Favorite handwind reps?

Recommended Posts

I really enjoy H/W watches, but I'd like to try something that's a stand-out. I love my Pam112, and I've thought about getting a Speedmaster with the Venus 75 or a Patek Calastrava with the Asian 17J, or maybe an older style Daytona... I dunno. I don't really LOVE any of them though. I also really enjoy a display back on a manual wind watch.

 

Maybe the A. Lange & Sohne Classic w/ the Asian Unitas movement...?

 

What other H/W watches do you think I should consider?

I don't know about accuracy to the real thing, but I think these are both good looking watches that represent a really good value.

 

F.A. Jones w/ 6497 movement $168

I have the 1815 and it looks really great in person. Perfect dress watch IMO

Oh well, yes, and this one (the one with perfectly engraved movement), which received also a very nice crocodile strap(not my pic this one):

I would love your opinion on the Datograph Flyback.. Love the look of it and was thinking of making it my first rep purchase. Thanks!

So... It is not a perfect rep, because the big date is too low on the dial (note the roman XII at 12, on the gen it is not present), and obviously the movement visible through the case back glass is far from the gen. But apart from that it is a lovely watch, it has a very nice column chronograph inside, the big date works well as like as the chronometer.

And not many people know what is that watch!

So, if you are searching for a super rep,this is not the right choice. But it is indeed a great watch.
