PR is working in that it charges and drains. I'm not sure if it's linearly doing so, if you know what I mean. It loses about a "day" on the PR meter overnight.

I'll let it rest for 40 hours this weekend and see what happens. I have no expectation that it will last 7 days, or anything extraordinary.

Yes, that's what I'm thinking as well. I'm fairly sure this is a typical movement and nothing special. Will let you know.

I bought the one that kermit_pl linked. It's not here yet, so I can't say whether it's good or bad, but I can say that Terry did send me pics on demand and answered all my questions satisfactorily
I am one that posted the nomos here including pictures. I received it end of June. Very happy with it. I still haven't begun to write a full review. But if you want a nomos tangomat rep go for it. Nice build and the closest version to the gen that is out there right now. Seller was good too.

Cool, good to hear. You bought from Terry?

Was the strap good? I went ahead and got a brown and black strap so I'm hoping they're decent.

When it gets here, I'll do a comparative review with the Rodina.

Buy cheap, buy twice. Better to do ur due research and get it from the trusted dealers on this forum to avoid disappointment. U will love this hobby a lot more if u have a positive first experience.

So far I'm wearing it with the brown strap it came with. Strap is ok but that's it, quiet thin. I ordered myself a velour leather strap in dark grey (20€) just like the ones in the nomos store. Going to switch the nomos buckle from the rep and then it should be very gen like.

It's funny because the strap on the Rodina constantly gets bad reviews, and I actually really like it. It's very thin unpadded leather. Maybe the same strap. We'll see when it gets here. EMS is showing it got "despatched" out of China today so should be here by Friday if it doesn't get stuck in customs hopefully.

Have been thinking about trying this guy's strap too: http://www.lakehouseleathers.com/st...e_Brown_Chromexcel_Horsebutt_Watch_Strap.html

Now I know absolutely nothing about Breitling, this was procured for a friend, but it looks identical to the one TDs have for double the price (when you add postage).

Quartz, everything operates, feels nice and heavy and sturdy and I think it is good value for money.

Depends on how accurate you want your reps to be, quartz is wrong, 6 marker crooked and bracelet looks a bit rough etc, but for £50 there you go. I think the main concern I have is that you don't get the same watch as the picture so its a bit pot luck what turns up. Hope your mate likes it.

Exactly, what do you expect for a fifty quid quartz rep? TDs are the place to go for mid and high end, absolutely, but my TD wanted nearly $200 for the same rep!

With Ali, you must look for photos of the actual rep on your searches (easier with quartz as the dials will be wrong) and ask the seller for photos of what you will actually get, the better sellers will oblige.

Ha ha that explains it Mickey, just bought some pens from Ali as a first try so it'll be interesting to see what they are like when they turn up. 2 MBs for £6.60 posted, so even if they're crap its throw away money anyway.

Good luck on the extra wide 13s! I've found some that'll sell 11.5-12, as that's me. But I had to message them.
