Movement question

[116610LV]

So I think I'm going to sell my Gen 116610LV because it's appreciated about $3K in a year.

I'm looking at a Rep Gold GMT II Green dial and have the following options. I've read the Asian 2836-2 is a solid movement. But the seller has the following options:

Asian 2836-2 Automatic Movement 28800 vpm

and

Swiss ETA 2836-2 25J Automatic 28800 vpm "Sweeping second hand"

Same price.

Doesn't the Asian 2836-2 also sweep just like the Swiss ETA?

No the Asian will sweep better, they work very hard, you like long time friend and only need to fed them wice.

Maybe you post pics of you gen LV and we send you girls who wuv you long time.

Send over those girls!!!

Sorry brother, but it was a serious question.

I can sell the LV for $7,500 minimum, buy Rep., pocket $7,200. What's not to love about that?!?

Now, can someone give me a serious response to my question?

Looks like you already have a rep in a gen box, we see those all the time here, LOL.

NOW-can I get a serious answer to my OP?

Sure if you like, relax buddy. You made one post here with a quite a crazy question, so take it easy.

It will sweep exactly the same as a gen ETA, ok??

 

[116610LV]

Sorry! But Holy sh*t! :headdesk:

I seriously like the 116718-GRN, but I'm NOT dropping 26K on the real thing. I really have no use for a 8K or 26K watch...

The rep looks pretty good, I just want to make sure I get the movement that LOOKS like I dropped 26K on the watch.

I am surprised the asian eta and swiss eta cost the same from the vendor. They are basically identical movements, one is chinese made and other is maybe swiss made

Dude dont sell the gen until after you buy a rep you like I mean it.....

What's crazy about the question Sub?

Cool. Thanks. I know the hand stack is off too, but nobody outside a dealer/watchmaker will notice that. I also have a gen GMTIIC SS that I plan to sell.

I will certainly wait a month after I get the rep(s) to make sure I like them before I sell gens. Actually, in addition to the rep gold GMT, I'm ordering a TT Sub rep with Asian 3135 mvmt. I can get both for about $500 from one of the trusted sellers here.

Lay off the guy please.

thanks boss!

I was just breaking his balls a bit of fun and I did answer his question in my last post.

I just kinda thought it was crazy to sell a beautiful gen to then buy a plated rep. I can see the guys point and I understand times are tough now, again I was just poking fun at him as I thought he wasn't serious.

Sub-No harm. It just struck me the wrong way. I appreciate the help.

The back story is that I want to sell the gen sub, gmtii, and a breitling hercules and take that money to add to savings for a new home down payment. That's why I'm selling the gens.

I know mate but people who don't know you tend to get the idea you are an even bigger asshat than you actually are. Why not save your acid (and admittedly sometimes very clever) wit for those who deserve it?

Try to be more like a trained Rottweiler than a half wild Pit Bull.

116610LV, gotta ya bro, makes sense to invest in your future rather then unnessary luxuries, best of luck to you and I'm sure you'll find a rep thats right for you and believe me I've done more then my share buying gens and I understand the expense of it.

TB, well ok, when you put it that way.

I will STFU now, lol.

when the hell are we going to see a decent rep of this motha hulk?
