you're lying buddy....

if the old closed factory 007 model was on offer....you wouldn't buy it? now come on.........i know where to tickle you...hehe

well the big problem is that the genuine SMP has pins instead of screws. So an AD would have just a hammer or pin remover to get it out - which of course only made the screws worse.

you may need to look at getting another bracelet if worse comes to worse $38 + shipping - trustytime.

take it to a watchmaker near you, most of them can do it for under $30

good luck

haha avitt.....you're the only one seeing the lighter side...hehehe

but you need to see the topics that this member has created, do a search and you'll understand that trying to be creative and equally effective is one thing, but consistently trying to cut corners in watchmaking will NOT work....i don't want topics like these to encourage other members in trying new ways instead of the old traditional way in watchmaking.

i'm sure Robert also shares the same view...

Even though The Zigmeister has been a little harsh with his post, i'm with him. Just because there are people on this board who mod their own watches does NOT mean you just go and try things out without proper tools.

I have broken parts with the correct tools - let alone use incorrect tools. Take it to a watchsmith to get it corrected properly.

Interestingly enough, you were also the one who posted a much of questions on how to fix issues with your watches - perhaps its time for you to either learn the trade properly or take it to a specialist - and stop posting guides like "how to glue spacers to dials" and asking if "putting old magazine papers in the watch to hold the movement into place" will work...jesus christ....

honestly, 2 part epoxy of the movement spacer/ring to the dial isn't the best way. Especially for some models where the movment spacer isn't suppose to touch the dial.

The main purpose of the movement ring is to keep the movement in place in the watch case - that is also why they use case clamps and screws.

1. the dial should be secured either by its original feet or by double-sided tape (glue gets messy and may cause frictional problems if not careful)

2. movement spacer should be secured by case clamps and screws.

thats how someone should approach buying! very good write up - covered much everything - EXCEPT - that the hand stack has been replicated. Some of the dealers carry the correct hand stack.

and yes....the wife constantly reminder would be death....

you gotta be kidding dude....

the blue dial 25318000 bond Omega seamaster is the most talked about replica on this board. Almost all of the dealers carry it.

don't look too hard mate...its everywhere

=)

Possibly a bit too forward and brash for someone with such a low post-count?

You might want to send this to Omega & Rolex if it's wrong (considering they invented the HEV in 1954), because most of this came from my gen's instruction manual...

As much as we appreciate this insightful information Gio, looking down on someone due to their post-count is very obnoxious. Lets see why he feels the information may be wrong - its a forum afterall.

omega is definitely genuine. [censored] if i know about the Sub though

very nice!!

do look after them.

well...i'm thinking you are aftet his symbol?

This is found on the older SMPs but i think it may also be the same for POs

For example, when a woman is ovulating she will prefer a man with rugged, masculine features.

true....learnt it in psychology!

now can we please change the title....

thank you.

wear it well!

fight fight fight fight!

haha....i guess Tourb is trying to question people who do sell their watches after modification.

I mean, if i was to mod a watch so heavily, it will most likely be with me for a very very long time. Some of the members sell their heavily modded watches after 2 months - that i can understand to be questionable....but then again, whatever floats your boat right?

if anybody will ask you: "hey nice watch it is genuine"... you will told him: "no it´s a rep, but cannion pin fixed by repaustria, superlumed hands by finepics, jimmy fu crown guard... bla bla bla" ????

hahahaha....

"so its a fake then?"

"yeah....but ...but..."

haha good one!

wow thats awesome!

way better than The Zigmeister can ever do!

:S

great buy!

maybe.....change the title of this thread? since u didnt get scammed...hehe

yeah genuine just uses the ETA 2824 movement stamped with caliber 5.

this is very close to the genuine, not my taste though.

good find!

thats a nice look Harry.

totally different to the bracelet. I like =)

close but not quite there i dont think. the hands are different and the 5 min markers

I did say "similar" not same.

but trust me, i see alot of those kind of ebay from time to time.

look on ebay - they are found pretty commonly.

type in "vintage diver" into the search and you will find this watch, this following example is similer.

wow!

that is reallly impressive! especially with the genuine movement!

wear it well!

wow that is really bad huh.....720 pounds......

WOW! that is awesome! well stolen! haha

just one question, isn't that a relative modern movement for that old vintage watch? I have seen these bond subs with another rolex in it....correct me if i'm wrong...

=)
