yes, as posted in the review.. try wearing it so your pinky finger can fit between the clasp and your wrist.. then you won't have the discomfort.. the case will not wobble.. it is balanced and the hinges comform to your wrist nicely .. but it's Ok to resist ..

I still need to learn how to "computer enhance" the images.. right now they are, lighting focus and shoot.. so as I say .. stay humble, stay coachable.. the key to life IMO.. this hobby got me into the camera deal too..

Thank you M ... I feel Humbled .. coming from a veteran as yourself.... better lucky than good , I say.. seriously.. I will practice to keep "improving"... never be satisfied or get arrogant.. that would be the beggining of the end .. key to everything in ma book ... never be "satisfied and think you are that good" thanks again M 'L

make sure you use 2 screw drivers .. or you may find the one screw your turning.. very loose indeed... it's the first thing I do when going over the watch.. mine were tight.. if you don't use 2 drivers .. you may "think" they are loose

Resistance is futile "Young Jedi (mate)" .. give in to the dark side.. or just put it on your "to do list" FYI .. the black and Red is supposedly the most accurate.. the pic of the genuine I have posted is erroneous though as far as the colour of the subs.. more and more genuine brands are thowing "curves" .. but the day's of replicating from pics are "history" ..

It doubles as the "pushers" to open the clasp.. good attention to detail ma man..

ULYSSE NARDIN MARINE CHONOGRAPH Macro Pictorial Review Genuine ** I had planned for Robbie G to join in commentary , since he is more knowledgable on the UN than I,.. due to time constraints I will post this now and edit with his analysis when it is done.. thank you Lani This Replication IMO is very well made, from the machining to the assembly (clean) .. as far as reps go all details are crisp. the pic above is a result of the flash.. I rather liked it so I left it alone.. but the dial is definitely matte black Dia: 42 mm from the 9 to the 3 bezel to bezel. .. and 47 from the 9 to the crown Lugs: 22 mm 18 mm thick from case back to middle of crystal Crystal (flat) Double AR with sandwich mag Mag is AR'd Screw down crown ; Pushers @2 and 4 The dial is Matte.. again with what appears to be powder coating on then outer sub rings.. (seems a lot of timepieces are using this now) .. it gives the dial a rugged look on a very unique dial. The pushers feel good .. precise .. the movement of the chrono hand returning to the 12 feels "strict" and not "loose".. the bezel is nice and tight, with 60 clicks .. thumbs up on the ratcheting .. the black and red in the bezel is flat (colour) Screw down crown ... good threading .. The Strap is very impressive in that the featured part is to me anyway the hinged metal insert on the rubber strap... it allows the strap to conform to ones wrist.. it is very comfortable.. when cutting the strap leave room for adjusting during the summer months.. and I wear it a little loose as the metal clasp on the inside of the wrist can be troublesome if worn too tight.. the Official UN Web Site .. http://www.ulysse-nardin.com/watch.jsp?ID_...1_100003_10001Z Assorted images of the dial.. close up.. The Texture of the sub dial.. concentric rings , outer ring/ticks and blue marker Sandwich mag.. maybe this will give us a clue on the GMTIIC as far as the crystal and mag AR issue.. beveled date window and the font is nice and crisp.. 200M .. crisp font Mag Bezel ... Crown and Pushers. LE engraving Display Case Back Strap... Sexy Macho.. functional !! or Butch.. depending how ya Roll :roll eyes: The clasp has a slight play .. but not noticeable when on your wrist.. not a big deal and it does not seem that it will be prone to failure.. Lume .. may need a little more time out of the box.. 1/4 sec exposure In conclusion,.. I had not planned on this replication,.. I do not do these reviews to attempt to convince anyone to buy this rep. but I will say that it is extremely well done.. hope this "helps" you make a more informed decision if you are considering this rep. Thanks for viewing Aloha~Cheers Lani

Simply Awe-inspiring .. to think of Blue Ocean Currents.. Magnificant .. is the only word that could describe not only the colour but the Artist' work These incredible lume jobs are sort of getting to be "Par for the Course" for you Z. .. but of course it's the "Singer not the Song"

