Hi there! anyone know if this reference has ever existed as a rep? If so, where could it be found or which factory used to make it? Many thanks for your input!

There is:
24 A Series from DSN, and Eddie Lee (Cartel) with T dial.
24C Series T dial from XF.
24 D,N Series from DSN
24 R series from XF

All are long discontinued and extremely hard to find.

I have owned various versions of the A series. I presently own the C series and R series which in my opinion are the best versions.

Here is a good write up from @KOT1917

@fred I would be very careful. A lot of these rep websites tend to be scam sites. That watch looks like a XF but its been discontinued for ages. I highly doubt its available and also I am not sure if this dealer is legit.

yup.. be very careful. also, even the TD's would tell you as such and you know they'd want your business

simply put, some "reps" are real genuine collector's items.. such is the fabled 24 :) I actually passed on these back in the day because it was too "bulky" for my style

but yeah.. certain reps imo have transcended into myth status simply because of the quality and the fact it's unattainable now

one does wonder.. if a watch cannot be acquired as a replica.. what then becomes of it? :unsure: obviously.. still can't have it serviced as a gen, but in terms of "is it still a rep if it a rep can no longer be acquired?" .. hmm, makes me think

old-time collectors definitely are blessed to have these NLA's in their collection :)

addendum: because we can't edit post.. actual TD's will tell you if you inquire about any of the "myth" watches..

"sorry friend, no factory makes those any longer"

now that... THAT are words of power :eek:
