Pugwash

Guys, he's already stated it was the start-up diagnostic mode.

Downstairs, across from the KFC. They don't hold much stock, so you may have to wait a few days for them to get your watch. If you're after a few, it can take a week or so.

The AR helps, even on a white dial. Sometimes, the crystal just disappears. Totally beautiful.

I love the Orange hands/dial though. That lume is mental.

Has the money come out of your account? I paid Silix (not that address, but another one I'm not going to share for security purposes) by Moneybookers last year. This is their current info: "We accept MoneyBookers, Western Union, bank transfer, and we could take credit card directly. Please email us at silixprime@gmail.com for instruction. We change our Paypal account from time to time. Thanks. 2006-06-08"

You take what you can get. If my Fish weren't certified waterproof to silly depths, I'd open it and swap movements, but that's not going to happen. I doubt anyone would buy the same watch in Swiss and Asian, so we'll be waiting a while for those comparisons.

Fair enough. Here's thanks to Imageshack: Asian: Swiss: Both:

I have in my hands an Asian SFSO and a Swiss SFSO. I have just taken photos of the two together and will post them as soon as my server is back.

There are more than two. The one our replica is of is the Steelfish X-Plus, of which there are three versions. One is the one we all have (and the one I mistook for a rep at the beginning of this thread), another is the one with the same strap and a pointy second-hand and the last one is the older version with the square-lump strap and the wavy S on the dial.

Go on, have a blue one, too.

... and this one has the same second hand as our reps:

Consider yourself corrected. This myth has sprung from the pictures of the older version on the Breitling site. This is a picture from Joyful Collection of a genuine SFSO. Yes, the second hand is different.

Wait, Joe Montana, he's not a small man, he wore red and ... he played number 16 for the 49ers ... 1-6-4-9 Joe, is that you? How's the knee/thumb?

Today is a strap-swap day. I swapped the straps from my 127 and 187 over and I like it.

Please stop posting pictures of white-dial working Daytonas. They make me cry. I want a daytona ...

I agree. There are many, many members here turning out significantly better photos on a weekly basis.

And then some.

One I await with anticipation.

This cost me the same as a Super-rep. The same as my SFSO, in fact. ETA inside and all the rest, but I wear it less than the SFSO. Super-reps are good.

Not really, considering sapphire is an upgrade. I'm considering that for my Monster now ... thanks for making me spend money I don't have.

155.3428mph (250km/h) to be super-duper exact. If you're going to correct the pedantic, you'd better double-check your figures.

You're absolutely right. I saw the pic then saw the word Merc later on and my brain filled in the gaps.

Isn't it the Bangkok Chinese Mafia? I forget the exact bunch.

It's MPH on that dial. The Mercs are limited to 155mph.

Damn, will you lot stop making me want a vintage Daytona?
