  1. Wow.. Looking at the photos, that is one of the slimmest case back I've seen for a rep SMP... The photos however looks suspicious.. It could be a gen in the photos..
  2. I'm a James Bond fan too and seeing your work.. Wow, that's just fantastic!!! You should have or maybe build the Omega Seamaster with the bright light up illuminating face that was used in The World Is Not Enough...
  3. Such a pity that the rep UPO has the wrong feet on the Omega logo.. To a sharp eyed person and for those that know the details on the gen, that wrong logo would give the watch away as a rep...
  4. I'm pretty happy with the current SMP rep case.. The case back may not be as slim as the gen, but it still works well on the wrist and it still feels comfortable too..
  5. I have just ordered the bezel insert from the seller at ebay! Will be at an ease of mind knowing I will have a spare insert in case the one on the watch falls off and I lose it.. I just hope it would never come to that so I won't have to use the spare...
  6. Well said! I have a gen SMP.. But I'm also saving up to get the gen SMP Co-Axial.. Just not into getting a gen PO although I am getting a rep PO but that's that.. A gen SMP most definitely! Plus, for some reason, I went to my local Omega boutique and was told that the gen SMP is also slightly cheaper than the gen PO... Not sure why as both have the same Co-Axial movement..
  7. Just go get the 42mm gen if you have the $$$ dude Anyway, Craig wore the huge 45mm PO (w/ rubber strap) in Casino Royale.. But converted to a 42mm PO (with SS bracelet) in Quantum.. I think the huge 45mm PO with the rubber strap looks really good for active wear in sports, swimming etc.. Easier said, suited for informal casual dressing occasions. Don't think it goes well with a business suit.. And its not something you would want to wear for a formal dress occasion.. The 41mm SMP is my definite choice for a formal dress occasion and for us wearing business suits.. Actually, come to think about it, the SMP actually goes well for informal and formal occasions unlike the 45mm PO..
  8. RobbieG those photos are poison!!! I'm getting a 45mm rep version of your gen 42mm in the photo with the rubber strap.. >>> http://www.joshwatch.com/omse01004-planet-...242-p-4220.html Can't wait to get it! Getting a rep coz I just don't have the $$$ to spend on a gen PO... But I am saving for a gen SMP Co-Axial The PO looks so good with the rubber strap!
  9. I think there already was a 42mm PO rep made similar to the one in Quantum Of Solace... >>> http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=19919&hl= I still prefer the 45mm PO with rubber strap from Casino Royale.. Getting a rep of it soon but in a dilemma as I don't know which dealer to get it from... Its either Ruby or Joshua..... Any help on which dealer I should get from would be appreciated
  10. This is very useful. But I usually get my Omega catalogs from my local Omega boutique. Recently got the 2008 catalog from them..
  11. So Ukmerctechie, you bought the bezel insert from that seller at Ebay, how did you fix it to your bezel? Did it require any glue and did you have to sand anything off from behind so it will fit?
  12. Looks good! I plan on getting the insert from that seller at ebay too... Actually I found this seller first and then I found out that Josh at Perfect Clones has the insert at US$28 for 2.. So I got it from him seeing as it was a good deal. But then I regret getting the inserts from Josh in the end as his inserts doesn't come with the pearl.... According to the seller at ebay, he states that no glue is required to attach the insert. Is this true? How did you attach yours to the bezel?
  13. I got it from Sinowatch. As far as I can tell, the only difference is the pearl on the bezel. According to some users here, the pearl on mine looks very close to the gen..
  14. Yeah, but the problem is that some of the spare bezel inserts does not come with a pearl...
  15. My worst fear has come true to a fellow user in this forum... I've been fearing this would happen to my SMP too... Missing the insert after finding out it fell off.. I don't want the same thing to happen to mine.. Oh no Damn, I'm really sorry about your bezel insert edgematic. You can get a spare insert from Perfect Clones, email them and ask but I don't think it will have a pearl. Again, ask Josh if it comes with the pearl. I bought 2 spare bezel insert for my SMP from them recently, both were without the pearl. Either way, as a last resort, you can just fix the replacement insert with or without a pearl if you are not into DIY... Then again, it is hardly noticeable without a pearl... right??? Hmmm.. I plan on doing the same if it were to happen to mine too... I'm not a DIY kind of guy.. Hardly noticeable without a pearl.. I think.. Only a dark hole where the pearl will be.. Wonder what other users here will say abt that.. Would it be noticeable without a pearl?
  16. Where do you think I purchased my beautiful Omega SMP from? I purchased it direct from Sinowatches.com! The website's mode of payment is by Western Union, and it was no doubt that it will be my first and only transaction with Western Union. Only after I made payment to them did I find out about scams through that payment method. So I felt very insecure the whole time after I made payment to Sinowatch coz I feared that I might never receive the watch. Even though I was able to track the package, I still feared the worst. But my fears were put to rest when the watch arrived at my doorstep within 3 days after I had made payment.. Watch was in excellent and brand new condition (as you can see in my signature image below).. But I don't think I want to purchase from them anymore even though my order with them was pretty smooth unless they change their payment method. So if you want to purchase from them and pay with Western Union, do so at your own risk! I'm getting my watches from Perfect Clones from now on...
  17. As a matter of fact it does! I wouldn't call it a doll, its actually a statue made of polystone, about 18 inches in height.. So yeah, the statue comes with its own little Seamaster, not really as detailed, but its there... >>>
  18. I have that too. But I can't be bothered to take a photo of it as it has the wrong colored dial and bezel insert. Even the fonts on the insert is wrong. And the red tipped needle on the second hand is too short.
  19. Here they are in the chronological order of their release.... >>>> The one that started it all. It was actually to commemorate James Bond's 40th Anniversary in 2002 with Die Another Day >>> 2537.80.00 And then for Casino Royale in 2006 >>> 2226.80.00 2907.50.91 And the limited edition ones for Quantum Of Solace.. No replicas of these recent models yet >>>> 212.30.41.20.01.001 222.30.46.20.01.001 I see the pattern with Omega now.. Since 2002, with every James Bond movie that is released, they will almost surely market it with a limited edition 007 watch... Marketing at its best...
  20. If I had the chance to get a gen Omega, I would definitely go for the SMP Co-Axial. Its classic and it shows pure luxury in its own way.. I'm actually saving up to get it.. For the PO with rubber straps, I think I will only get a rep of that one.. Anyway JBond, have you bought your gen Omega yet?
  21. The seller even described it saying that he bought it in 2002... So not true as this limited edition dial was only released in 2006... Plus, he stated the model/ref number as 2531.80, which obvious is not the correct ref number... And amazingly, blinded bidders still went ahead and bid on it and there was a winner.. Oh boy..
  22. Looks good... Sorry to bring out an old topic.. What is the ref number of this SMP Bond Black Dial? The blue one was 2531.80.. What is the ref number for this one?
  23. I saw this on ebay a couple of days ago. Wanted to get it from him but for some apparent reason, he can't ship to Singapore.... Darn it...
  24. Looks ok.. Close, but its not really accurate to the gen 2220.80. This is the first I've seen of a rep SMP Co-Axial... As you mentioned, the Omega words should be raised as well just like the logo and the lume marker at the 3'o clock date looks like it has a different shade of green compared to the rest of the lume markers... It can be made better I'm sure. Only time will tell, no pun intended.. Hope those rep makers out there will get it right soon coz this one does not look very convincing.. And the pearl can be improved too..
