It's well-known that one or more moderators at RepGeek are members here, as well, and ban us over there for what we say over here. It's very creepy. Borderline insane, actually.
It's a black tuxedo stripe dial.
Funny story .. I actually intended to buy the most excellent 500M chrono version but purchased it so quickly I did not notice my mistake.
Absolutely .. the v4 and v5 42mm Planet Ocean reps were very good and accept genuine parts. The newest Ceramic Planet Ocean model is a work in progress, with the latest "revision" coming out in the last month.
I can not remember the last time I was on RepGeek .. maybe a year? I went there just now to read the Skyfall thread only to find myself banned. The mysterious RepGeek ban hammer falls, once more! I can only imagine that I may have commented on a Repgeek thread here on RWG some time in the past and angered a blustering man-child/admin over there.
But that does not seem to be thinner at all? Also .. who the heck brushed the sides of your DeepSea ?? I have to assume that you don't care about the way the watch looks and are trying to "customize" it however you please.
The watch you linked is another animal entirely .. it's a CERAMIC Planet Ocean .. every version before this (the v3, v4) are all steel inserts .. the latest Planet Ocean uses ceramics.
What you need to decide first is do you want the Steel bezel Planet Ocean or the newest model Ceramic bezel.
Hey Guys,
Beginning this morning, the View My Content function has stopped working. It complains that there are no posts to list. A quick look at the View New Posts function, tho, shows that many topics I've commented upon have new replies, so it's definitely the VMC function that's broken.
Since they go out into the watch bazaar every day anyway, the pricing doesnt matter. I've bought $80 watches from them.
As for how long an Asia 21j movement lasts ... who cares? It's $23 to buy, retail .. replace the movement.
