No worries... wishful thinking would be Saturday.. realistically,.. Monday, as express does not a lot of times consider Saturday a business day.. so even if it is released from customs on friday morning it will sit throughout the weekend.. but I can alway's HOPE

the"laquered white red vintage omega logo"in genuine is made in Stainless steel the genuine versions of the other dials is in (among others) steel
-
This is "one" of the versions I have due to arrive...." Laquered White Red Vintage Omega Logo" .. it is the only SS as the other models are Steel .. i believe @ BT... YES.. my initial knee jerk reaction.. was.. WAY COOL..... the pics from the collectors site is made to show the AR ... (it is supposed to be double AR from the Rep makers.). as the genuie is ar'd so what appears to be blue dials is in actuality Black The white with black sub dials will be arriving also.. the Black with silver dials is the new colour launch by Omega and will be also on the Deville model if I am not mistaken there are 5 dials available .. if I remember being told correctly ... this is all that will be available: Black...steel Silver...steel White/blk subs...steel Black/wht subs..steel Laquered White Red Vint. Omega Logo..,SS But it could also be a marketing strategy and different models ie. TT, Blue dial etc... will be released when this stock is depleted... that is just my opinion if I were selling it ... so I would be "compelled" in my "own" mind to buy again.. As far as price... email your collectors I don't like to quote from different dealers sites.. but to me it's a break from the costant 300 usd range Again,. i will post a "preview" when i recieve them.. (still apprenticing at learning the details and fine points of "Reviewing").. let's leave the Review to members such as BT ... but look for the preview as a journeyman .. i will attempt.. an apprentice "preview"

the replicated watch itself will do the telling... if the rep ordered is what it is supposed to be then .... nuff said I wouldn't say that it is 100% a sure thing until I see with my own eyes the product... better safe than sorry.. don't you think ??? just excited about the possibility.....Finally ... i am confidant but would not want others to take the jump until I am 110% positive, As alway's I will post a "preview" instead of the full blown review that I am still apprenticing the review aspect of the board.. as I learn then i will add to my Previews... i will not put the "review" label on my posts of new releases until such time where I can do justice to this forum and it's members..after all I don't want to misinform members by thinking that all i have to do is post pics and call it a "review" lani edit add on: Just want to make sure this rep will be worth the money.. cause it's your money not mine.. mine is buying the rep that will be posted... it looks good from the email i got but lets wait a week and then "we" will see..... i mean this sincerely . just a little excited .. we all have been waiting for the right spacings..

A: China ; A: Mine ; A: Credit ; A: Anticipation is more inviting than the actual procurement of the item.. grasshoper

lanikai replied to RWG Technical's topic in General Discussion
Your Posting has relieved me in more way's than just the ETA movement Ziggy..!!!! the ETA movement seems secondary to see your post again Happy New Year to you and yours... and thank you for your as alway's, valuable information and insight ... I don't want to assume that we can order this with our watch servicing... but would that be a possibility or do we need to arrange a group buy on our own ?? thank you, Lani -
with that said UB you shall be recieving some Hawaiin Treats in the mail.. can't send the raw stuff .. but i think i can source some ahi jerky and coconut candied strips .. some coffee from the Big Island to go with the candy.. we got "shave ice"

As stated by Italiano they are basiclly the same .. different makers and they came out 10 day's apart from each other and to also verify CYO811 the V2 does not come in white and blue dials.. but both are bascilly the same upgraded "ultimate".. and V2 has some gold models also please search the other threads, all questions will be answered ie. Italianos response to graphite dial vs. genuine.. and pics are available there also I've done the same so I m not criticing your post .. just.. a bit of friendly help.. it pays to do a search first .. most of the vet. members have answered all these questions for us..... but if you cannot find what u are looking for .. don't hesitate to post
-
I'll upload more pics for you and your wife .. to remember your time here.. Makapuu lookout .. the Koolau's and the Pali.. but actually i figured you'd catch the Diamond Head shot from Waikiki ... I'll take my folks back for their 53 anniversary.. any excuse to go to the Halekulani will be a good excuse.. 2008 and can't wait for the new releases....

It is supposed to be AR'd .. I just messaged my collector and he say's yes .. it is supposed to be AR'd, since it was replicated from the genuine model.. he is contacting the maker and will reply ASAP...i cannot make out even the slightest AR coating ????

Happy New Year RWG .. I wish everyone a Healthy and very Prosperous 2008 time.... where did it go ..A lifetime cannot even account for a drop in the ocean of time ..... Time..... Like the rising of the sun And the coming of night Life passes without notice or recognition But, if we can hold on to the simple things in time We will truly come to know ourselves And find the simple truths in life.. Lani Riviera ..... travels through to 2008 sometimes quickly sometimes slowly but eventually 2008 all around the world
-
Pix,.. let me know if you want some pics of the black dial version of the Riviera .. i will send them to send them to you and you do with them as you wish.. lani
-
Perfect and Trusty .. supplied the genuine to the maker and have a period where the Double AR is available to them and another collector... the double undeniably double..other collectors may have had it released to them this week I don't know...

U not going to believe this Ryyannon... i was getting the prime and all the other what nots.. I like the End cut for the spice and the red meat too.. my father got the other end.. and a Madame from EU was standing next to me and she said... "that's the way to live life".. i just told her.. "life is good"... she replied "life is great .. at the Halekulani on Sunday".. have a Prosperous and great New Year ryyannon.. Lani

Italiano knows his Breitlings..as does Andrew and chrgod.... this is just more pics and my 2 cents Graphite .. dial for me the BCE .. cousteau.. IWC 3717 .. they are all unique and hard to pick out one over the other...they are all very good but not perfect "super rep" but close... and "2nd place is the first to loose".. so with that said i like them all but if I were to pick and order for buying .. i would go Cousteau BCE Graphite IWC Pilot but thaose choices may change tomorrow.... they all have thier own flawa .. but what you need as far as a very good rep.. you will get.. IMHO

Porsche Flat 6 / Grey Dial
lanikai replied to lanikai's topic in The Two R's Watch Reviews - Lani & Ubi
Wear and drive in good health.. FYI di you know ..(or do you care ) . that in some countries you pay more insurance when you own a red sports car... Miss the air cooled engine for the whine of the fan... that was the trade mark sound of the Porsche for the longest time.. -
Porsche Flat 6 / Grey Dial
lanikai replied to lanikai's topic in The Two R's Watch Reviews - Lani & Ubi
this is the A7750 .. Ziggy's review of this states .. that it is one of the best movements .. if serviced properly... my flat 6 is running close to dead on from the same time yesterday.... seems like the maker of this model is (knock on wood).. doing a great job so far.. -
you need to get the date font modded.. Lello has the Date Wheels being made now.. refer to UB7's post on his BCE he is upgrading with genuine font Date wheel.. none of the reps will have the correct font... the Blackbird is the only Breitling that has a decent date font..IMHO The pics on the collectors sites may not pic up the concentric rings as some of the members pics.. you may want to post and ask if anyone can upload pics of their Black dial BCE's .. I am getting the V2 in a couple of weeks ask again if you don't find anyone who has one.. i have in TT black.. ss is the same here are the pics the lighting is bad and in better lighting the rings are evident lani
