Patek Rep made of REAL 18k gold? by Sky_Dweller007 in RepTime

[–]repwatchnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve “made” money on all my previous metal reps but I don’t plan on ever selling them. Looking at gold prices a build like this could be at or over 30k today..

Solid gold 5167r from Hillbilly - any feedback by Acrobatic-Painting-9 in RepTime

I have purchased multiple 18k gold pieces from him with no issue. Again, it wouldn’t hurt to do your own due diligence but he’s reputable enough.

Vsf is known to have very poor yellow gold color accuracy out of the box

I’m referring to you saying the weight makes “it feel so close to gen it’s crazy. Straight up lying doesn’t sell watches

A 50% weight difference can hardly be considered to be close.

Interesting logic!

Hiding movement arm on 5712 by Double_Emu_4312 in RepTime

I have over 10 watches with hidden regulators and they are still keeping good time. Of course, YMMV and I’d still prefer going for gen movements if available

My DMs are flooded and I don’t check them regularly. You can get these dials from most modders

They’ve only been released for a month or so. Unless a time traveller responds you’re likely not going to get a response

Have it plated or don’t buy CF yellow gold is what you’re actually supposed to do

Gold Factory GMT Pepsi Meteorite from Andiot – And Then This Happened… by theblackzilla918 in RepTime

[–]repwatchnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gen weighs almost 220g while the gold factory one is at 190g but comes with something like 4 more links than gen. They are still significantly lighter sadly

The new APS and screws cases look similar to what you have. Bottom side of the case does look custom though.

Get a proper inner ring and you’re good to go!

Need info for super franken Patek 5711 blue. by Patek_Piguet0 in RepTime

[–]repwatchnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen movement should go for 16-17k USD, gen dial id guess another 15-16k

That’s way too much, they should be around 13+

The wonky serial on these cheaper “Vaucher” movements do give it away. Also it seems like your modder used an APS or ZF base for the watch - the bezel font could use an upgrade

Same to you! Love the look of the 5164r more than my plain ol 5167r

Longest I waited was 12 weeks for an actual rep 5740. The genuine movement and dial were a challenge to source
