Hope it works this time

DW adjustment looks great!

Is it me or the two seems to be Different DW font all together?

See the inside of the Four and thickness of the font.

I think they are DW from two different suppliers.

good looking watch!
How does the strap feel?
The DW is a but to high i would say, but it prob takes you 5 min to get used to it.

Yep. First one has an ever so slightly high DW.

Rubber strap feels good enough. I can’t get too excited about the strap.

Ill take macros tommorow

The second one is spot on:

Looking forward to your review.

In your review, could you please comment on the fonts of the DW are they both same or different in terms of thickness and size.

could you take a video changing the DW from 1-31st, it would be interesting to see whether the position is accurate.

Here are my initial thoughts:

The weather is bad here so I am unable to take decent pictures in natural outdoor light but here goes.


Dial/hands:
Looks great. Very nice sunburst effect. Has a premium look to it...doesn’t look cheap. Hour surrounds are nicely polished, no obvious signs of dust, finger-prints, smudges, pubes etc. The quality is comparable to a typical ZF PAM....which is excellent IMO. There’s no way that I could spot this as a rep on the wrist.

Datewheel:
One has slightly better date alignment than the other. Font looks the same to me but I can’t be bothered looking at them in more detail than a cursory glance.

Few macros:

“23” might be the worse alignment but at wrist distance it looks fine to my eyes...plenty of gen Patek’s out there with non central dates.

Movement is pretty. Without loupe and without knowledge of movements in general, it’s hard for non rep forums members to believe this ain’t gen. I bet if I passed this around a board room meeting, nobody would believe me if I said it’s a rep.

Strap:
Not much to say or get excited about. Nice matte finish. Doesn’t feel cheap...fit for purpose IMO

Indoor lighting:

Conclusion:
Very nice rep. Quality is great. It looks great. Rotor on both is quite....gen is LOUD!! Personally I think the design is meh. It’s too thin for my taste. If the dial said “Timex” and not “Patek” nobody would care for the design at all. The same can’t be said for a Rolex Submariner for example. Still a worthy addition to any collection. Hope this helps

Could not agree more... even though this is a great rep, the gen is not a great gen

Nice review. I also think that the design is too plain for my taste, would much prefer the 5167r or 5164 or even the new 5698.

With that being said the gen 5167 is selling for 25k in the second hand market, not a bad watch for 2% of the price that looks identical on the wrist.

Nice Review.
Appreciate your time and effort to do thia mini review for us.

 

[Doud]

Thx for the review! Is the thickness consistent between both the watches you got? So far all the measurements I have seen differed but it’s probably due to the calipers used. Since you have two in hands would be interesting to see.

Nice Review.
Appreciate your time and effort to do thia mini review for us.

The battery in my calipers is dead.

But remember each watch could easily have a machining tolerance of +/- 0.1mm (combination of tolerances on thickness of: Mid-case, caseback, gasket, crystal etc.

Then on top of this, the assembly tolerance could also result in a tolerance of +/- 0.05 (depending on gasket compression etc....not every piece is assembled to the exact same specifications in the rep world).

Therefore each piece could easily have a thickness tolerance (from factory) of +/- 0.15mm.

Then add thickness variation due to temperature, calliper tolerance and it soon becomes obvious that taking about +/- 0.25mm thickness difference is rather academic