Wow, what a line up.. starting with Freddy and SD, RK,CC.. to DL.. all awesome peices to get over the hump .. Adding the 1655 back from up North..

thank you All for the kind words !! And yes Rob, you and J make a great team in more way's than one !! @Tribal,, I'm waiting on Stilty's datewheels I need to find a way to broach the Omega flight hands as TMG did to get them on this movement, that would be icing on the cake,.. along with the Date Wheel.. but I have it on and am truly enjoying it !! @poleplex... must have been the long day... why I coudn't link the acronym.. sheesh .. I got the 5517 hands, and the second hand for the 1655 from him .. @TMG.. a special thanks ma friend.. for all the time/commnication to help me through this.. thank you so much !! Aloha~Cheeers Lani

After I told Robbie I gotta get off the cell.. to attend to some business.. he said ,.. OK.. then started a new subject, and kept talking ... found out we have some mutual aquaintances.. from the "Old World Gym day's".. for another time.. those were wild times man... yeah.. gotta conference on skype.. as soon as I get ma head set right.. .. but, I'll give you a clue how to get your 'time" in.. gotta wait for robbie to take a "breath".. then just cut in and start talking "fast".. before he has a chance to start up again.. Ok gotta crash.. take it away Robbie... @Mahler.. all ma reps are going to be thrown out to sea with ma ashes..

Great !!.. get um posted.. I can enjoy the games ...

yup,, outta the chair into bed.. I'll try to shoot some pics tomorrow.. but this is on par with the SOSF rep.. "solid" Cheers L

Ok.. .. while I was in .. (where else) .. Lanikai.. whist talking on ma cell with Robbie.. first he tells me he went to the ":mall" to go to Emergency.. WTF.. the "Mall" ?? shit brah.. I know florida is all glitz and bling.. but the "Mall" .. anyway.. OK.. I found Robbie quite comical in being surprised that they wanted to admit him to the Hospital .. .. I mean wada go to the emergency room for.. "entertainment" .. (remembering this is in a strip mall) .. but this being "Our Robie" .. I figured it's about par for his course.. that the hospital was the last thing he would think was a "Possibility" .. sheesh.. .. Your talking,.. Chest pains... hard time breathing.. and the clincher.. sore jaw muscles.. Ok.. but what really got me .. he said ,.. (as a matter of factly .. like talking about going to the store for a bottle of milk).. {very low inflection, with lack of enthusiasm} .. oh yeah, I'm getting married this year .... no note of excitement.. very monotone actually.. I then "advised" young Robbie .. "Ma Man, I hope you sound more excited when you say that to others "live",.. cause to me it sounds like the next thing I'm gonna hear is the .. Death March form Star Wars .... you know robbie is usually "Full of verbage".. so I cracked up with his lack of "sound" Needless to say the last thing that got ma stomach muscles cramping .. he say's .. this is the first girl that doesen't "persecute me".. persecute.. is a word robbie that is synonymous with prosecute .. sheesh .. try another verb .. like "take away ma identity"... sounds better brah.. anyway .. we need to "Hep" this brotha to get a little more excited about his upcoming marriage .. I am not in the position to advise on "marriage" .. divorce yes.. anyway.. I told Robbie.. he needs to "practice in the mirror" practice telling people with excitement.. OK.. nuff .. what takes 2 minutes to say.. takes me foeva to write.. Pau..

that sounds great pp !!! I learned a lot about putting together parts.. Ziggy was extremely patient .. to say the least !!.. so from the mistakes I made sourcing the parts .. I hope that will be a lesson.. it was a costly one.. but sometimes we learn (hopefully) by our mistakes.. btw.. what and who is CWP ?? ..oh,oh .. here we go again.. Edit add: .. sorry... "thank you" pp..

