My first rep

[method69uk]

Hi all

Bought this on holiday last week.. after frantically doing as much research as I could on the hotel wifi..



Not sure how good it is, but it feels really nice.. the only thing I'm not happy about is the ceramic bezel insert - I realised too late it has minute markings all the way around when it shouldn't. I hope this is something I can get replaced. (also, when I took these photos I realised the gap between insert and bezel isn't quite even all around.

Looks nice. Definitely better than the first rep I had.

Could not agree more, Which brings up a nice point. My first rep was a Tag Heuer from Canal St. The Bracelet broke after 1 week. I'm not even sure of the movement.

Short story. Enjoy it!

not bad, not bad at all...congrats on your 1st rep

Thanks guys.. it seemed to have all the standard things to look for.. the only thing I'm a bit bummed about is the bezel markings. Must have not noticed in my excitement!

Am going to have a search through the forum and see if a replacement will be possible

Beautious rep Sub, mate! Love the pearl placement; kinda decent and a lot better than mine. Wear this in great health!

Thanks TimeFlys - it may be a little more difficult than that though. Firstly I need a ceramic insert to replace the one I have.

On top of that, from the bit of Googling/Ebay searching I've done, the inserts I've seen mostly seem to have an outer diameter of about 38mm and inner of about 31mm

I've measure mine and the outer diameter seems to be 40mm

I'm hoping I haven't bought some sort of non-standard sized rep...

Pretty. Congrats

I would seriously welcome anyone's honest feedback about what looks right/wrong with this watch. It was only after buying it I joined this forum and started reading into all the differences properly

Thanks

A memeber posted a picture of a new gen 116613 earlier today that he pulled from TRF. It shows the bezel to look like yours with the second markings all around the insert. Looks like your rep is just ahead of the times! Enjoy it!

What thread is that on Sam1977?

Edit - Sorry - just found it I think

 

[NFleischer]

Just wear it and be happy. You're not going to turn it into a super rep anyway.

Save the money for a new, more accurate rep.

Looks good. Wear it in good health.
