High-end dressy sports watches (AP RO, PP Nautilus, VCO)

[honeybear 0]

I just wanted to share with you photos of my collection of high-end dressy sports watch replicas: the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Patek Philippe Nautilus, and Vacheron Constantin Overseas.

 

Group Photo.

 

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15300

 

Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A

 

Vacheron Constantin Overseas 47040

 

The AP and VC are from Puretimewatch, and the Patek is from Hont (but is the standard cartel 1:1 version).

 

Now for some photos of my gen Vacheron Constantin Overseas.

 

 

I think that the VCO from Puretime, which is essentially the one Silix used to offer, but without the double AR, is the best available on the wrist. In particular, it has the trapezoidal date window, larger Maltese cross, and larger arabic numerals, as well as a shorter crown. I have however seen a variant (with the black dial) which has the cartel case, with the Silix type dial, but it had a white on black datewheel (which is incorrect). A word of caution, the VCO has many small variations, and this is a watch where you really have to rely on QC photos, as opposed to just what is showed on the dealer websites. There are different crowns, casebacks, bracelets, dials, and watch hands.

 

This is the side by side photo comparison of the genuine and an older replica (cartel) versions of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas. The bracelet is a bit lower quality than the non-cartel version of the VCO that I currently have, in that the shiny beveled part between the links is cut more deeply than on the gen. However, I have seen cartel versions of the replica with a higher-quality bracelet.

 

There is a good comparison of the rep and gen VCO here:

The rep is on the left, and the gen is on the right. A number of people thought the rep was the gen, with many pointing to the date font, since it has a genuine ETA movement. The gen doesn't use a ETA movement, instead, it uses a JLC movement. See the article below for a look at the movement in the gen:

The most noticeable difference is the clarity of the dial, although I believe that the rep can really benefit from AR coating on the inside of the crystal. I don't think the gen has AR, rather it just seems to have a higher quality sapphire crystal.
