A Rolex gigant - The Challenge

Recommended Posts

Pihlippe

Perhaps the largest ever produced in replica models.

I bought mine from MR and as usual service was awesome

 

The watch:

Size: 51mm x 28mm

Movement: Asian Automatic Movement A23J

Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds and date display

Case: Solid 316L stainless steel case

Crystal: Mineral crystal

Dial: Black dial with lumed markers and hands

Bezel: Uni-directional rotating black ceramic bezel

Strap: Stainless steel bracelet

Clasp: Deployant clasp

 

It should be easy to get waterproof because of one thick crystal and a triple o-ring seal in the crown. The problem may be that the crown tube is pressed into the case and not screwed

 

With a weight of 306 grams, you must have a strong forearm to lift it.

Build quality feels and looks good and at a price of $ 178 you get a lot for the money ...... literally. :)

The lume could be better though

 

If you miss people notice your watches, you can most likely assume that they do it with this giant.

Surprisingly it is very comfy to wear on my 8 inch wrist.

The bracelet is also nice, i think this is better than that on my DSSD.

The bracelet measures 23/18mm, on the DSSD it is 21/16mm

 

I would not recommend this to anyone who is looking for a daily beater,then you rather buy an DSSD.

This is the watch for those who want a complete collection or one watch that is not so common.

I do not believe rep factories will produce this for a long time.Therefore, it can be difficult to get hold of shortly.

 

Enough talk, here are some pictures

Thanks for watching. :)

 

EDIT: Change pictures

Yep, sweet.

I want one !!

It doesn't look ridiculous in the way a Jacob 5 dialled blinged-up bugger

would.

Might find it hard to do up your shirt-sleeves !

Nice..................just remember to wear it on opposite arms each hour, if you left it on one arm more than an hour its likely to suffer permanent stretching and after 5 days would touch the floor. Trust me I am a doctor :giggle:

Still waiting for mine. Seemingly the first one I ordered, which was sent by DHL, has been confirmed lost, so I'm now waiting on QC pics of a replacement.

Don't think my 6 1/2 inch wrists can pull this off!

The only thing that is really bothering me is the middle link on the ''bracelet to case attaching''. It looks like its soften or something, perhaps pressed metal. I know its the first version of it :P

That thing looks more like a rep of one of my Invictas ( I have a dozen most in the 50mm size) . Way huge. Is there a gen Rolex in this size,or is it just a homage to Rolex in general.

Violator, don't violate our rulez- word Invicta" is strictly prohibited in this Forum, and violators will be towed (dragged) to Gulag in chains, and flamed to the rest of their miserable life.

:D

Now... repeat after us - INVICTA IS A CRAP, INVICTA IS A CRAP... about 100 times, maybe God will forgive you first time...
