By-Tor Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 When I started this subject about a year ago, I mentioned the HBB, Steelfish SuperOcean, Chronomat Evolution, Aquaracer chrono and Sea Dweller (among others). Well... they all got replicated. I was a bit disappointed with the SSD and never got one. But they did excellent work with the Evo, SFSO, HBB and Aquaracer for sure. I don't have many watches I'd like to have anymore... but there are a few awesome brands they have negleted. 1. Zenith El Primero Flyback "Rainbow" Now this watch probably isn't everyones cup of tea, but I would LOVE to see one Zenith repped properly... why not Flyback Rainbow, which I think has potential to sell really well. It's also available in b/w, and it'd be more conservative choice... but it's the crispy colors that again work for me. 2. Ebel 1911 BTR Chronograph Well this is probably the watch that everyone agrees with: it's utterly amazing, and it should definitely get replicated with the 7750 heart. Actually the whole BTR series is absolutely kick ass. I owned the quartz BTR from Reg, which was really nice... but come on, we need the high end versions now. Maybe these couldn't be done 1:1 due to potential subdial spacing issues, but at least they would be well enough. 3. Rolex GMT 1675 There's not one single reason why they couldn't replicate this simple watch. The gen uses the "wrong" hand stack (GMT hand below the hour hand) without the hour hand "jump" system. Very basic, easy watch to replicate... the gen doesn't even have adjustable GMT hand. I'm not holding my breath though. What are your Christmas/New Year wishes?

steppen Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 now that seconds at 3 movements are available, a decent tag heuer steve mcqueen would be nice for '08 It's the watch that got me into the rep game in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrandazzo Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 1675 :wub: Ohhhh I wish one 1675 Please Santa, rep the 1675. Just 1:1 case and very good dial. Other parts can be swapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monaco is only 13mm..... But I keep dreaming of 'super reps' of these : - JLC Master Hometime - TH Monaco Chrono Black - L&S Grand Langematik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976 Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I would love to see a Breitling Cockpit with the Big Date non chrono.Simple and so beautifull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matte Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 An improved (or modded) replica of a PAM 104 44 mm automatic, with swiss or ultimate chinese movement, correct datewheel, cyclop and a good superlume. That would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great O yeah, that would be really great! And at the same time they could also improve the PAM 164 and PAM 090 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted December 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I actually forgot to mention this: I wish they'd make the final, "ultimate" version of 42mm Planet Ocean with double-AR. I sold my UPO, which I initially liked, but later it started to feel oversized, clumsy and unbalanced. I'd love to have the smaller version.

Watchmeister Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 My wish is for a Big Pilot with actual 8 day movement which will lead to the Portofino with same movement. So if that can happen they can then apply their new 2-3 barrel technology to a 2008 PAM or two. Now could you picture them replicating the GMT Tourbillon? Well, one can dream. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratchpot Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 There can be only one... Seriously, we've been waiting for a proper rep of the RO Chrono for years. It's certainly at the top of my wishlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijor Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 For me it has to be the new GMT with ceramic bezel. We can get a version without the ceramic bexel but that is just not right. It has to have the ceramic bezel/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elprimerozen Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 By-Tor i have to disagree about the SSD.....its a great rep!Thats just my opinion.......when i held the gen and rep on my hand...Btw this is an offtopic opinion. So....to get to the point the only watch i would like to see replicated is the new big size case GMT master 2 ceramic. But the most important is the new big case to be 1/1. Thats all.

StormTooper4 Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 (edited) I will take a PAM292 and a JLC reverso chrono please. Agree to the 104 but need that Carbon fibre dial and all the trimings please. DOH! Clearly I actually want a PAM140 , though a 104 would be nice, also the JLC chrono is the Squadra worldtime.

andyking18 Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 What are your Christmas/New Year wishes? Hey By-Tor, I like the Zentih idea, I love the Ebel idea, and personally I am sick of Rolex's. I think too much time has been spent on Rollies. We already have great and near perfect reps of more than one kind of Rolex. I think it's time to start focusing on other watch brands. I would like to see some Breitling for Bentley's done properly. With Proper coloring, allignment, AR, etc... I would like to see an HBB with ceramic bezel for the same price as any other good rep. I would like to see a nice Breguet rep done properly. And I would also like to see a good Ulysse Nardin rep, but that is unlikely do to the chrono positions and complications of UN's. Let's see how many of these wishes come true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predfan2001 Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 (edited) Here's an easy one. Get the factory that makes the 5517 ETA Submariner case to drill lugholes and use springbars rather than fixed bars. Create a good 5512 and 5513 dial and install the correct style case back. That's it. A cn vintage Sub that accepts gen crystals and dials. We could be moding $150 Subs rather than having to find a MBW.
