Elusive El Primero Original Rep

[Johng1122]

Been on the hunt for one of these for 2 years now.

Anyone found any of them anywhere that are even semi decent?!?

what is the reference number for that?

I cant even find one with the date marker in that location.

I don't think there will ever be a top-tier rep because the El Primero movement is so unique. It's definitely worth going gen for.

yeah, pending which one the price of a gen is not so bad.

I am more looking for the casing, dial and such to be more 1:1 on some of the reps more than the actual movement.

That's the thing, the dial will never be even close without the EP movement, due to the subdial locations.

I tried asking my seller for one but unfortunately it was no longer available. I would be interested if anyone is able to find one new.
