  1. Now that I've convinced my wife to get it for me for Christmas and the order is in process, I've decided to ask about it :bangin:

    Does it mimic the original in function accurately? Do you get any instructions with it? Are you happy with it?

    All comments and thoughts welcome

    Bought it from Silix.

    As you know I also ordered 1 from Silix. I also hope it mimic the original in function. BTW manual for the real thing is here http://home.xnet.com/~cmaddox/omega/manuals/X-33/X-33.html

  2. I guess when you don't worry...don't look worried....don't act worried... when it's just the most normal thing in the world... then most likely, nothing will happen.

    Well they picked me out and I did not act or looked worried. Customs here are really waiting for flights out of Bangkok etc. I think they picked me out because I was one of the first that had his luggage from the luggage link and passed "nothing to declare" as one of the first, while they were waiting for people to control. Next time I'll wait till a lot of people are going through "nothing to declare" and i will join the mass.

  3. 2 weeks ago I came back from Bangkok and customs picked me out to control. I was happy that I was so smart to travel with just a Seiko Monster on my wrist and did not buy a lot of fake stuff in BKK. In my suitcase there was just a (very cheap) rep Monaco Heuer they found. They looked at it, asked if I bought it there and let me go over the border with the watch.

    I was very happy that i did not bring 3 or 4 fake watches already on the outward flight and back.

  4. I think U-boat is a kind of fashion watch. Don't think the brand U-boat wil still exist in let say 15 years.

    U-boat watches were very popular last year here in Amsterdam. Now they're last years trend and nobody walks with it anymore. Like I said, a fashion watch.

  5. The only thing I question, is that the white border around the logo seems to be too thick.. The subidial@2 is a 1/10th seconds totalizer on the rep as well?

    white border around logo is indeed a tad too thick, also the hour markers are a little bit too short. subdial @ 2 is indeed for 1/10th seconds. I believe the rep has the same quartz as gen, i also like the saphire glass in the rep.

    BTW i just ordered the Omega X-33 :whistling:

  6. This one is a beauty. I normally would snap it up, but since the IWC Ingeniur chrono is now out, I'll probably go for that instead. It's a $6,000 watch. Timewalker is under three thousand. Silly reason for making a choice but.............

    I was at the AD today. Tried the timewalker chrono, really a wow beauty but... maybe a little bit too dressy and blingy for me. I would also snap the rep up in time but indeed too many choices at the moment. I also love the Ingy, Big Bang, VC Overseas, Royal Oak Offshore and I also want to buy a PAM 187. Damn... too many choices :g:

  7. Asian 7750's can be tempermental...one of my PAM's stopped last week and I had to take it to a local watchsmith for service. If you happen to have someone local that will work on reps, you should be fine...if not, it may be worth considering having the dealer service the movement before shipping.

    Just my $0.02.

    JF

    I have 2 watches with the asian 7750, both are running fine. I have not found a local watchsmith yet, but in case I think The Zigmeister can also service it. The only "real flaw" I see is that the date of this watch looks a little bit recessed to me
