tr4driver Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 I just received my Sea-Dweller 1:1 from Andrew today. I love it! This is my first replica, and I wasn't sure what to expect, but I am pleasantly surprised. I really can't imagine that anyone could determine that this watch is not genuine while it's on my wrist.

I really can't imagine that anyone could determine that this watch is not genuine while it's on my wrist. I agree. Welcome to the forum & the wonderful money pit of reps. Nice TR4, too. I cannot put my hand on my 4 manual just now, but you might appreciate these in the meantime
noslen Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 Clearly a man of taste. SSD is one of the best out there. Enjoy.
pfran42 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 Looks great! Congrats on your first rep! Can you see the crown engraving at 6 o'clock at arm's length? Also, how is the diver's extension? Does it feel loose or pop out by itself? Lastly, do you have any stripped screws on the bracelet? I keep checking outside to see if mine is here yet. I ordered the same watch on the 27th, so it should be here at any time...

I ordered the same watch on the 27th, so it should be here at any time... You can see the crown at arm's length if you hold the watch just right - so that the hour marker is not right behind it. The diver's extension is nice and tight - no way it's gonna pop out by itself. No problems with the screws. I removed two links, and all the screws came out nice and easy. I have a Sandoz Submariner type automatic watch that I bought a couple of years ago, and the bracelet on this watch is much nicer. In fact, this watch is just a heck of a lot nicer all around! I love it!

freddy333 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 Thanks! Do you own a TR4 as well? No, but I have owned or rebuilt most of the company's other 60s & 70s sports models, beginning with TR3.

freddy333 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Here's my complete LBC collection. And a 'Frogeye', too. Nice. This is 1 of the last Triumphs we remanufactured & sold - before/after views But watches are alot easier & you end up with alot less crud underneath your fingernails
