It just occurred to me that I wasn't able to upload the pics of my calibre when I got it so here's my new favorite.

I just had this one on my wrist at an AD yesterday

The version you're wearing looks great, especially the silver subdial. Nice find!

I haven't seen that on the reps from any of the TDs, do you have a link you can post or PM?

Believe it or not that came from Stan the man WBK was $200 but it was a special order. Just pm him show him the watch and ask if he can get it. It's super quality for that kind of money you can't go wrong. Make sure he gets you the right version I had to send my first one back then we got it right on the second go round.

I saw it right after I saw this thread! That's cool I'm sure he'll find one. I saw another one in gold which appeared to have the accurate silver subdial (would put on a strap) http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=170598

That is amazing!! I'm so scared to get a gold rep as much as I want to. I've had bad luck with gold plating in the past and I don't think I could pull off the gold definitely can't afford it lol.

yeah I've never had a gold plated rep, just ordered a rose gold plated radiomir california homage (sterile) from getat though so I'll see soon enough. I ostensibly have the dough but could never imagine paying $35K for this specific watch in gold, I just feel like it's insanely overpriced and the watch is very trendy, probably wouldn't wear it much in a couple of years and could see demand dropping off.

I have a couple of gold plated gens, a sekonda, a rotary, a gold filled viiintage gen omega, and used to have a gold vermeil gen cartier. definitely varied experiences, some are great, the others not so much. When I've seen wear it's been where the caseback meets the wrist.

Let me know how it goes.

I've had a few plated gens as well. Couple of old cartier tanks and they held up ok I noticed the case back thing as well the puny solid gold tank didn't show much better lol. The only nice gold watch I had was a rolex from before the 50's snap back. It just wasn't my style.

Is the crystal AR'd and what movement is in that puppy??

I don't believe it was ard but I can't remember. This was a 21j auto ran like a top I was in love with the watch till I saw this.

I ended up selling my titanium Pam and the cartier to grab this one. The movement is with speedy and cwazy worked his magic on the dial.

The Franck muller?

I paid $375 I think then $100+ shipping to cwazy and whatever speedy is gonna charge me for the service. This is one I will never let go. Out of every watch I have ever owned rep or gen this is the nicest.

I picked it up in an m2m deal and it has a 7753 movement. It would randomly stop until the chrono was started and then it would keep time again so I sent it out for service and figured hey I'm not gonna have it for a while let's get some lume too. The anticipation on seeing it in person is killing me.
