Pete, are you feeling well? I have no idea what you just said

yes, the cashmere (the same type that comes with the Fiddy) I have on right now is OEM too.

I usually wear it with rubber, JV or cashmere (currently on). I only have the JV pic though.

no Gran, you are way passed geek in this case

1st rule of eBay, if it's too cheap, it's not good. Trust your brain not your emotions.

That's a rep of the Las Vegas SE The seller has several negative reviews of sending fake goods, including watches. He started with no pictures, then added a pic of an unrelated AP movement and then a bad pic of the a watch (that's probably not his because it looks gen). Funny the watch on the pic has box/papers but he claims he doesn't have them. Think about it. The gen costs around $27K new. He could get easily $5-8K but taking it apart, if it was really for parts. Too good to be true, usually is. That's probably a sec@12 model that crapped out, hence selling for parts. Considering the rep costs $500, $400 for one with a bad movement is not so bad.

now just get one of these to go with the suit

pics are fine. The rep does NOT have that level of detail. Easy to spot.

movement is 100% authentic.

Seems 100% gen. You need a new strap though. That one has all kinds of man juices on it.

Apart from the Rolex, the Omega 8500 and the new Panerai 9001 caliber, which watch/movement would allow you to independently set the main hour hand? When I travel I find a lot easier to just set the hour (6 hrs ahead, 2 hrs back, etc.) but the ETA based ones only allow the GMT hand to be set independently.

No, the dials won't be compatible. Now that they have the A7753 I doubt you will see anything using the ETA7753. http://puretimewatch.com/product/pam326-m-daylight-titanium-a7753-ultimate-edition-sample-preview/ Get the A7753 and get it serviced by The Zigmeister. You won't even think about the Swiss anymore.

that bezel is awful. If all they are doing is some pearl change, this will be still a big FAIL.

is there anyone in the US that offers AR for the cyclops?

I'm still confused. The Planet Ocean 42mm (let's say model 2901.50.91) uses the Omega Caliber 2500. At Ofrei there are no dials that fit the 2500 that has raised metal numbers. I have no idea what this 5th generation rep does but I'm yet to see a dial like this anywhere for sale.

Ofrei doesn't have the liquid metal dial.

talk about a big fail. The PO ceramic has metal raised numbers and not painted like the silix version. The pearl is awful and the bezel seems to be carved with the numbers and markers sunken. The gen is a lot more subtle.

All names added. I have a list running on W-C and RWI also so please only post in one of the threads. I think we have quorum and I'll put the order this week. It should take a few weeks to be ready.

I have not checked with my manufacturer yet but I'd expect the same as before, $70

I've seen real live pics of this one. It's ugly, looks like a cheap rep with bad DLC.

Since you're new here I think it's OK to give you a pass but the vast majority of the members here enjoy buying, building and wearing replica watches. The membership here is very helpful and nice but it would help in the future for you to be a little more specific about what you have and what you want. Since you did not take the time to introduce yourself, nobody here had the obligation to know what you have or what kind of person you are. One last thing, even though many of us have gens and know where to find OEM parts, quite frankly your attitude seems to be a little too arrogant for some of us to want to help you. I'd check it at the door the next time.

I'm considering doing another run of my crystals. I'll use this thread as a reservation list in case the project gathers enough interest for the run to be possible. As always I will not accept payment until I have the crystals back from the manufacturer. Pls post how many crystals you need. List - mjmj - 4 - Capt_MJ - 2 - Watchmeister - 2 - mt666tm - 2 - dcgcn - 3 - kingkaiser - 2 (?)
