eunomians Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Hi Subby, Welcome aboard Perhaps you could post larger pics. Yours are too small to see any details. Cheers

tonyp1 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) Nice crown guards. Really that watch doesn't get too much more accurate than the model you have. The biggest flaw on these watches is the deep rehaut. Your pics arent good enough to judge the dial print. Edited June 13, 2007 by tonyp1

The biggest flaw on these watches is the deep rehaut. Your pics arent good enough to judge the dial print. So is it deeper the rehaut better? I'll try to take a better pic of the dial. I thought that on Subs that usually the rehaut isn't deep enough. thanks a bunch
tonyp1 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) Theres a member that has some really impressive reps he has a daytona thats unbelievable. Heres the link to the thread theres lots of pics of GEN vs REP. Daytonas have a shallow rehaut. http://www.rwg.cc/members/Daytona-secs-6-t26384.html Edited June 13, 2007 by tonyp1
tonyp1 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) Your rep is very nice, enjoy it. Theres no current model thats better. Edited June 13, 2007 by tonyp1
Subby Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Posted June 13, 2007 Your rep is very nice, enjoy it. Theres no current model thats better. This thing is a scratch magnet =O( I've had it for 2 years now. Breaks my heart seeing all the scratches in the pics
tassilo75 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Genuie Daytona 116520 !! best regards Tassillo
HauteHippie Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Does not look like a rep to me. I was going to say... That dial looks awfully good for a rep. Too good.
tonyp1 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) This is a awesome rep but rehaut looks too deep to me. Look at the T in superlative or this S in in swiss made. You guys are the experts on this though. This watch is very nice and I only hope that the watch+box I got stuck in customs right now is as nice ( If I ever get it). Subby is this a fraken? the Cgs are amazing! Edited June 13, 2007 by tonyp1

tonyp1 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) Well Ive been fooled... Could we get a shot of the rehaut from the side? ubiquitous needs to look at this. If this is true its amazing because this watch is in his possession as he supplied every picture I ask for on demand IE closeups ect. Hes trying to pass a $12,000 gen off as a $300 rep that reverse psychology at its finest. Not to hijack this thread but I have a new infatuation I think this is real... Edited June 14, 2007 by tonyp1
freddy333 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 I agree. This looks gen. You can tell because the tops of the 3 & 9 subdials are the correct distance from the 10 & 2 index markers, and the DAYTONA font is correct. My rep, which is the closest version I have seen to the gen, differs from this one only in those two areas. I do not know why this person is posting a gen watch as a rep unless he himself is unaware, which I would find hard to believe. But anything is possible.
Subby Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Posted June 14, 2007 Hey guys sorry for the late reply. This watch is in fact FAKE. I paid 900US plus 100 for shipping. I was told it was the best of the best. I have a real GEN two tone Daytona but couldn't justify paying such a high price for a watch I already own. So I decided to get a Rep. When I received it I honestly could not tell the difference between my gold Two tone and this fake SS one. Only tell tale is listening to the movement by placing the watches to my ear. The Fake is MUCH louder.... the real is smoother sounding and less audible. I'm really happy with my purchase now... after all your comments saying that it's real. Now I can wear it to work and fool my business partners. =O)
deltatahoe Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 very interesting. do you know what kind of movement it has inside? i'm guessing there are quite a few people here who would be interested in where you got it as well.... btw, welcome to RWG as you can probably see we're all pretty watch crazed here deltatahoe
tassilo75 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) Mister subby , please let us know where you have buy this watch. i think for this price we can all buy one of this pice !! shipping cost from 100 Dollar is also very Cheap!! Sorry But Dont tell us fairy tale If it is realy a rep we have a new dimension in the replica scene !!!!!! And @ Ubi Know this is your part !!!!! Here is a pic from a gen 116520 Edited June 14, 2007 by tassilo75
tonyp1 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) Ill be very interested to see what ubiquitous thinks of this watch. He is the resident daytona expert. Edited June 14, 2007 by tonyp1
southcoast68 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) Ok, I rarely post here but this one got to me. If you say that this is a rep, then we all NEED to know its source. I was going to say it was a gen for sure for many reasons. Take a loook at the side shot, the bezel looks way thinner than the reps we are used to, not as conical looking. The dial print looks too good to be rep (even though the reps are getting closer), take a look at the crown logo, most reps are just now getting close to that, and you say you have had this watch a while? Do you know what it has for a movement? For the price you paid, I think you did good!! and don't worry about the scratches, it shows of a watch well enjoyed and adds to its character. THis might be a franken from an MBW-like source, but as many have said, we need to get the Daytona master, Ubiquitous, to look at this one for sure. Edited June 14, 2007 by southcoast68
tonyp1 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 "we all NEED to know its source" I'm going to bet he either travels to the far east on business or he got it from one of two U.K. auction sites. Theres a gentlemen on there that only takes bank wires and his reps are $700/$2000. His stuff is impressive but I dont feel comfortable sending a bank wire.
ajoesmith Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 This member joined yesterday and is telling us that this 'rep', which is nearly perfect, is 2 years old. Surely we would have known about it before this. Something fishy..... I dont believe a word of it. Where is Ubi anyway.....
