Don't the dealers guarantee the SuperOcean will withstand depths of 100m ? I think that one has a 5mm thick crystal, so it's probably the one that's best suited for diving, of all the reps?

You're making me wanna start this... I gotta stick to blackjack

Is it possible to PVD a bezel like this, but leave the silver parts as they are ?

He's been registered over a year... can't be a newbie any more. I understand the need to show off your new toy(s), but probably best to show them off to fellow rep afficionados on here, than rub it in the noses of those who spend so much more on their genuines.

Can you PVD a PAM bracelet if it's all taken apart for the PAM 028

From what I understand, from Mark's reply, he is saying he had to get 2 watches and make them into one, leaving the other one unsaleable, and that's why the price is high. That's what it looks like to me.

This thread has come up a few times over the past couple years... the ceramic Chanel J12 usually comes up. Quartz so she cannot forget to wind it up if necessary. Cartier is also usually popular with women. One for fun is the FM Crazy Color (sic) Dreams, with the multi-colours. Usually something small and not weighty, but looks good, does the trick.

I have both (good versions). As the good version of the Breitling is no longer made, go for the IWC with metal strap as well as the nylon strap so you have the option to change. The IWC is one of my favourites.

PAM187 AP ROO Hublot Big Bang We know these are really girlie watches... honourable mention goes to the PAM127.

The world is not enough.

River has more ... just ask him. I really like his skeleton tourbillon, but that's over $1000. Narikaa has tourbillons as well.

The GMT hand only jumps on the inferior ETA 2893 system. Rolex and Omega utilize independent adjustment of the hour hand, which is far superior if you are travelling (and I have made use of it in the past, so much better!).

I don't know if this is true for this brand, but I'd always assumed that Omega uses the same system. The only way to improve this is to have another crown position to adjust the date independently... so 4 positions (winding, time zone set, time set, and additional date set). I know how it works in the genuine Omega: To independently set the hour hand, pull out the crown to the date-set position. Rotating the crown up or down will move the hour hand clockwise or anti-clockwise (depending on which way you turn the crown - necessary for when you go "backwards" from say New York City to Hawaii/Lanikai for example). In this adjustment position, the minutes and seconds continue to tick away as if nothing has happened, which means you can seamlessly go from one time zone to another (unlike the ETA 2893 which requires that you view the GMT hand as the current time, unless you re-set the watch, not very convenient is it ?) To change the date, you have to advance the hour hand to midnight. This can become monotonous as to change from one day to the next requires a complete 24 hour cycle with the hour hand. Luckily, on the genuine, this is pretty quick-ish. To adjust the "GMT" hand, you have to go to the usual timeset position and adjust the minutes as per usual. This should also "hack" the movement and the GMT hand will move as you advance or reverse the minute hand. Hope this helps!

Not with that movement no, I'll stick to my Omegas I have a vintage MBW SD (never worn), Two Tone MBW Serti Dial Sub, and a PT YachtMaster (as well as assortment .... all bought a while ago... and I don't find myself wearing them... I guess I got into reps via this brand and then grew onto other brands that I tend to prefer now.

LOL Obviously I meant a gf that would get me watches like that

Wish I could find a girlfriend like that.... well gotta find a gf first

I was looking for pictures of the side of the Hublot SS Tuiga and came across this site that lists famous people and their watches. The Prince of Monaco wears the Tuiga (and why it came up in my search). By the way, the page is in Spanish. You may want to use google translate, but it's pretty obvious.

Unlucky there... next time you'll win that hand Speaking of poker, where did everyone learn.. and where did they learn to become good at it?

Viola? What a stunning cameo in the World Cup final in 1994, and indeed he was gone after that, never to be heard of again. Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

I had this same problem with a genuine Omega after a service... gonna go to the Omega Boutique this weekend to get it looked at. Good luck solving the problem!

a few things: -should the flags be on the side? -does the genuine (SS) come in CF dial or smooth dial? I've seen dealers with both.

Interesting crown for this Radiomir Not sure about the strap.. I still like the BCE on the bracelet.. have to try on the genuine rubber sometime too. Hornback style seems to be the in-strap on the forum at the moment
