What watch(es) you'd like to see replicated in 2008?

An MBW version of the 38mm 5508 sub with accurate bezel.

Really, the original thin case sub is a minimalist beauty!

16800

The great vintage dial markers with a date window and the modern flat sapphire crystal.

I haven't see anyone selling this so far. Am i wrong?

Ironmarshall,

RE: the UN Marine Chrono from Perfect-Clones

Nice, but give me the Maxi Marine Diver! I'm dying to have this watch repped.

I'm assuming you're joking. The UN Marine Chrono would be my (realistic) rep dream watch, but the version from Perfect-Clones is a joke. It uses the 21J Asia auto with a faux chrono! :yucky: I'm not a stickler for 100% accuracy but a "chrono" watch without a working chronograph is just too lame.

Since the genuine uses the ETA 2894, this watch could very easily be repped to 98% accuracy (only inaccuracy would be a 30 min subdial rather than the Gen's 45 min counter) using the 2894 movement. I could/would easily live with this inaccuracy just to get that wonderful movement in the beautiful UN chrono case!!

The Maxi Marine Diver would be a nice watch too, although I much prefer chronographs. I like the UN's w/ gold cases and blue rubber straps w/ gold bars.

I can't imagine anyone buying that cheesy UN Chronograph w/ the fake chrono (heck, they didn't even copy the subdial numbers properly! Soooo cheesy)

Regards,

Jeff

One more to add in... I want this! What do you all think? Should not be too difficult to rep right....

Yes to the Zenith Rainbow and Defy, also like the 50 Fathoms and of course the BP, but what about something a bit different?

Wyler Vetta....

and lots of colour options...

But of course if we are really dreaming.....

I think the Zenith Defy Extreme is the line to go with, as far as the ultra modern looking, multi-layered, multi-substance dial/case etc...

It could be really cool, if they pulled it off right.
