Inspiring. I was thinking of building a FAT Lady, but might do a similar one-off. So often we go for detailed replication, when something like this actually has more presence and character. I dare say that watch has a soul. Fantasy is good.

Notice there are no shots of the HEV side of the case...

This is a good thread, especially to discuss The Kingston AND Clones. If you bad mouth or ask general mkii question on WUS your post will be deleted or get you on the BAN watch list. Anyone else on the list for a Kingston?

I say GOOD. I really hope the market is flooded with these things, and that they continue to improve. I am blown away by the absurdity of what people are selling/buying so called gen vintage bracelets, that are junk. This is one area where being a "Purist", especially from a franken perspective makes no sense to me. YMMV..... If I owned a GEN DRSD for example, that was worn daily, I sure as hell would not put an old, rattly, stretched out, ready to break 9315 or 7836 on it. Bring on quality aftermarket clones/reps and their acceptance!!!! Just price them accordingly.

Another one joins the club.

I am pro-iPhone, but this was great! I wonder if she wants a Bad Ass Seiko Monster to go with the iPhone:

OK.... HERE IS THE PLAN. Saturday, February 12th 2:30 PM - 5:00 or later We need to shoot for 15 or so people so PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR Significant other or Watch interested friend. Ubiquitous and I will be there. PLEASE PM ME to RSVP and for location details.

I agree about the forum there and pretty much stay away. I too am general order. Have you figured out his crazy order/support system? It drives me crazy, there are days I feel like my order is lost between the couch cushions... Sigh....

GREAT INFO! I had a gut feeling the crown was 6.00 Actually... I think I have a case lined up, and am working OUTWARDS from the case. Thus the dial/crystal questions.... So I can use a 16760 OR 16710 dial... Still looking for actual diameter of dial.... ??? The case I might be getting is an aftermarket 16600 minus the HEV... Like to pre-plan and make sure dimensions are correct before dial/movement investment. It will be a total one off if I pull it off...

y Galore....

meh, nah.... (I am still patiently waiting on my Kingston from Bill...) The crown on that thing is hideous, and the logo is way too big... Not for me...

Yep, I have seen those links above. Still need the more technical info. Crystal PN:, Dial Diameter... Thanks,

Cool. Thanks. Where did you find the Crystal info. Is there a "Reference Guide" out there somewhere? I thought the dial size may be more in line with a Sub or SD, but could be wrong. Probably in the 26.5 range??? 1675 are 27.3... Do ALL GMTs use 5.3mm? TIA.

I am having poor luck searching, so if anyone can assist with these questions, please do. Crystal Part Number = ? Dial Diameter = ? Crown Size/Part = ? Hand Stack = H/24/M/S Correct? Springbars = Same as Submariner 2mm ??? Y/N? Thanks in advance GMT Guru's....

I think at the end of the day, eBay likes to collect "their cut" of ANY sale. At the end of the day, unless some LARGER number of people report, -or- and actual Omega or Industry watch-dog (no pun inteded) group step in, these slip thru the cracks, and eBay and PP take their CUT...

Just took this off, but after seeing your GMT, I think I will wear this again for Wed.

I have it, and to-date I have only been able to use it successfully with loud ticking Pocket Watches! To use it with modern watches you will really need to research and seek out an appropriate microphone. Problem is most of the phone microphones have some sort of noise cancelling which defeats it.

Did someone say ingod rail dial?

Nice job T. I have a 1/4 of my back done, and am going for a full back piece. Then possibly half sleeves. (Job/Career dictate hide-ability, at least for now). As far as Girls and Tats. I used to DJ in the Goth/Industrial scene for many years, and have come to enjoy a quality ink'd "Alternative" girl. IMHO, girls should go all or nothing. The solitary rose, or other seemingly random $hit, just don't do it for me personally. YMMV.

Look at that shine!