Great Talking with ya this AM Robbie.. But I need to state how ya really took this deal lightly.. OK ?? You go to the EMS in "the mall" to save time.. .. then are shocked when they tell you , you have to get to the Hospital IMMEDIATELY !!! Like .. your saying WHY? .. DOH .. they even had a bed ready and waiting for ya.. You went to the Mall EMS.. so it wouldn't interrupt your shopping ?? .. dude .. your life was .. Maybe .. on the line.. and your to busy ?? anyway.. good to hear you "live and in Person" .. it made ma morning.. so the big Q is ... are you going to "Man UP" and tell the boyz what I think your really stressing about .. although your "Heart" may be congenital ... I think the "move" you are about to make may have something to do with it.. Common Bull ... fess up and tell you "Family" what is going to happen... and please do it with enthusiasm ... up to you brah.. or I could tell um..NAH.. Up to you

You "knew" I was going to get the yellow ..... because I POSTED as much... ... your too young to know the lyrics that rhack1 posted though.. thanks Tt ~

Dani if anyone should be J'd it should be us.. ya got genuines .. and the best revenge is your YOUNG !!! so Time is definately on your side !!

Thank you Tt ... This is a case that Joshua had another dealer send me.. but he got the thicker font bezel/case for me last week.. Gen Crystal .. I recently got another for the second case Ziggy everything .. Gen. Crown and Tube.. Now I am tempted to go for the genuine movement, so I can get the Omega flight hands on it.. .. I should of gotten the genuine hands when I had the chance.. shooooot !!!!

when i get the macro's up all measurements will be posted... I am glued to ESPN .. once I get home from the gym.. they got analysis of the BCS Championship.. this is the last of the last college Bowl game.. .. even at the gym .. we got TV screens on all the cardio's.. getting more lean this week.. plus I'm dieting Low carbs for the next 2 day's so I am not all here ... "what a thought"... edit add: .. ahhh what the heck.. cannot refuse a nice request.... lug size is 22mm on the rep

Yup.. your not gonna get me outta ma chair until after the, Florida ~ Oklahoma Game .. But as CoolFire aptly named this piece.. a pic of the, "Yellow Submarine" .. hybrid ... Avenger and Seawolf ~ Let me know if this is enough for you (the one pic) ?? Aloha~Cheers Lani

I was trying to talk maself out of it.. but "self" didn't listen to me.. this is going to be a fun dial to macro image.. the 3 D~ness is wild.. I thought on first glance the dial was to "busy" but conversly ... what isn't..

.. This being BCS "Bowl Week" ya don't think I'm going to lock ma self in the photo room ??.. so I say to self..."self, just post a, Coming soon Thread" I will say this,.. the dial is unique.. the strap... fogetaboutit ... Sexy, Mui Macho .. Need Robbie G .. I'm assuming your a UN dude.. good thing ya didn't "bite the bullet" .. we need ya around cuz !!

First things first.. THANK YOU Ziggy and your significant other J ... Sooooooooooo much for all the hassle I put you through with this project .. you are truly a Gent and your Lady is truly .. (don't know what else to say except .. Professional Class) .. I learned a lot for instruction and shipping The Parts I sourced for this 1655 are not that of Omega's Franken, but it took long enough and I'm still not done.. but Ziggy's art on the dial makes up for everything !!! and the genuine crystal .. the mag is the BOMB !! and the genuine crown is larger than the rep. crown.. the font on the bezel would be that of a 1655 that has been to the service center for a new bezel.. it is thinner than the original.. but there are 1655's out there with this font.. I have just gotten the thicker font and case from Joshua..(which is another story .. thanks J) but I will play with getting another genuine crystal on that one myself and possibly swap the case.. but for now I am extremely happy with this rep. as I will say again, Ziggy made all the difference .. for my not wanting to spend $$$$$$$$ < that kind of dollasrs.. (yet) .. I don't myself count this as a Franken, but rather a "Ziggoid".. the texture of the T - colour lume is out of this world !! Thank you again R & J !!! some sloppy fast pics Thanks in advance for viewing !! Genuine The Bezel with the thicker font, still need to get the Omega hands put in.. but for now I will jus enjoy ... Thank you for viewing.. Aloha~Cheers Lani

that nails it ! DLC all the way for me.. what a difference in the finish coat.. DLC makes the PVD look "plastic" thanks Euno ..
