The Devil Is In The Details... PP SkyMoon Tourbillion
- Thread starter GC
- Start date
First off, thanks for all the great comments, I really do appreciate them!
Second, this watch runs a 21j Automatic with working master calendar (i.e. day @9, date @3, month @12 and 24 hour day/nite indicator @6 (disguised as a moon phase). On the flip side/underside of the watch the blue dial with celestial stars runs on a quartz movt.

Don't forget we are giving one of those MReplica ones away this month: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/free-raffle-patek-sky-moon-57351 great watch for the money. Time will tell how long it lasts, there is a story that no one has yet been able to find out how the hell you change the battery, I'd leave the quartz hacked when not being worn.
No, it's not very accurate to the gen but who cares?
Gen Pics
Not the best but done on phone camera.
Some more of TTK's shots of the rep

nope.
there's no reps that are even close to accurate as far as I can find.
PP is my favorite watch brand, and honestly I'm very, very disappointed in the
rep factories ability to make reps of them. There's almost no good PP reps on
the market at all to be straight. Even this one posted is way off. Not even
close to close on details really. Granted, it's still a nice watch and it has some
nice detail features, but they're no where near even close to the gen. None of
the dials, the back, bah, nevermind no use going into all the discrepancies.

Yeah, some of the flaws are so glaring- the number of dials, placement of Tourbillon, etc. It would seem that these would be easy enough to fix if the rep designer(s) had just taken more than a cursory glance at pictures of the gen.
I apologize to sound like such a neophyte, but would it be possible to get a custom face made that's more accurate?
Thanks again.
well it's not just the face, the back is way off too. they don't even get the number of numbers right. and the crowns. basically the entire watch is way off. and honestly
repping a 1.5 million dollar watch or whatever it costs now... well... safe to say if
someone knows what that watch is, they'll know you couldn't afford it and that it's
a rep, even if the rep was fairly good. who can afford a 1.5 million dollar watch? I'd
be buying many more things before a watch with that kind of flow.

Personally, if I was asked if it was real or not, I wouldn't try to pass it off as the real deal, but comparing the rep to the gen- it's not even close. The gen is just prettier, and the level of workmanship is miles ahead. I'd want a more accurate rep just for the aesthetic value.
If anyone knows of more accurate Pateks, please let me know! Looking specifically for a Sky Moon Tourbillon and/or a Grand Complication model. Thanks again.

seeing how Patek is my favorite watch brand, I've been searching for nice reps of
them since the beginning of me looking for watches. I've pretty much been let
down every single site I've visited. I think the best you're going to find, well at least
the best that I can find, are fantasy watches that look nice.
There are certainly some nice looking Patek fantasy watches out there that have a
decent level of workmanship to them and a good amount of detail, but they're all
fantasies for sure. From what I've found anyway. So for "more accurate" Pateks,
we're probably out of luck unless you like their Aquanaut series, which I don't.
If you can find any, or can find anyone that can find any, please let me know, I'd
be the first to throw down some money for an accurate Patek rep.
