Bidle 0 Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, Anyone who would like to measure the thickness in mm for the 5711. Am i right that also the bezel is thicker than the original? Thx in advance! Hmmm, nobody??? Sorry, probably missed the magic word; Please! Here another pic of mine. Edited February 6, 2016 by Bidle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm, nobody??? Sorry, probably missed the magic word; Please! Here another pic of mine. If you're asking about thickness you'll need to specify which rep version you're asking about! I have the undecorated Miyota version and I'd be happy to measure it when I'm home later, the decorated Miyota version is thicker, the SW200 I also have so can measure that for you too later on!! Yours looks like a gen to me?! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking of using them for a small project, but more an art project. Yes, mine is a gen indeed. Edited February 6, 2016 by Bidle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My undecorated Miyota is 9mm thick My SW200 is 9.75mm thick (the extra thickness is all in the caseback so visually looks very similar on the wrist) DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_DC_ 218 Posted February 8, 2016 Well I'm going to have to play my trump card today, as I'm wearing my 5107 and I know full well that no one else can come back with the same :P Just added a 16mm Calatrava buckle (had an 18mm before and was far too big for a Calatrava) and soon to be adding a gen spec strap courtesy of you know who!!!

DC Stunning!! 16mm buckle is gen? Edited February 9, 2016 by Phantomtech Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted February 9, 2016 ^^ No I found it on EBay, have only ever seen 18mm aftermarket ones so when I found these I ordered a few (one in steel one in rose gold) just in case I buy another Calatrava any time soon It's not quite as refined as the ones that come on the Miyota 5227 reps but it's pretty close! Now someone just needs to make an aftermarket 16mm deployant for Pateks too, the 18mm ones are ok but kinda big!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted February 9, 2016 On the left is the buckle on my 5227, on the right is the one I just got and fitted to my 5107, like I said it's not as good but it's better than having a standard non branded buckle... DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchaholicMallorca 2 Posted February 9, 2016 This one hasn't been out of the box for a while, such a great colour combo, and I'm told these aren't available anymore so glad I never sold it!! 5980r on Donerix brown gator strap with orange contrast stitching: DC Finally sourced a rep of this model from Josh at PerfectClones, buzzing doesn't justify it !

_DC_ 218 Posted February 9, 2016 Oh it's back available is it?! There'll be a few happy people about then!!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
budfox1028 0 Posted February 10, 2016 From Josh at PC, I was looking for a completely different watch, but it wasn't available. He brought this one to my attention and I was pleasantly surprised! The leather is very stiff, but the rest of the watch is very classy! I paid 175 all in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
