Hi, Guys

For all of you who saw my posts of all the Gens i own. With a daily 1-2 P.M's from fellow members, who ask me to post pics of the Rep I finally settled for.

After spending alot of time on Rep forums.

Here i unveil to you the most perfect Rep to my eyes, when compared to the Gen i had Owned.
(All i can say is, I will probably not buy a Gen anytime soon).

I credit this Beautiful creation to Flav
(The Master of Perfection)

It is a Fully Modded 183G

MODS:
-Custom dial and hands mix lume done next to genuine for comparison to perfect match.
-Dial lower plate polished before lume application to give the silvery look to the dial lume.
-Exact sapphire AR as genuine.
-Tall cannon pin, flattened and polished.
-Swiss ETA Swan Neck G-Series High Rate best model.
-Polished crown tube.
-Lubed and sealed.

If you use a little care when you're screwing the crown back in, you should be fine. I had a cheap rep PAM210 for over a year and never had any problems with it.

It looks great. Do the rad cases still have issues with the lug bar screws falling out or stripping?

As far as I know, yes. I stripped one of the screws in my DSN 47mm Rad after a single strap change. :| That's why I ordered 4 extra screws and wire lugs when I ordered the watch. :wink:

As a whole package cool watch, although the satement "-Swiss ETA Swan Neck G-Series High Rate best model" is slightly incorrect, as there's no such mov't made yet (Swiss 6497 High beat rate), bar genuine.

Show us the caseback photo when you get around it, we'll be able to tell you more about the mov't itself. :wink:

cheers,
babola

i've been careful but i've stripped the threads on a dsn and a eddie 183.
it's a real shame because it's the prettiest watch on the planet
