I have heard very good things about Finepics

I would love to see the Noob next to one of the "Perfect" or "ultimate" subs

There are some fantastic deals to be had on the Brosnan era non Co-Axial SMP at the moment, even if the window prices haven't fallen
As for the 45mm/22mm black PO, the minute someone reps the 22mm rubber strap or starts selling the genuine ones for something less than complete rip-off prices ($300!!) I'm there. In the meantime my lightly modded Asian 45mm/20mm from Trusty is serving me very well - what is the point in buying the ETA when it has a poorer dial (oversized Omega logo) and the exact same case?!
I think it is sick that omega think they can charge what theydo for ther gen straps, i am so glad that our dealers have got the good leather straps and deployments now.

Just plain disgusting, so some idiot or chav or rapper wanabe will have it and think it is cool untill it falls apart.

Below is a snipit from trc about the Gran Turismo new release.
Copyed over from TRC, the expanation for the movement
"the gen one is using ETA-A07111 movement and only two watch brands are now using this movement and this movement is not sold to third parties like ETA-2836-2, ETA-770 and other ETA movements. So we can only use A7750 to replicate this, at least I see they are observable same in major ways"
it makes sence, and makes me think about the IWC Big pilot as we were wondering if the valranges ETA-A07111 was being copyed to run in the IWCBP. This one factory is not involved or they may have delayed release of this one untill the movement was ready. I still think that we will see the IWCBP with a modded 7750 ticking away inside it, can our experts confirm if a power reserve can be fitted to a 7750?
I know what the post above says but now we see the centre seconds on a 7750 so that is a step closer so just the PR and the date wheel, oh and also an attempt at increasing the PR of the standard 7750 from 2 days upwards.

I will post this bit also in the Big pilot thread as well.

Just be carefull when using nail polish remover as it can make a right mess of printed or painted parts.

Welcome, you will like it here, it can be busy but it is great.

My biggest problem is with the back button...
i second that
-
no one is bidding yet but i will report it when they do, i have asked the seller to quantfiy its authentisity but not got an answer yet, just look at the box as well, i have a couple of those i got in cyprus with my first reps.
-
Like he said, Panerai!
-
I like it but would be looking for a proper strap for it withthe screws all the way through or sew one on, also i think that the movement is one with the plates stuck on, dont worry about it i have the raw russian bridges on show on mine and it is fine for me.

Albul?
The photo of the 2533 is from Davidsen...John H.
Sorry Album

They look good, if you like it go for it, also the russian movements are slowly being phazed out by a lot of sellers, but i like them. Whos albul is that by the way

That's what the genuine uses.
I asked this on TRC but why does the gen use a 7750 based movement?

Thanks i took it with my phone Sony Ericsson K750i

The usual! Love it....
Which model is that??????????

I had cause to spend a few weeks living in a field recently and chose to wear my railmastwer for its timekeeping and luminosity, this is the first time i have worn a non quartz for my agresive camping trips due to a few seconds a day being costly, but this one works just fine, i knew it lost 3 sec a day at that point so could account for it (now got it to plus 1, perfect in my view) here is it havong peek at what i was watching.
I would say it fitted the bill perfectly for what i was doing, i just wish it had a date some times.
-
Out of shame as i had not worn it for a while and Ubi made me think about it
-
here is a crap shot, it looks greyer but you cant see the patchines of it
i like it and it makes me thank PT every time i look at it.
-
Ouch. If the lotion left that kind of finish on a painted dial, imagine what it's doing to your skin!!
The clinique was fine just slow it was the nail varnish that did the damage, i still put it back together and use it as a learning experience, and i even still wear it as it was won on PTs raffle right after joined the boards so has a sort of sentimental value for me.
In fact ubi thanks for the prompt i think i will give it a bit of wrist time.

I did it by accident while trying to remove glue residue on a marina militare dial using clinique clarifying lotion, it removed the varnish from the dial face leaving a dull matt finish that looked a bit older than before, and a bit greyer, it was not removing the glue fast enough so i tried nail varnish romover and found that a bit to harsh and oops!, if i ahd had more patience it would have looked better.
