Welcome Shawn.. let me upload some Omega pics.. sports models... i think your son will enjoy the SMP chrono.. very well done replication.. this does have a Treated Crystal.. "Chiefs AR" (invisible xtal) the rep is fantastic though Franken PO with gen dial and gen crystal another franken gen dial but with a Chief AR xtal The out of the box rep.. All the omegas should be modded with a gen crown and tube.. which we can direct you to.. good luck and welcome.. AC/Lani

If you like B-Lings.. this is a must get the super rep. Blacksteel AC/Lani

I don't know which model "this watch" is ,.. but here is a 196 with sunken dw.. I have the corect font wheel that has to be swapped.. but straight on not a big deal At an angle a different story.. not really noticeable in person, but if your into detail .. so either you live with it or not buy it or get a 7753.. AC/L

to answer your question arnie .. I make time.. because I firmly believe in the leadership of RWG.. as the best on the net .. bar none.. Admin for his tireless and at times "taken for granted" founding and upkeep of this fora, for TT and Co-Admins... and the Mods for their dedication to keeping us safe..and to the community as a whole.. My mind set is always ~ If your going to accept a responsibility ,.then you do it to Your Best ability !! .. No excuses.. no one wants to hear it.. just get it done.. and the community proves this time and again..As in the real world... all that matters in the end is results.. so common gang.. one and all.. get going and let's end 2009 the way we started.. the "RWG way" NO.1

Ubifranken 9411 SF AC/Lani

7~11

Aloha/Cheers ~ AC/Lani .. the best of 2 cultures.. since we are from around the globe.. Aloha~ "the breathe of Life" and I add Cheers as I honour those of you that use it often.. AC/L

If all else fails.. go to the gold shop and buy metal tape strips and attach it to the inside of the case back.. it should be thin enough not to hinder the movement, it's what's use to change the balance of the club heads.. one or two thin strips should do it.. AC/Lani

pics are too small.. I would rather spend the money on a super rep.. regardless.. welcome.. what brand are you interested in.. maybe I have one to post for you to view.. AC/Lani

Noobs BM.. you don't qualify for "freshman" class nice try though

Keep um coming... I think we'll use one of the programs that Ronin hooked us up with I'll get pics up shortly.. AC/Lani

I erroneous stated the tropic 166 that is wrong.. the 9411 takes the tropic 125 I'll email Arthur.. L

To close out 2009 RWG is running a "Class of 2009" give away raffle.. the watch will be an IWC .. from the Pilot line of reps.. Since we are going to start a mega raffle also.. just chime in on this thread if you have signed up with RWG in 2009.. we'll have to pick a winner in some other way, rather than using our automated system.. I cannot run raffles concurrently on the same system.. so chime in if you have registered this year..I'll keep this up until New years Eve..... and the winner will be chosen.... your avatar reg. date will verify your entry.. Donated by PerfectClones and Trustywatch good luck to all.. ADD ~ 12/17/200 PeteM has donated a Breitling Bentley GMT to the Class of 2009 raffle. :thumbsupsmileyanim: AC/Lani Saint Exupery Edition 10 second charge.. a good lume for out of the box

It should be on the top right of your screen.. the "upgraded" memberships sole purpose is to support our monthly usage fee, which the membership donates to in the form of "upgrade", since we are not sponsored like the genuine brand foras we rely on membership donations and raffle sales. Our monthly usage is high due to the offshore servers and added security measures we have in place. Many of us save big time with the knowledge shared, with that info we make better purchases.. and get what we really want.... correct reps.. the Supporter and Plati memberships allow you into sections where members trade items.. more space in your message center and all around support.. we are here to support all, but I myself go the extra yard for members who give back..that is not saying I will not help all members.. but we do need the support through donations to keep this fora running 24/7, 365 days a year... we are the best supporting community on the net.. nowhere will you find members who give so much without asking for a return.. Good luck and holla if you need an assist... Supporter or not.. AC/Lani PS... no one "hounds" you to donate.. we suggest.. it's all in how you "perceive" the community

+1 go gen .. got 2 from Sheartime myself

Ubi is "Da Man" Arthur.. Good luck with your project. L

gen dial~ 200 usd gen crystal~ 200 usd.... chief's 50 usd gen hands around 45 usd gen tube/crown~ around 45 usd .. SOP for funtion. gen bezel over 200 usd and the case would need heavy modding for the gen bezel to fit.. this would push the franken over the edge and too close to a genuine used PO..

