peteins 3 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) im pretty sure this has been discuses... it has the new decorated movement and is very thick compared to the gen as a result, i have no clue why they made it tbh... too thick for a dress watch imo! id have the miyota 5227 any day over this!

Oh sorry, I saw the 5117 in another thread, but I thought this one was new since I didn't see it on Josh website yesterday :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakethemouse 0 Posted October 8, 2015 Lovely dress watch. I just purchased a 5227 but have been looking for the 5107 ever since i saw DC showing it off. This place is not going to be good for my wallet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted October 8, 2015 For the record, despite what it might say on Perfect Clones website, this is not a 5107. The 5107 has crown guards!!! This is a rep of the 5296, specifically the 5296-010! Looks nice but again it's monstrously thick to cater for that decorated movement!!! One of these with a standard Miyota and slimmer case please?!?! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godfathar 1 Posted October 8, 2015 What's this new obsession with deco movements these days? why are they doing this to all the slim dress watches? from Pateks to APs. it's frustrating really.. keep the thin watches thin please.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No idea, never been bothered by seeing a 2824 in the back of a rep, put a nice gold rotor on it and that's enough for me. The only complaint I've ever had about Patek reps is there aren't enough good ones, now there's all these new ones at last but they've ruined them with stupid fake bridges. Maybe they'll wear ok, might try one out when I've got some spare wedge!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted October 8, 2015 More tempted by the sector dial 5296-001 that just appeared!! Someone was asking after one of these in another thread, who was it?!? DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godfathar 1 Posted October 8, 2015 Guilty as charged DC. Hope they didn't go deco movement on that one as well :( How close to gen in terms of colors and thickness this would be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted October 8, 2015 Guilty as charged DC. Hope they didn't go deco movement on that one as well :( How close to gen in terms of colors and thickness this would be? Colours wise it looks pretty good, correct white and silver colour with blued steel hands and blue dial print, it's not as fine as the gen and the date window outline is too thick too. It's nice to see it on a blue strap too!! As for thickness, this should answer the question.., DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godfathar 1 Posted October 8, 2015 Looool. That thickness is a joke. Would never go for it. Maybe better to go with the older version you posted on another thread. It looked better. Though the dial colours were a bit off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though the dial colours were a bit off Yeah I'm inclined to agree with you, it's much closer in terms of thickness, but the lug shape was totally wrong... That's if this version is even still available, but the dial is wrong as are the lengths of the hands. As with so many of these new Patek reps, some of the old mixed with the new would be perfect, but for some reason they just miss the mark every time!!

That one definitely is on the right track. Might have to look at it more What is both impressive AND frustrating is that they've paid enough attention to note that with the sector dial the hour hand points directly to the hour track, the minute hand to the minute track and the second hand to... well you get the idea, but with all that attention to detail they couldn't just stick a straight forward Miyota in it and keep it sub 9mm!

DC Well the bright side for me is that with such new watches, I'll be holding off buying new reps. And stick to the ones I have acquired. More money for me lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That one definitely is on the right track. Might have to look at it more Yeah I found the thread and it was you, lol! I'm tempted the more I look at it. The thickness annoys me but if it is in fact the 10mm that is quoted then that's still relatively thin, it's about the same as the 5227 rep with the hunter caseback, and that's not a thick watch!!! Hmm, do I or don't I?! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Genesis 0 Posted October 9, 2015 That's what I was thinking. Yes it is thicker than the gen, but 10mm is still not super thick :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godfathar 1 Posted October 9, 2015 10m is ok. But from the pic it looks more than 10. Looks more like 12m, just like the new MKF. Hope I'm wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
