wadan Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 hi mates , A google search landed me in Ioffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Paul has these, dont know this particular dial, but he has them. the price on ioffer is ridiculous, ive paid 160usd back in 2005. Apart from the screws in the band (if one could call it screws) it's a fantastic watch.. 8mm thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Here you go: http://www.pam111.com/product_info.php?cPa...products_id=538 ps Do look into pauls way off running business before placing an order with him. pps Its is a copy movement not swiss ETA.

seanf Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I highly doubt that there's a real ETA in that watch on ioffer. I also think the description is wrong-- the watch probably isn't 42mm. It'll more likely be 38mm. This model has been available for a long time, but most of dealers don't carry it because it's kind of cheap. If you really want that version of the watch, I'd recommend going with Tonyxkf instead of Paul. Tonyxkf is a good dealer if you're looking for a cheaper watch (under $100). IMO, you shouldn't be paying more than about $100 for that watch, since, to my knowledge, it only comes with a 21j. You can find both versions at Tony's site here: http://www.rolex2u.com/details.php?product_id=10119 and here: http://www.rolex2u.com/details.php?product_id=10117 The listed price is $108, but you can haggle with him.

Iam sorry but the 108usd watch ur showing is a totally different watch paul is carying. take a look at the back engraving for dog sake ... the 108s for that pos is way overprices it shoudl be no more then 25 usd, which i would not spend on it. paul's movement is the seagull 2982 copy movement, which is a good movement, but not ETA.

FxrAndy Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Both those watches listed in the OP are powered by a seagul ST18, not a swiss 2836, on the whole a good movement but i dont think they are worth the asking price by a long way, on a good front the movement can be replaced with a 2892 or another seagull (and this is a good movement BTW) for less then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Only 36mm it looks alot larger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donpedro Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Only 36mm it looks alot larger? Yep, it does - but don't let the pics fool you I'd be very surprised if they made this in a new, larger case (current Overseas is 42mm). Check this out for more pics: http://indepth.watchprosite.com/show-nblog.post/ti-352177/ Cheers! Pedro EDIT: On pam111's site, higher up in this thread, it says 38mm. Might actually be true, but it still wears smaller than my already small 36mm IWC (a gen 3741) Edited June 24, 2008 by donpedro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emuozz Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) That was a very good rep, the size should be around the 37 mm w/o crown. If you look at the engravings of the case back its way better than the new overseas rep version Edited June 25, 2008 by emuozz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzanooo Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 An old school rep that was one of my first super reps I bought from Sunshine about 3 or 4 years ago. Back then it did come housed with an eta 2892 and was pricey at the time. Most accurate dial along with the best engraved caseback I have seen in a Overseas to date. Ruby had these at one time, may give her a mail though the movement would be different. A couple of pics of my black dial with stick markers, and it`s 38mm but wears much bigger on the wrist because of how the bracelet combines with the case.

_brian_ Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 This oldschool VC Overseas is one of the watches which surely should be on the "best of all times reps" list IMHO... Simply beautiful, great details and even the best pictures do not do justice for the dial. Some might say it looks boring but I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj69 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I have this rep - the version with the stick markers on the dial. Just to clarify a bit about this one, the dial is very nice, but it is not very accurate (on the stick marker version). The rep dial is textured like the current VCO dial, but the gen dial has no texture on it at all. This is one of those situations where the rep dial is not accurate, but it's actually nicer than the gen. The version with the number markers is probably more accurate. Although it's a very nice rep, it's hardly 1:1. For example, the crown guards on the case are far too small. In addition, the overall finish of the watch is nowhere near as good as the current "super reps" like the HBB or some of the IWCs out there. No jeweler would ever believe the finish on the case, bezel, and bracelet of this rep would have come out of VC's factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triosLescano Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I love VC, a gerat watch But ALL reps have the INCORRECTED maltese croix. Damnn... I desire from years to buy a VC but the best reps (for example precioustime Overseas) have this defect Why is it impossible to have a VC ehit CORRECT croix ? Mysterious.......
