  1. BB makes a great press as well. It's not you - it's the press - let me guess from India? JIm
  2. What with all the 42mm Planet Ocean posts going on I think it's time to repost the old comparison by ST. It clearly shows what is correct on both watches. http://www.bsodmike.com/pages/omega-planet...ex-sea-dweller/ If your watch looks like either one it's a gen or modded. Jim
  3. That is a great combination........and a nice touch on the casing pad. Jim
  4. Duh, I found him Speedracerlo. Message sent to him. Jim
  5. thanks for the leads - I can't seem to find Speedario on Rep Geek? Jim
  6. I've got a Hamilton Diver with 20mm lugs and I can't find a comfortable strap. I've tried padded, rally, and diver, and nothing is soft enough to make the longer length comfortable. Suggestions please! Here's the watch:
  7. R, That is one beautiful watch and on my "wish list". If I could only sell the BP Fifty. Both bezels look great! Jim
  8. Thanks THD, I was hoping you'd ring in. Jim
  9. Does the Gen Seamaster Pro GMT and the 2254.50 have a flat crystal or a slight dome? Thanks, Jim
  10. Fantastic craftsmanship Rob! What is the ligne for the 921? Jim
  11. I really like the fuzzy numbers and the font on the date wheel.
  12. Here's a quick shot of the GMT I wore today. No mods other than mesh band. This watch badly needs AR.
  13. Well, I guess you can call it coincidence but here's another one from China. Gee, it kinda looks like the same presentation. This guy also sells hats. I wonder where all the cases went. I think I'll ask David. http://cgi.ebay.com.hk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...n%3D4%26ps%3D42
  14. The 2254 is one of my favorites and yours look great with the vintage look! Great work HD! Jim
  15. Robbie, Modded rep or Gen in your photo? Jim
  16. You're exactly right. This looks fishy. The watch photo is of a gen but the whole deal is looking like fraud. Thanks for the astute investigation. Jim
  17. Military Watch Resource for sport watches. Jim
  18. David feels its Gen and I now agree based on all the conversations. What a great way to verify details. Now where is that repped 3135? Jim
  19. And now I'm slow in answering - from your answers I will force fit a 22mm rep strap. I had the chance to compare a gen 22mm rubber strap with my rep 22mm strap and really can't see the difference. I assume all the rep 22mm rubber straps are the same, right? I can't get your link to load. watcheden Thanks, Jim
  20. Go with the correct case and crown. The case on the $118 will drive you nuts once you see at gen. Jim
  21. As an Accutron collector I suggest you buy a working 214 on the Bay and swap the movements. If there is no hum in yours the coils are gone. If it hums but doesn't move the index wheel is probably the culprit. Either way it's cheaper to do a swap. Have you seen the AstroView? The GMT hand is at the 10:
  22. It's the real thing. Six and Nine are open. A newer caseback, bezel is correct with the slightest flat top on the four. The one is a stick which was on the first generation of this case produced right after 165.014. They then went to a little left top on the one. Good fake inserts have fat numbers and a slightly larger triangle in the insert. The large triangle dial is rare without the military T but was available. Chuck Maddox and I discussed this a long time ago (RIP Chuck). Jim
  23. Real nice...... Seattle yesterday 23, today 33 so it can rain. I'm putting moss killer on my feet!
