Category 5 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Posted May 10, 2006 So we still don't know whose rep that is? I just ordered the PT LV after seeing so many great pix and good reviews. I thought the MBW looked the least acceptable stock.
d44hvj Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 I've ordered the PT LV too, from the pics the bezel looks much improved on the PT. Would be nice to know whos this was
MAHLER Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 Thor you have not told us nothing of the movement? Swiss or Asian Clone for the replica? Was the caseback corrected "MONTRESS GENEVA" or was there the wrong writing? You still compliment very beautiful job . Ps. cannot be the perfection but some replicas ..... arriving to it
kasigi Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 The more I look at the LV, the more I like it. I have a cheapy rep but would love a very good one. K.
Memonty Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Thor, This is a great post. The photos are great and your eyes are sharp!
Guest TTK Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Once again another post ruined by Image[censored]ed.......why do you guys insist on using it....!
SubFrog Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Wow...great pictorial. You've found great detail that I didn't know all about. Thanks for that one!
poopypants Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Can i be the first to ask... WHICH Rep model is this? the new CH model or new TW model?
kasigi Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Can i be the first to ask... WHICH Rep model is this? No. It's been asked about five times already K.
poopypants Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 haha... i know Feek... and still NO ANSWER!
ekhunter Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) Well we're waiting! Whose watch was it? Tell us now! Damn you for making us ask so many times! Damn, your rich too, how about giving up some of that RWG cash before it gets stolen! Edited May 16, 2006 by ekhunter
Thor Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Posted May 16, 2006 Well we're waiting! Whose watch was it? Tell us now! Damn you for making us ask so many times! Damn, your rich too, how about giving up some of that RWG cash before it gets stolen! Well well... seems most of you haven't read all the posts very carefully... I had stated st least twice that this comparison wasn't made by me... it has been posted end of last year at an SIAM-Watch forum... so i'm not 100% sure where the rep pictured is from... I don't worry about the stealing... just check the store and you'll see that this function isn't there anymore... But i'm in a good mood... so i'll give you $50

But i'm in a good mood... so i'll give you $50 I meant to say, In your expert opinion, whose watch was it, or should I say whose do you think it is? I can tell you whose it isn't. Also, $50.00 is an insult, if their is money out there, then their is a way it can be stolen. I promise! Now, I've got something to work and ponder on. How to steal your money. HA! HA!
Rolexman Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 Best comparison I've ever seen!!! thumbs up bro!! That rep LV is pretty freakin' amazing!!
Guest overboosted Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 Somewhere in here someone said the MBW was the least acceptable? Any merit to this statement. I have one and feel it is definetely good enough for me, but bought it thinking it would be the best out of the box.
tomtofa Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 It would be very cool for members with LVs and photo skills to substitute their reps for the rep in the review . . . then known brands could be compared.
space Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 I would like to meet the person that can spot that replica on your wrist. Must be some kind of superman with 10x zoom glasses. It was actually a lot closer than I thought.

I have one and feel it is definetely good enough for me, but bought it thinking it would be the best out of the box. The good mbws have the best case and correct placement of the date window and cyclops but the rest of the dial is not quite as good, also the etching on the crystal is much better.

Do you mean, that the MBWs dials also haven't the correct font, and the CGs and the crown itself isn't correct?
namor Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 Do you mean, that the MBWs dials also haven't the correct font, and the CGs and the crown itself isn't correct? Sad but true: There's no Sub with all the right features... Every different model has it's own pros and cons. Some short details: TW-Best-Classic: best case (according to the depth of rehaut and crystal) CN-Sub: best dial and cyclops latest TW-Best (It's not a MBW, other dealers have them too): a mixture between the above ones... There are lots of more details... If you want the most perfect one you have to mod them and the best would be to buy the different models and combine them to one. (Sounds easy - but is not, the parts are not interchangeable...)
Bazz Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 Namor is right they all have their pros and cons, I purchased my mbw nearly two years ago and at that time they were just released so there was no where near the selection different of lvs to choose from as there is now. I enjoy modding my watches so over that time have changed the insert, dial, date wheel, knock off the cyclops and reattach it to the crystal over new date window position.... and now thinking about drilling out the case tube hole and retaping it to use a gen crown and tube! Ahhh its all good fun! Do you mean, that the MBWs dials also haven't the correct font I dont know if they have changed them but the rings around the markers were to fat and the m in 300m was in bold, I posted mine in the rolex gallery a few weeks ago with a better dial. I just enjoy trying to get them as close as I can.... even though I readily admit to my watches being a reps
Wyvern Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 Great Photos and Great review. The reps are looking better and better
