Oakley

Just curious but is there any trusted dealers that sell Oakley reps?

Not likely to find any. Similar to Oris, gen Oakley minute machine (for example) are around $1.5k - 2k new, and less for preowned.

I doubt a factory would reverse engineer one considering the little demand and likely little to no profit.

Depending on the model you want, check out eBay for preowned, some are in the same price range as reps for other brands.

for gen oakley watches at market rate, not stupid ebay pricing you can join the oakleyforums site. they have the same kind of rules that you have to follow here, but I was able to buy a Gen Red Minute Machine complete set for what I thought was fair pricing a year ago.

Love the red! Do you know what year yours was made? I picked mine up from Oakley Standard Issue in 2008. I had Oakley service it once but I rarely wear it anymore.

Was a 5th anniversary gift so I’ll always keep it.

Love the MM and Hollow Points. I have a few other Oakleys but it is the cheaper models. Just don't feel like spending $1k+ on a quarts watch that is near impossible to find parts for if ever broken. But i do understand why most factories wouldn't tool up to make them. Worth a shot asking because some sites actually have a section for Oakley but no listings.

hollowpoint and minute machine quartz movements are 100% available.

MM has a Swiss Ronda 13 jewel quartz. I’ve had Oakley service mine once but barely wear it anymore. I just leave the crown pulled out so the battery doesn’t drain.

I know the movements you can get replacements it more along the lines of clasps, links, etc. that are getting harder and more expensive. I have replaced a couple movements in my other oakleys.
