I have decided to buy this timepiece from Trusty times and it seems to be pretty much ticking all the criteria, except one, The chronograph on the original one has got no white dials encircling the chronograph, whereas the rep has got the white small dials encircling the chronographs.
Could the rep be customized? and is it that big of a deal breaker? The original costs close to 1300 USD while the rep is 120. Thanks

Think this is one of the F1’s using the selita movement and may even come boxed too. Email Sead at [email protected] for any questions and also order that way, rather than via the site.

Good of luck and let us know how you get on.

I wouldnt really recommend that rep. It got the typical chinatown look

1. The white circles you pointed out.
2. The movement is wayy different (see the date location is quite different, thats a BIG difference)
3. IMHO I think you could save al ittle more and have a way better rep

ive literally just been looking on my phone to get the link to help out here

I used to own one very similar to this one. Except the model was the CAU1116.

Very good rep for the price, the exact same movement that the gen uses (Ronda Quartz) BUT the crown did not screw in -like gen- wich was a bummer because its a sport watch that you could not get wet under no circunstances.

After 8-12 month of using that watch the crystal fell off, and i was never able to repair it.

Here's a QC pic of said Watch
