chrgod Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 While browsing aoobuy, I came across this cute little watch. No date, no rotating bezel or complicated dial. Just simple, retro style! I do not know much about the Patek line, but I think the overall look of this watch looks very good. It seems almost too "low key" to be spotted as a fake. Have searched for images of the genuine, but did not find anything. What model is this a replication of? Have anyone bought this? This has a manual wind movement with sub-seconds, 48 USD. This version without seconds hand has quartz, 45 USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Kinda remnds me of the old AP sunray tourbillon... At least, the case does... Well, at least the Patek is a bit plainer. Seems like it is a replica of the Patek Phillippe Golden Ellipse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Are you going to get one? Likely, I think it is a nice, unusual replica. I have not bought anything in some months, so about time to get back into the game. Need to decide on some more stuff to add up to the order, though. My GF does not think the Patek is anything special, but she likes this Rado from the seller. Will add that to the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaptic02 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 i've seen this on there too and been tempted to get one to play with...mainly interested in what movement they've got in the manual one...it's so thin! i was gonna get the quartz too, (thinking the mech, at 45$ with some crazy thin movement, will probably break) replace the strap and scratch it up a bit, so if anyone ever did ask me how i could afford a PP i'd just say it was my grandfather's watch! let us know if you pull the trigger; robbie@aoobuy is a great guy.

MagnusW Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) Seems like it's a 3738 replica. Found it on patek.com. Couldn't find any with a sub-second. A really nice watch. Maybe I will buy one myself. And what a price! Edited June 8, 2009 by MagnusW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterOfPuppets Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 this dealer has alot of interesting stuff with very tempting prices but has anyone ever dealt with him before?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaptic02 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 @MOP: i have dealt with robbie@aoobuy several times; i'll attempt a brief review of various products: bought a breitling box from him and i swear to god it was a stolen oem. purchased a 111h (for practicing reluming), a uboat flightdeck mb, a rlx 16610LV and an iwc f.a. jones...pam was exactly the quality you'd expect for the price, ditto on the lv...f.a. jones was slightly better (came with the full decorated movement, not just the stickered up one) and the uboat, due to it's simplicity, seemed to be of a decently high quality. purchased some big pony polos and others and, having dozens of gens, i would have absolutely no qualms about both purchasing more. stitching is beautiful, just be careful when ordering sizes...the rl polos come slightly smaller than gen sizes, while the lacoste come slightly larger. both excellent quality, even withstand washing (for as long as i've had them). bought two pairs of shoes, both were excellent quality with great stitching, real leather, very comfortable and best of all, don't fall apart after three uses like you'd expect. perhaps a more in-depth review is in order, but i just thought i'd post my experiences.

Corgi Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 The sub-second version is an older discontinued version. I would go with no sub-seconds, quartz movement for the best accuracy/reliability combination on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db1 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 aoobuy , this guy had been on my messanger list for over two years now ! never thought anyone on the board will come accross him! i've never bought anything from him, yet, even though sometimes i was close to make an order for a rep. but i've had a few good chats with this guy, he seem to be very eager to fulfill requests, even if he don't have a specific rep - you can show him photos or a link and sometimes he source it for you. i can't say anything further since i only talked to the guy, but he's in this business for a long time that's for sure. db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfPuppets Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 i just got a reply from robbie (aoobuy.com), i wanted to order some replica clothes and shoes to check out the quality, but the shipping cost almost as much as the order itself, so im basically goin to pay double the price so i just didn't pull the trigger!

emuozz Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 it's nice (the one without the secs at six). But it's too small to my taste 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
