My first Middle East rep....

[wtrbrdm]

A buddy of mine gave me his messed up rep to play with. He spent $50 on it somewhere in the Middle East.

- Best I can figure is a clone NH35
- Case is huge
- Movement held in by that white plastic ring
- SELs poking out by a mile
- Cyclops offset to the center of the watch
- Bezel loose. No hytel...rather an odd looking wire spring around the inside
- No click spring....rather a small spring and detent
- Stem not threading in
- The list goes on and on

It was definitely fun messing with it and comparing it to my 116610 and the new VS movement that just arrived.

The plastic movement holder is classic lowest tier Chinese shitter style. The bezel circlip arrangement is classic BP style. It's a super-cheap Chinese rep. The only thing middle-eastern about it was the seller!

It's always good to get hold of these to mess about on, and shows others what the difference is between a good rep and a not good rep.

Some pics of the rest of it would be nice!
