Here is a part of my collection.. one watch at a time.. there are those that are considered "Super reps" some are "Frankens"..meaning they hold genuine dials and parts.. others are "heavily modded" meaning relumed with various genuine parts.. but for .. myself.. to call a watch a Z"Franken" it must have a genuine dial.. the UPO second from the right at the bottom is a franken with genuine dial, crystal and crown.. a must have or if you prefer a smaller size the 42mm PO .. this is a 45mm UPO.. Second from the left (bottom) is my 7032 Tudor a little pricey but and with a dial flaw but genuine movement and crystal.. a grail watch for many.. Far left (bottom) the IWC line of Pilot's .. the Big Pilot is worth a look also.. The SMP chrono top left is a muct get.. this has been modded with chieftang AR coat (crystal) it makes the crystal invisible.gen. crown and tube.. second form left (top) is the Breitling blacksteel.. another super rep... this has a genuine eta movement and has been relumed to correct the uneven lume dots... and the hands have been repainted (red) to math the inner bezel red numerals.. The UN Maxi Marine.. the blue hue is the AR coat from factory next is the WM9 the "best" sub out now.. last on top is my 1655 project watch.. it took over a year to source all the correct parts for this one..

Speedy Vintage Red ~

this is the 'date' model.. Joshua's site has the 'solid' case back.. not the 'display' back .. I don't know which you are referring to MM .. this is the genuine.. pretty much spot on.. imo

It all may be a moot point.. but Monday is a Federal Holiday me thinks Thanks to Chris.. of Kris or however you call "Columbus.. Dis cover's Day" .. So if I were you I would just tell your beloved.. not to worry about it cause you aren't .. oops just read the last line on your post-ho AC Lani

The case back is jus as good !!

it's the AR in the light that makes mine appear blueish.. there is a little more brown than red in this shade of black than other Omega dials though.. it is a wicked rep though !!!! hk makes some awesome gator straps for these...if you ever want to change it up..

A good example of 2 wrongs don't make a right perhaps.. the History of "America" can be one of Pride and Shame.. We were the last Country to abolish slavery .. we were the first and only to use the Atom bomb in Anger... yet we are a Democracy with so called equal rights for all.. good in theory.. but it is My country too and I am proud to be here.. The only thing that we can do representing the 'World' is Educate our Children .. give them love and "teach" them that all men are created equal.. I am fortunate that I grew up in Hawaii where all ethnic groups grew up as "local" ... I had best friends of all races .. I attended a lot of different Church services with friends of different cultures .. it wasn't until I went away that I experienced any type of racial slurs or actions.. So I had optimum surroundings for "learning" that we are all the same.. some smarter than others was the only difference...

Hey D.. My message center is accepting (?) it was on the blink awhile ago.. but seems to be ok now.. please re-register for the tickets.. I don't recall you name on the list I verified.. sorry for the trouble.. please re-register and chime in on the raffle thread.. thank you so much for your support of Our forum.. AC Lani

Part of my College education was in Oregon.. back in the day a very conservative State.. WE (from Hawaii that looked different) were always followed by employees in stores etc... it really didn't bother us as we really felt we were in "foreign" land.. My sociology Prof. used to state that society will never understand discrimination unless the group that practices it the most go through the same thing themselves... back then that was a very sensative subject...and he was very avaunt guard in his theory..but it makes sense to me.. I experienced more racist comments when I moved to Washington State.. Ethnics groups that have been discriminated against band together... makes sense to me.. But remember All Americans .. save for the "Native Americans" are immigrants .. and to put it bluntly this country was based on discrimination(from the Latin crimin or criminal), even though the founders were escaping discrimination themselves .. but it really comes down to Education.. the uneducated of the Country are raised with a set of norms that are indelibly ingrained into their psyche... if we are truly born tabularosa [sic] .. or as a blank slate ... all that we are is learned, other than hunger.. fear... etc. ... Each one of us ..imo .. are to some extent racist in nature... If I were to visit a Country and were mistreated because of my ethnic background.. I surely would feel animosity toward the ethnic group that governed that Country ... When angered many would revert to race instead of character.. each ethnic group has good and bad.. but we all use their race as reason at times.. a lack of understanding and compassion at times raises racial slurs.. it could be the fact that the States that founded slavery and fought for the South were Caucasian ... so the perception is that the race is stereotyped through past acts as racist, as was evident during the civil rights movement, or the internment and taking of land with the American Japananese population During WWII .. and as other ethnic groups have been stereotyped in other respects .... The Holocaust being the apex of any prejudice !! One should always be Proud of one's Heritage!!! no matter your ethnic background or Country.. it would be a far better World if we could all get along despite racial makeup .. but the reality is from the beginning of time it has been this way...Country.. Race.. Religion .. Education can only bring so much healing.. as it's what man doesn't understand that draws fear.. and fear of what one does not understand is the root for all actions.. imo..

we harp on that fact, but basically you have the givers and takers.. some are just takers.. human nature.. after all,.. the purpose of the upgrade is not to enter a secret club.. it's sole purpose is to support the forum .. in the past members would dig into their pockets for money to pay our usage... Admin used to pay out of his own pocket at times.. all the Mods would to.. the Admin team does not receive any monies from this forum.. it is solely for the purpose of our hobby and to keep the hobby safe for all here..
