Mendes458 0 Posted January 13, 2020 I think either your confused or I'm confused because Calatrava is Patek It's like saying can I have a Rolex Daytona Big Bang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FW2 0 Posted January 14, 2020 GenTle is right, TDs sell that VC calling it exactly Calatrava Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also thought OP was confused too! They could have just called it simple-no-frills-dress-watch-style. But I guess Calatrava works too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jlc mut and patek Calatrava are really nice but they're all open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jlc mut and patek Calatrava are really nice but they're all open. Patek 5227. It has a "secretly" openable caseback which normally is closed. The rep has it too. Pic of the gen: When it's not open it is like this (pic of the rep): And the watch itself is gorgeous: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bertus15 15 Posted January 20, 2020 How about the Calatrava 5120 with the microrotor. https://www.trustytime02.cc/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39_205&products_id=20861 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FW2 0 Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks guys i will check both, even if i see the second one has open caseback. First time i see a rep with micro-rotor to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FW2 0 Posted January 20, 2020 Ok, the 5227 seems a really good rep. The gen has a price above the stars, so i'll go for the rep ahaha. The 5120 has a problem because it's too thicker, that's a lot of difference from the gen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bertus15 15 Posted January 20, 2020 I don't think I've been able to find a rep dress watch thinner than 9mm. If someone has any ideas please chime in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thejudge 29 Posted January 20, 2020 Bought a ZF 5227 just before Xmas very nice watch and I have tried a couple of Gens, only thing I have noticed is there is no engraving on the inside of the caseback (but not all gens seem to have this either) and it maybe a smidge 1mm thicker.
