Stay far away from the PerfectClone one... It has that bad "new breed high beat 2813" which is a crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezio Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yeah but the another has the shitty swiss ETA from TDs which are normally crap to :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Well, Toro told us that noob has real ETA and not kind of refurbished mixture... Why don't you give us a poof of concept? By the way, give a look to this site: http://www.discoverprohunter.com/collection/blue_gmt/ it's the very 1st time I'm getting STRONGLY attracted by a rollie...

jpz5142 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Well here is some food for thought.... If the shaved CGs are the deal breaker then don't buy either of the last two. If you like the shaved CG look then look around for a good quality sub that will take well to heavy mods. Look at either the BP or Noob V2/3 116610 as many guys say they good to mod. BP is probably best bet as most guys say it's the bracelet on the BP not the watch head that is crap. That said toro has the old Noob c sub in his special section for a decent price if you go that route. If you buy a standard sub rep and build it from scratch, PVD coating is likely to cost you > $150 if not more. You'd have to get the watch completely disassembled, send to get CGs shaved (if you get one with them), send to the coaters, get it reassembled. Modder is likely to charge you maybe $50 to remove the CGs. This also lends itself to any extra issues that might pop up as the modder removes and reinstalls the crown tube etc.... I'd suggest you start with contacting a modder that can do this and let him know what your looking for and see what they suggest you start with and how much they'd charge. This amount of work is likely to cost a few bucks above the cost of the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droptopman Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Maybe at some point as I am building a real vintage big crown next. But long and expensive story on this piece. Lots of time $ and effort to get it to this. Sent from my droptop using telepathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droptopman Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Its a heritage build right ?? Heritage.....rep yes that is what it is after but with lug holes. Lume a little creamier on this than the gen which I prefer. The gen looked too tan/yellow for my taste and didn't have lug holes. So total fantasy piece but pretty awesome looking in person and bullet proof on that rubber b. Play sports wearing it all the time. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.
