  1. That wouldn't keep me from buying it. EVERY 7750 has a sunken DW. Do you think people are going to notice?

    If you like it, don't let that keep you from buying it, it's a beauty.

    she is a beauty.. maybe someday when the glaciers melt.. the sunken DW will be a thing of the past.. but until then enjoy them :thumbsupsmileyanim:

  2. It's Super Bowl Sunday and the "Game" is here..

    So what is everybody got planned for this festive event .. that in the US is more like a Religious Holiday than a football game :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    And are you wearing a special watch for "Luck".. that you believ is going to help your team win the big one..??

    We should really get something going here.. I'm sure I can get a prize from somewhere.

    Any ideas for a Super Bowl give away.. how are we going to exploit this and have some fun ?? :thumbsupsmileyanim:

  3. Lani,

    do you think the DW he is offering HERE will fit an ETA 2836/ 2824 movement? I am looking for a DW with flat 3 for my MBW 1680 to get it finished.

    It won't work not only is it for the 1570 and 75 but the layout of the font is different from the wheel for the 2836 I believe.. you would need an Overlay.. dunno if stilty still has em.. I have one from the form Kruzer and Co. from years ago.. just need to get it fitted onto my 1680..

  4. The lugs D.. the bezel.. the blocky look or the PreV and the different shape of the CG's.. most rep cases have the dimple or bevle between the lugs.. the older versions did or had a very slight dimple.. the case that was gifted to me by my Brotha in CO. has no dimple ..

    look for Arminvanburens sig in this thread and you'll see the difference..

  5. This is the genuine crystal.. it has a definite strong blue hue

    the dial is also gen

    at different angles the hue will more apparent

    This also has a gen dial.. but with a Chief treated AR on the rep crystal.. the only gen thatcomes close to chiefs AR is the Ulysse Nadin's, chiefs has absolutely no reflection of light

    upogenrep017.jpg

    In full on direct light it will have a faint plume hue but in direct sunlight.. Nothing but dial

    The Lume on the Gen is good.. not as good as the gen Panerai's.. and equal to Ziggy's

    re-lume mods..

  6. How much have you worn the watch? Unless you've worn it all day and been at least somewhat active, I wouldn't expect it to be fully charged.

    :lol: +1

    if you shake it and it starts up.. it will have only enough in the PR to run for a bit before it stops again.. give it a gentle hand wind for about 10 rotation.. going slow and let the rotor do the rest whilst wearing it all day.. get a winder to keep it charged overnight.. fyi the winder is not to charge it but to keep it charged once it has full PR.

  7. @lani: i am using a josh case.... this is it http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/107155-1655-steve-mc-queen-super-moded-sold/

    what do you think about? what would you upgrade?

    Looks good marc..

    the only thing left would be to swap the hour/min hands with the genuine Omega flight hands from Ofrei.. it freakishly is the same as the genuine

    here is the gen

    Here is the Omega flight master hands.. they do need to be broached to fit the eta movement.

    If I ever do another 1655 I think I would have the lume done minty white..
