Nope, cant say as I have seen this model before. It is a Interesting design, I kind of like It. Mike

Im not that crazy about this model but to each his own and all that, now give me a Moonie with the proper sub dial spacing, now you got my attention

Im not a Rolex kind of guy but I would suggest this,hang out In the Rolex section. The members there eat, sleep and breath rolexs. This is also a great way to learn about reps/gens In general. To do your own research will make your purchase that much more rewarding/gratifying.good luck Mike

Thank you Mike, I just learend something new

Indeed, The Rolex Submariner Is the most recognized watch In the world. I think the Omega SeaMaster Is probably the second most recognized watch. It's hard to believe that both of these designs have been around for well over fifty years. There have been many designs that have come and gone but these two Icons are as popular as ever. Imo the classics never die and I think these two examples prove just that Mike (ps) On July 21 1969 at 2:56 GMT, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the surface of the moon. Five hundred million people heard his words broadcast on television: "thats one small step for man- one giant leap for mankind" Twenty minutes later, Armstrong's fellow crewmember from the Apollo 11 mission, Buz Aldren, became the first to wear a watch on the moon, when he stepped onto the lunar surface wearing an Omega Speedmaster professional. (Armstrong had left his own Speedmaster In the lunar module because the digital clock on board was damaged,and the astronauts did not want to run the risk of exposing both watches to the harsh environment of outer space.)(WatchTime 12/09)

Dude you have to stop reading my mind This case design Is out of this world, It went to the moon over 40yrs ago, did It not? One of my favorites of all time. Spot on bro

Indeed Fred put your feet up, just be carful not to scratch the furnuture. It may not be much be It's all we have, welcome

To be really honest, I think It's a beautiful watch. I love the orig Omega SM case design, classic

Im sorry to hear this but I have heard these horror stories before. It's a shame to spend thousands of dollars on a high end timepiece and IN Return get shity service, not exceptable It's true that reps dont have much In the way of CS but then again were not spending thousands on one watch. Thanks for sharing your experence with us Mike

Sorry I cant help you but I think I know someone who can. I sent them a pm to let them know about your dilemma. Hopefuly they will be here soon Mike

Thats right TeeJay, perception Is the key. The bottom line Is how you feel about the watch. If you like It and enjoy wearing It then you have the right watch for you and your needs. I dont think that most people could tell the difference between a $100 rep as opposed to a $300.00 rep. Thats why when I buy a rep, I buy that rep for my own personal satisfaction. When I first arrived here I would think about what others might think, would I get called out? the horror of It all lol. This honestly never enters my mind anymore, well almost never. Unless your hanging around a bunch of watch enthusiasts Its not going to happen. Some of the cheeper reps really look good, only under close scrutiny are they detectable. One of the reasons I love this hobby so much Is because there Is no wrong/right watch, not Imo anyway. If you have a watch, rep or gen, and you enjoy wearing It and working on It, then as far as Im concerned you have hit the mark. That mark Is a hobby that brings you fulfilment. I know for a fact that you and I are on the same page In this reguard

I have not noticed this type of behavior In any of my chronographs. I have heard of It but no pause In any of mine. It does not sound like a big deal to me, good luck Mike

This Is very true Tee Jay. But the better the movement the better the rep or gen as far as that go's. at least In some peoples mind. But again exception to every rule. Im wearing the UN maxie that you and I talked about a few weeks back, It has the 23 jewel thats a fantastic movement Imho. This watch can be found for around $150.00, you might find It cheeper on one of your discount sites. Now If this watch had a ETA It would probably be twice as much. Would having a ETA make It a better watch? Im not so sure The Asian 23 jewl movement Is a fantastic movement Imho. It has a decorated rotor/movement and a fully functional PR. The sweep is very smooth and It keeps excellent time. So would having the more expensive movement make It the better watch? Than there the materials used that can make a huge difference In price. Saphire vs mineral crystal, ceramic vs plastic, ect, quality of the overall fit and finish. But It;s true that the more expensive watch Is not always the better watch, not always but more times than not Imho. Preception plays a big part also. Mike

I try not to check on my package, but It's hard not to. Im waiting on a SA from Josh and I checked on It for the first time yesterday, 4/1/10. I orderd the watch on 3/29. It says Despatch from sorting center, Guangzhou. It should be here monday, I hope

Good job Matt. RWG Is much much more than Infomation. It's a community with a soul. I think your going to like It here Mike

But broham there so cheep looking, why would you want to put any money In them In the first place. I know what your saying Tee Jay but my experence has been that the better reps cost more, like most things In life. I know that this Is not always the case, exception to every rule and all that. I purchased a few cheeper reps and I really dont like to wear them. But Im sure there are some very good reps that are Inexpensive. Most times are opinions are based on are experences, It's all good my man Mike

+1 again

They seem to be on par with the other B01's, sunkin DW ect. Decent but not one of the best out there Imho.Im not really crazy about gold layering/plating. Im a ss kind of guy Mike

No offence but It's realy hard to see anything clearly But you have a gen SA and that Is awesome One of my all time favorites Mike

+1 I agree that the "cartel" label does not apply anymore

I totally dissagree Frank, although I do respect your opinion. I say you get much more than you pay for. Im talking about the "cream of the crop reps" not your average medicore reps. Although some of those are very good too. Im wearing my Breitling SA today thats so gen like It's scary, my watch repair guy agrees. The differences are all loupe stuff. This Is just one of many examples. I think these high end reps are the "best bang for the buck" that one could hope to find. To make matters even better most of my reps are keeping excellent time. Mike

I have also used Josh and Andrew @ Perfect Clones and Trustyguy respectively. They have been very good experences so far. They are both very good with returning messages promptly Mike

Could not happen to a nicer guy I wish you well Tee Jay, you have a great attitude and thats what will get you and yours through the tough times. Also a big up to the mod squad Mike

That thing Is the
