JBond Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hello everybody. I have actually an Omega seamaster pro from Replica2u with a japanese movement and after a problem with the bracelet, the watch is made a fall. Nothing important cause the movement work perfectly ! But, the date moved and now the second number touch the square and the HE valve have a little impact. My question is: the most responsable is: Repair this watch (change the HE valve by an ebay new and repair the date). I can open the watch cause I have the tools but if I open the watch I'm not sure to have the tools to assure water resistance... The second option is buy a new one from TrustyTime. Please help me ! Thanks J.Db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vric Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 with a japanese movement Buy a new one with Swiss movement. The overall case, crown guard, insert, hands (well basically everything) is better ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBond Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ok I can change this one for a Swiss quality model. Could you help me to found the best adress? TrustyTime? Another one? Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 If you are in EU you can go for EuroTimez and Precious Time, to avoid custom issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mars08 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Which SMP do you want? Silix does a very nice "Bond" rep. The only obvious flaw is the crown and crown guard. And the bezel insert alignment -as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBond Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I'am looking for the 2531.80 model. Yes but the silix's Bond replica have a clone ETA no (I read that on the forum)? I'am looking for a real ETA movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyVader Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) The King watch ones look better I think. Nice crownguards. And if her site is to be believed. You get nice lume as well: Edited July 27, 2008 by DirtyVader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars08 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 The King watch ones look better I think. Nice crownguards. Indeed. I just compared to my Silix rep... The King item has better crownguaqrds. Can't comment on the bracelet. Like my Silix seems to have the correct length hands. It also appears to use a fairly authentic font on the bezel insert. If King is showing a photo of the ACTUAL rep being sold, it's very, very, nice. How much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyVader Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 JBond's gonna contact King to find out the price. He told me he'd pass on the info when he gets a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 eurotimes will ensure you dont get a clone if that is not what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBond Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I spoke with Eurotimez. They don't have this model at this time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f5mando Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I've had a Silix and a couple of Jandrews, and they all sucked compared to the King one shown here. If I hadn't already sprung for a gen, I'd jump on one of these (not with shoes on, of course)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestripes Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 King's-- $240. I might have to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars08 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Will someone please buy this rep from King!!! I will never be able to afford the gen and would love to have a super rep. I've got 3 Bonds at the moment and the Silix is the most authentic. But the tiny crown guards are bloody disappointing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBond Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I will buy the king's Bond model next week and I will post: pics, movement test, water resistance test... be sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
