Royal Mail have never asked me for ID, either here in Brighton or at my other address in London. Just show your little attempted delivery card and you get the package.
Any perticular dealer revealed the coming of this new SMP? I'm starting to think that because you can get them for under 1k gen. I might just buy the real deal instead of waiting for a perfect rep.
Hont has these on display on his site. It's still worth something even if you just use it for its case. A great hybrid SMP can be had if you combine pieces with say Silix's Omega. That's if the case is 1:1.
I posted this here because I've never heard of anyone mentioning this version before, even though everyone's main concern with SMPs is the HE valve and crown guards being incorrect. This one has those two flaws corrected, yet never any mention.
What model SMP is this? Closed factory? Other? It has correct HE valve posirion and crown guards but the pearl is horrible and other details (well I'm not too sure). I remember seeing that the closed factory was accurate in every detail.
This is two pictures from two different sources of the same watch model.
If the dealers says this is in the works my best guess is they're redoing the SMP because they're replicating the new black one Omega launched. Which is good cos the only difference is the dial and bezel colour, which isn't a big deal, so they can do both blue and black versions.
It's a hard one to call. Cos they could just replace the dial and bezel and be done with it.
And the crown guards are the least of my worries. The biggest tell is always the bloody HE valve.
