Yep that whack job lived a couple blocks from me... Still remember her walking through the hall of highschool with her turtles trapper keeper and lunchbox.
Steelfish is a much bulkier model and doesnt have the sleek styling of the rounded crystal on the navitimer, I'm considering it since wifey stole my navitimer.
As for the model is the series speciale navitimer from joshua (but most dealers have it), natural 7750 configuration and date does not sit as low as other navitimer models.
Something is wacky, because the only reason the rep 063 had long has was because the 029 used the same handset and the long hands are correct on that model (because the gmt numbers are on the bezel not the dial).
The smp has been around for over 10 years, there are plently floating around with aftermarket parts (especially considering the price of omega's band)... A 60 serial number is a 90's production date.
I dont think he took it to any "watchmaker". Most "watchmakers" can tell an asian 7750 from an eta, or at least realize it doesn't look quite right. I think he just said that to make himself not look like he was the only person that was fooled. I think A couple of the BCE's that have been posted in the last week are reps too, an awful lot of people have bought "gen" graphite dial BCE's in the last week.
He said it was the best rep ever made, but he was sending it back... His master watchmaker was fooled, and he was trained by patek. (Even the moderator said it looked good to him.)
Then they deleted the thread.
Start out with this treat i picked up from Dudro earlier in the week:
Followed by This bling I got from ruby this week (It's my daughters birthday so I might as well get blinged up):
There is also a big differance between wearing a rep into an ad and flaunting your rep at an ad... If your using your rep as a way to get preferential treatment or big stuffing your asking for trouble.
You should be able to paint the entire bezel then send off the color you dont want. The bezel looks more polished then the rest of the case on the gen (or at least the few shots I've seen on the web.)
