Has anyone bought this? I saw it on ReplicaWatch88.

If anyone has it, can you give me some info (movement, size, lume quality, etc.) and whether it's worth it. Thanks

from the looks of it, a7750 movement same as the black and the white version of this watch. should be 43mm but check with the seller before you buy. 43mm is the correct size. no lume on this one. maybe just a bit on the hands but none on the dial same as gen

similar to this one: http://www.replicawatch88.com/index.php?productID=971

The strap and deplo look like the RS2 PVD, I have it and its the worst combination ever !

both strap and deployant are really bad, I replace it with a generic strap (deplo do not fit in a generic strap)

I have seen a swiss 7750 version who cost more than 1k with the same bad quality strap

Shouldn't the dial be carbon fiber style? If its the Singapore GP Edition.

good point lezzare. it really should have carbon fibre on the dial. maybe it does and the photos haven't picked it up. if it really doesn't have the carbon fibre patten, that is a pretty big flaw!

Oh wow, you are right, here's the gen:

That makes it an easy decision for me; no way.
Thanks for pointing this out.

The picture quality could affect the green, but the rep definitely does not have the carbon checkered pattern dial. To me that's a big flaw.

Also the gen is supposed to have super-lume hands and numerals.

Here's a text from a review of the gen:

"...The color green links to the glowing green borders on Singapore’s Formula One Night track. Likewise, the push-buttons brings to mind the stop-watches of the 1950’s-race-car era. The checkered black dial, with its super luminous hand-applied Arabic numerals and hands, is obviously reminiscent of carbon fiber, material used in formula one racing car – even the steering wheel is constructed from it."

Its weird that the 21j version has the right CF dial. Probably from different factory.

That's interesting. This one has a green o-ring around the crown, incorrectly.

The pic is just bad. If you look closely you can see it is a CF dial.
It also says so in the description.
(I mean the original leather strapped one, not the bracelet)

I've ordered this rep from trustytime just last week. It's got the asian 7750 movement and the dial is CF. Should be in my hands next week, hopefully.

I've had a few dud rep purchases lately, so I'm due to get a good one. I'll let you know.
