I don't want to be negative but:

- The pearl is the most horrible I have ever seen AAWWW come on it tisnt that bad
- Misaligned bezel insert (as 98% of the rep)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> correctable
- Bezel insert color is too dark
- Second hand is terribly short
- No lume on the markers >>>>>>>>>>>that sucks... right! if they let them white ok but green??
- Marker on 3 is too big (date window too small or not at the good spot ?)
- All marking on the insert is bad. Bars are too long, numbers are too big
- In fact, I think the insert is too narrow !
- White square around the date window is too close of the window and really messy
- Crown gard have a strange shape (not much, but still)
- All font on the dial are very poor quality
- Date font is completely wrong and not centered
- Bracelet use screw =>>>>>>>im happy about this
- Crown is bad shape (too much "tooth")
- Case back is totally wrong and poor finish =>>>>right

Sorry, this is what I have spoted in few minutes. Personally, I would have spend a little more for a better version of such a nice watch.

WOW!!!! What else could be wrong I guess that about sums it up.

do you think a watchsmith could "tight" it up?

Not worth spending money on it imo.

if you are a bit skilled with your hand, try some CA Glue. this is what saved my cheap Tag Aquaracer (which is now quite a nice watch after few mod)

Don't put too much, just a bit at 1 place will do the trick.

i will wait until WBKs answers, i dont want to ship it back to him through the whole custom system it might get lost..

glueing it would mean that it cant be turned around anymore i will do this when nothing else helps

im sure WBK has some nice idea he is really good guy!
but i would prefer that watchman explains me his trick LOL

Read this:

Any rep will look slightly or alot better in photos, also reps in photos are like fashion models:
they look pretty as an image but when you have the real item in your hand and you wear it everyday, that will be the true test to how good it really is, so no one can speak of the quality of a rep from just a photo.

Then again, some reps look fabulous on photos but in reality, they are assembled so poorly they fall apart the minute you touch them....

Its an okay watch, but not very convincing as a replica...the $200 version Ruby offers looks worlds apart...

Sorry to post this here, its basically just to add to the conversation...

If you want a nice $100 rep take a look at the River sub, its the same as the old TTK noobmariner, has the 28k beat movt, I think it looks great and the price is cheap...I actually bought 2 (from a different dealer before I found out River had them for cheaper), one black, one green...

For the price I think its one of the nicest reps around...
