Yes, strange trick of the light.

spooooooky!

Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm the half-wit who sent his money to China and then started reading this group.

I expect to be in the "worst thing I ever bought" thread in about two weeks.

Meantime, looks like I've got some reading to do.

Pete.

Don't be too hard on yourself - at least 50% of us (probably much more) have done the exact same thing. Welcome to the group - make yourself at home and have a good read; there's a LOT of useful stuff on here

cheers GR

Thats a cracker, does the internal bezel work? is it auto or quartz have you taken it to water

I think that looks great

st4

Yep, the bezel works - the upper crown adjusts it. It's auto ('Asian ETA' 28,800bph as I said in my original post - there's a 21J version around too). I've not tried to use it in water, though - although it's survived usual handwashing etc without signs of misting up.

Love the watch - it's my 'weekend' watch usually - doesn't look quite right at work, somehow

hahaha - I wish it WAS the 10th. Friday. Yaaay

Real nice IWC ya got there....

I was just about to say how nice it was.... but what happened to the subdial hands in the last pic?

btw i am starting to fooking really hate opening links to that vomit bucket of a watch greg+alpha

hahaha, then my job here is done

Okay, here's mine...

'Clone' ETA 28,800bph, excellent rubber strap. Downsides are no AR and feeble lume. Got it via a friend who does business in China - not seen this exact model on any of the regular dealers' sites, though - although the 21J version is fairly easy to find.

Well, they're pretending to be Perfect Clones (Josh), which sets alarm bells ringing immediately. Just take look at the top left corner of the site.

Scammer for sure.

Do yourself a favour - stick to the recommended dealers on here and the other boards (check the links section as well as the dealer subforums). You'll save yourself a lot of grief.

If it looks too good to be true, trust me, it is...

please post pics of any other bond omegas

Here's a good one

So how is this one,any good?...

OMG. Dave bought a Rollie

*faints dead away*

Looks pretty good, mate - not perfect, for sure, but not at all shabby. I'm almost tempted myself....

i'm really enjoying having all the RWG1 guys around -- makes for some good entertainment

deltatahoe

You should see us when we're at home!

Home is home, and I want it back.

Amen.

Greg, I paid 400 yuan (it's about $60) for BOTH watches...I bet you'd do the same, even with fancy Glashutte, wouldn't you?

hmm - no, but I'd have happily paid $30 for the Omega

The Omega looks pretty darned good for $60. Not entirely accurate, true, but it certainly captures the style of the gen - has a real 'vintage' feel about it. Nice going!

Wish I could say the same for the Glashutte... not one of your better finds IMO...

You three back to the Loony Bin!

*wanders off sheepishly*

Yessir...

I'd like one of these:

Nooooooo, watch the Onze video - it is the BEST:

and that's the one I'd have posted if I had a copy of the RWG1 database like you do........

Watch 'em both - you can't have too many tourbys. There's an interesting video of the Panerai tourby out there too if I could only find it again...

By the way, Oscar - this is, I think, what the rep is trying to look like:

There are some similarities, but they got the whole thing upside down....

John owns the complete fscking database of RWG1, what are we doing here?

ROFL! Yeah, it certainly looks like it.

whats the difference between fake and real tourby ?

yeah yeah i know i am thick

The fake tourby is just an exposed balance wheel.

Here's a video of a real tourbillon movement:

I HAVE to buy one some day soon - the chinese tourby movement is extraordinary value and a real work of art....

Looks like a scam site to me - the description is bogus and the photo looks to be a gen (actually, I don't think there is a rep of this watch). If you get a watch at all, it won't be what you thought you were buying....

Stick to the recommended dealers. If you can't find what you want, try emailing one of the major dealers (Josh, Eurotimez, Ruby, Andrew) to see if they can find it for you. Chances are, however, if they can't find it for you, it doesn't exist.

when we get back to RWG 1 i think we need to all exchange email addys so we never get lost again

Yep - that's probably a good idea.

Hopefully, although Bluehost are still going to be crap, a newer, more efficient version of Invision PB (the old version we've been using is very resource-heavy) will get us set up for some considerable time. If Blade will then co-operate and allow us to contribute (hell, even appoint a co-admin), then maybe we can keep the place going for a while without this kinda thing happening again.

Aha... and JB knows how to get hold of Blade... but nobody knows how to get hold of any of these two...

JB has an account over on RWI.
