I have to say, I never thought I needed this watch until now. What model is it exactly? Factory? Cheers!

Finally someone wants sweet fruits of my research, decisions and doubts, while it took maybe 6months for me to decide which 5001/5007 I want :)

Happy to help!

Gen model is limited one - only 50 made. Ref 5001-18 "Tourneau".

Rep is made by YL factory. Here's a link to the rep - http://puretime02.com/portuguese-rg...te-dial-on-black-leather-strap-a52010-v3.html

Now there are two biggest tells of this watch.
1. The rotor (gen one has engravings "X out of 50") - and this one doesn't bother me at all!

2. Black date wheel! But.... with a little help of my friend Trusty he got me the white datewheel :) Although because of this "modification" I didnt get the latest movement decorations (v4/5 or later, I suppose factory just got a possibility to get rid of older versions), but I didnt mind that much - I'm a happy owner of this 5001, which I suppose is the only one in the rep world at the moment... ha ha.... :) a plan for the future - buy the latest Laureus 5001 with nicer movement decorations, swap the movements, sell the Laureus).

Good luck!
