  1. Thanks for the recommendation! I just contacted him, so hopefully he will get back to me soon.
  2. I just found that the bracelet was made for Breitling B-1. The serial number may mean it's made in 1999
  3. Thanks guys for the reply! The curvature is opposite on a steel fish as on a skyland. The one I just bought looked like there was a little bit curve on the end link. Shoot... so it's probably not going to fit. Well, I'll have to find a pair of ends then. Any thoughts where I can find them? I contacted Trusty, but since I didn't buy the watch from him, he won't sell any
  4. I found this on the bay. I don't know if it's genuine or not. Any thoughts? What seems weird to me is that the complete watch is posted. Thanks! My link
  5. The lug width is indeed 22mm, but I am more worried about the arch of the end piece, whether or not it's the same as the Skyland.
  6. Here are some more pictures. It's advertised as gen, so I hope it's gen. If it's not, please let me know.
  7. Guys, I just purchased this bracelet in a pretty deal. Do you think this will fit nicely onto my Breitling Skyland rep? The downside is that it only has one end piece, so I will have to look for the other one. The bracelet seems to be gen, so if it fits, I'll be super excited. Thanks!
  8. Guys, Does this look right on a genuine Chrono Avenger Titanium? The letter seems awefully light to me. HERE
  9. Speaking of bezel, will a gen fit onto a rep BCE?
  10. I think I might be wearing this - Vac custom homage.
  11. For some reason, I remember I have seen comparison post done by a member on the Pro II bracelet gen vs rep, but I just can't find it on the forum anywhere.
  12. Guys, Is there such thing (Pro I rep) exists in the first place? So far the ones I have seen are Pro II reps. I'm looking for a gen Pro I bracelet for my SOSF, and so far I found two for sale. For the price, I'd like to make sure it's gen before buying it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Cougaree
  13. Yep! Do you know if I need any new parts to fix it or?
  14. Hmm, never thought of that. Thanks for the tip! Maybe I should have the A7750 movt serviced instead. So far it still keeps excellent time, it's just that the date wheel doesn't automatically advance any more.
  15. Vac custom pam homage with Panatime "Loco Horse" strap.
  16. Hi there, Could someone tell me what the differences A7750 and ETA 7750 are? With the ETA movt, is the pushbutton easier to push in to get the chronograph started? Thanks! Cougaree
  17. This is my BK modified Noob. He replaced both hands and dial with WM9's I also had the original movt replaced with a gen Rado 2836 movt. I know there are quite few things wrong, but it's certainly a good looking watch!
  18. For some reason, I really think that it's quite possible when you buy either Omega or BK YM, you won't stop thinking about the other one, so for $1600, you may end up with both of them at the end. I recommend getting a BK YM first because there are less $$ involved and you might save $1000 if you find yourself liking it a lot.
  19. If you are a collector who appreciates the watch movements, then I'd say gen Seamaster is the way to go. I assuming you were referring to gen Seamaster Professional 300m. I don't think any ETA 2824 movement is better than Omega's own modified one. Have you had any Rolex reps? One thing a person has to get use to with Rolex is the magnifier on the crystal. It's one of those things you either like or hate. The other thing about Rolex YM is that its bezel rotate bidirectional. If you are the person likes the bezel to be centered (the arrow pointing to 12 o'clock) all the time, then you may find yourself constantly trying to adjust the bezel. Whereas with Omega, you won't have this issue. Omega has better watch resistance than BK YM. BK YM is about 4atm WR rating. On the other hand, gen Omega cost more. You can get one used for about $1000 vs $600 tops for a nice used BK YM. The dial of the BK YM looks awesome and the lume is about as bright as Omega in the dark.
  20. I like mine CP the way it is, although I had all my other 127s CP fixed. I wondered if your crystal was sapphire because there were actually two "models" of MM20 were made. The earlier ones with mineral crystal said to give less distortion (vitually none) of the dial than the later sapphire ones. With the sapphire crystal, the number "6" gets pretty distorted virtically. The crystal is more domed.