the MBK 1680 case is perfect.. you need to source a gen. Tropics 116edit-tropic 125 acrylic crystal (although Clarks does make the T116 edit- tropic 125, and it is quite good) the Tropics 127 for the 1680, it's date window placement will not work for the 9411.. the gen 116 edit- T125 appears on the bay now and again.. 100 usd would be a good price.. I wouldn't worry about the case back.. I just have the stock MBK 1680.. but if you ever source a gen 1680 bezel.. it would make a huge difference in the over all look imo.. the MBK tension ring will not fit the bezel though.. a fraction too small. The eta 2784 would work I believe.. these are inexpensive on Ofrei .. around 50 usd I believe.. I stand to be corrected on that one.. but last I remember it was very inexpensive.. the date wheel needs to be silver though... the 2836 would not have the proper date wheel placement.. again I believe this is the case with the 2836 as the 9411 date window is much farther to the right of the dial than the 2836 would allow. You really need to email Ubi, there was an issue with the movement spacer and he assisted with the final build of my Ubifranken 9411. Yukis dial has the proper feet I believe no modding needed .. I am assuming it is as all their dials with the gen feet placement. I have a gen Tudor crown on this 9411, although I don't have pics on this computer right now.. it does add a nice touch to the piece. this is a pic of the MBK bezel with a genuine insert, the bracelet is a gen oyster the dial is NOS genuine, minty white and the lume is totally flat., the hands are gen from the service center... gen Tropic 116,gen crown. I sourced a genuine 1680 bezel in this pic. the date wheel is silver Hope that helps you Arthur..in lew of Ubi's absence.. I have to look to see if I have a spare date wheel.. dunno if I do or not.. it does not appear silver in the pics but it is. AC R

just a short note on "alignment" in pics... it's is difficult to ascertain the 'exact" positioning of the object though a pic.. the slightest angle of the watch-lens ratio will make the object appear misaligned.. the HeV should be as the gen in real time.. once you get the watch .. it will be different from pics.. the second hand can be fixed.. again you Cannot" trust the pics due to the camera angle and the positioning of the case in relation to the camera.. this is SOP with our hobby .. the fixes can be what you really get into.. just ma .02 L

Welcome... All of RWG's Dealers are listed as "trusted".. if they are not one of our dealers, they will be suspect. the AP's now have the correct sub functions and most dealers will have them.. you need to decide which one you want to do biz with.,. the oldest are Joshua~Perfect Clones, Andrew~Trustywatch.. King... etc.. there are also apprentice dealers that have gone above and beyond in taking pics of the watch they will send out.. go here>Watch Collectors Also, .. Watch Bitz... for all the tools you need from spring bar tools to screw drivers.. crystal press etc. the best price on the net.

10-4 you need the link with the inner sectioned polished?? I picked them up.. standing by for your needs. AC/L

Your wrist are the same size as mine.. 120/80 ... but Heroic .. makes theirs a little longer due to the "girth" (thickness) of their straps .. ergo .. it is a good fit for my wrist.. the thicker the strap the more length needs to be added... you'll be fine with their straps.. AC/Lani

Dun Worry !!!! No matter what UPO you get if it has the eta engine you will eventually want to "Franken it".. we've already started setting you up for chiefs next AR run.. with my spare rep crystal.. so yours doesn't have to be "down" and eventually you will want the gen dial and hands.. cutoms is not an issue .. I believe some members have a watchsmith in EU that can do the swap.. so no fear of crossing customs borders. this is my "Franken" UPO gen dial .. I opted not to get the gen hands .. Ziggy just re-lumed the hands to match the dial stregnth .. but the gen hands are like 35 usd.. the gen parts are not expensive considering it is a genuine brand name.. so just enjoy your rep for now.. when you are ready to build .. no worries .. the shipping of the parts is not a problem. I have the rep dials.. somewhere.. if I can find them.. I cannot promise that I will.. you can have them.. but like I say.. eventually you will want to go Franken.. as you evolve in this hobby.. that is the really fun part of rep collecting.. AC/Lani
