Philiusmaximus 5,059 Posted August 31, 2021 Shame, a lot of people have been interested in this model. I don't understand why the lugs are so wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brang1 3,986 Posted September 1, 2021 Close enough for I - still a looker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
etj4588 159 Posted September 1, 2021 A bit disappointing as I was waiting for this one to be produced... but still close enough for me. I've contacted Andrew to see if they are available to ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PCJ 2 Posted September 3, 2021 Have been in contact with a TD. The factory is not GF - apparently this comes from an unnamed factory - but they are currently not planning to fix the small issues They're $388+shipping Have been in contact with a TD. The factory is not GF - apparently this comes from an unnamed factory - but they are currently not planning to fix the small issues They're $388+shipping For those of you with some more experience: How hard would it be to modify the lugs to the ones found on the gen (the lugs are available as they are replicated perfectly on the OG top time rep) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brang1 3,986 Posted September 4, 2021 seriously, come on- it is a rep. If you are that worried about close scrutiny then maybe reps are not your thing. I have never had ANYONE scrutinise a single watch i have worn- passing comments of Nice Watch maybe but no one really cares - only us silly watch addicts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribefan 6,768 Posted September 4, 2021 Pushers and crown are wrong anyway. Why bother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's still a $400 'fake' watch that's not even doing a great job at being a replica. I'd be interested to know if the pushers/lugs/crown can be modified or swapped or if that's not feasible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paccbet 7,176 Posted September 4, 2021 Well if you can still get it at the boutique, gen is the only way then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intresting 21,655 Posted September 11, 2021 Seems there will be a new factory called BLS that will repping this soon..... It has the notched lugs, the swiss made.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct. It looks much better, I'm glad I waited before buying it. I'll be happy with this rep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MongKok 0 Posted September 16, 2021 The BLS factory version is now available from Trusty Time. Even cheaper than the inferior version. https://trustytime.io/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_474&products_id=23730 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those on TT are very wrong, and I can't get if (and how much) it's a matter of white balance/exposure of the pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems to be just us watch-heads that pay such close attention to our own watches. I do appreciate knowing that my watch looks like the real thing, but it's worth reminding ourselves that we are paying a fraction of the price of gen and generally people wouldn't notice. This way we can be more content in the rep world! Plus, I barely get compliments from random people, let alone scrutiny haha. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanx See here: gen (creamy dial, orange chrono hand, dark yellow hour/min hands), vs 1st version with ok colors but absence of "swiss made", lugs indentation, wrong subdials and short chrono hand, vs 2nd version from BLS with all correct but "strange colors" like too white dial and lume dots and too dark reds/oranges: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MongKok 0 Posted September 17, 2021 The first picture is not gen, just a rep from another factory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're looking at the 2nd one when you say it's a rep. And indeed I wrote it: Quote 1st version with ok colors but absence of "swiss made", lugs indentation, wrong subdials and short chrono hand This is the gen: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
