Hey all,

I bought this watch a couple months ago and it was my first rep I ever bought so i just went all in without reading description or doing research.

I just realised that the watch is pretty good but except one thing.

The Week Hand is a Second Hand on the rep.

So I was wondering if you guys have any clue if I could freeze the second hand?

Heres the link of the watch I got.


Thanks !!

Sell it at a loss and buy the new BBR

Oh. Didn't see you wanted the black ceramic.

Well, can't help you there. A more established watch maker can help you but I don't think there's an easy way to do this. Good luck.

I am in a similar position with a replica, so I am looking at buying case, dial, hands and movement and having a go at my first franken build as I really like the particular Watch, so if I pull it off without a massive FUBAR I will sell the ori rep or keep both ;)

However, as @Reaps says, once I have researched / priced all this properly it may turn out to be cheaper to just buy a better quality Rep and sell the first one (y)

Yeah I think I might go with BBR.

Thanks for the help everyone !! 😁
