I have been thinking of getting an AP and wanted to get some opinions on sizing
My wrist is 6.5-7in and/or 17-18cm
I have provided some pictures of some watches on my wrist (SBGA443, 116500, 126610)
I think all 3 watches can work on my wrist, but the sub is the biggest I would go
I am in the market for a 15500, 15202, and a 15450
Thank you

I am looking to upgrade my dial on my 15500. MPF seems to have a verry nice grey 15510 dial that should fit. Is this as easy as swapping the dial? My watch (15500 zf v3) has a clone movement. The MPF is miyota based

hi guys, does anyone have experience with servicing the a2824 movement? is it worth servicing or is there any movement swaps that could be done? I read the seagull could be a good choice, the watch in question is a jf diver i'm looking at.... thanks guys

Plus I’m not aware of GS reps. Do they exist?

There are a couple TD's with GS's, but I've only seen the creams and GMTs.
I was planning on order on soon but haven't found any reviews on RWI yet.
I have alot of watches on my wish list 😅😅
Trying to study each rep one by one.
Thank God for RWI 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

The problem with GS reps is that they just can't match the appearance of a GEN GS. I would think that's also the case with AP reps. Nobody can replicate the Zaratsu polishing to that perfection . . .

very true, it would be interesting to see a side by side comparison to the gen.

I'm a GS fan boy for some reason, idk why.
But I still prob couldn't tell the difference between their 6k watches next to their 60k watches 😅😅

It's a shame because you could probably frankon gen parts pretty cheap vs other gens.

It would be nice to have a daily beater GS rep. Hopefully I'll own a real one some day 🤞

Anyway sorry, i know this is a AP chat I didn't mean to clog up with GS.

Please forgive me 😅😅🙏🙏
