Having trouble find the Patek Philippe World Time Moon Edition & Also the "globe"

[iamwatching]

I'm new to the forums and have been search around the TD's and haven't been able to find these 2 watches:

I have found the complications but not these exact models, are they too hard to REP?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

One of them should be available with Tim from Fat Panda

Hi, they both look wonderful as gens.
General rule on reps: if You can´t find it and can´t check pics of a member who bought it before ou, skip it. It´s hard but realistic. It will be nothing like the gen and a poor rep, just money spent.
Study the Patek section well, there are some extremely well made ones and it´s one of those You really want, with all the shine, tiny details etc.

(Note: You can always e-mail a TD with a picture of the gen and he will look for something similar, but as said, if it was good, somebody else would have it).

Hi iamwatching,

I love worldtimers too, but have given up on finding any that looks HALF as decent as the gen ones. Read my findings/reply to another member who was also interested in the same enamel piece you've tagged:https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/176107-World-time-5131 (or you can do a search on the thread "world time 5131").

I've recently come across a chinese instagram account who claims to have the piece (he posted a photo of the rep, same bad quality as the pic i've posted on the other thread). I'd suggest to stay far away.

If you really love worldtimers like i do, I'd recommend forking out the money for a gen piece, and it's possible to get one from Orient (under 1 grand; they have several designs), Longines or Ball (under 2 grand).

As to the question to if they're too hard to rep, i think it's not too hard, but it simply doesn't make economical sense to the rep makers to remap and come up with a new assembly to even build module onto existing movements, what more to replicate a complete worldtimer movement. Not many people (layman) are even aware of the fact that there's such a watch function (at least my non-watch-loving friends were amused when I showed them my Orient's worldtimer function).

Good luck in finding THE ONE!

have you guys seen the VC WORLDTIME? just released check out trusty. I'm trying to decide on this one

I believe you're talking about this?
Rep (mod, i know trusty isn't trusted dealer here. I'm merely using photo as reference, thanks):

I say this rep is a total let down (issue as simple as 12 hours vs 24 hours; I saw that and didn't bother to compare the rest). Another tell-tale is that if London &/or 12 o'clock indicator is at the true-North direction, likelihood the worldtime function doesn't work at all, which renders the rep completely pointless. you'll be better off with other super reps which serve their functions.

I was in VC boutique a couple of weeks ago, and especially went in just to have a look at the overseas world time. you can compare for yourself below.

Gen:

Like yourself, I enjoy world time complications too. & I think you don't have to break the bank to have a real world timer. check out Orient's real/functional world time.

I got this at less than a grand (a lot lesser actually!):

And if you must have a Swiss piece, save up gen Longines and Tissot world time. At less than 2 grand, I suggest saving up and you'll understand why this complication is the best-kept secret gem from the non-watch people.

Reason why I keep steering away from rep world time is due to the simple fact none of these reps work functionally as a world timer. And of course the aesthetics are beyond horrible too.

That said, I would love to know if there's finally a good (aesthetically) and functional world time rep, so keep those queries coming!

Cheers!

Great input. Totally agree it's a mess
