  1. Considering this beauty is the gen I think the spelling is the least of the concerns
  2. I don't think they are talking about parts. This seems like raw material which is not worth even 1M euros.
  3. bummer, without a Ti case it will be unlikely I'll get one. You can't get even close to the right color with SS let alone the weight. With so many Ti models coming up I wonder why they don't get a better 194 out. In fact it's time for the rep factories to get the Pam subs right. How hard can it be? Andrei, nice mods. If only I could get a Ti case to replace the SS one.
  4. I bet the value is bogus since that's the only text I could find that mentions value. Most Swiss news agency are just reporting 15,7Kg of gold missing, no monetary value associated. I think a headline with 15M Euros is sexier than 500K Euros
  5. The 194 bezel really speaks to me. Is there a decent rep around?
  6. I would not share that kind of information in ANY Internet social network. The fact our hobby is less than legit just makes it worse. +1000 offshore. Just pure common sense.
  7. some parts are from LH but that's a franken assembled entirely by me. The crystal (or apparent lack of thereof) is Chief's work. I really like the Sun's reflection on the CP
  8. nice with the new notifications. I was concerned for a little while with the DB errors though.
  9. that was part of my point. I refuse to buy things I can build myself.
  10. this just strengthens the case for replacement parts just like what was said for auto parts. OEM auto parts are always excessively priced and the replacement ones usually are the same quality.
  11. Nothing like relaxing at the pool on a holiday wearing one of your favorite PAMs
  12. Chilling with my franken 111 at the pool
  13. Here's what he said: "this is the second hand 2892 movement ,the factory just change the rotor and sell the watch over $1500"
  14. I tried twice but my dealer wouldn't sell it to me because the movement is not worthy. He took the watch to his watchsmith and the "gen" movement is just a regular second hand ETA.
  15. Doc, that's what I'm doing now. Cutting it as I type (well, stopped to write this)
  16. Folks, I'm not sure if this would be of any use for you guys but I'm planning to give it a try. Just print it and glue to your existing DW. For the 7750 the print size should be 24.64mm This is a pic of the OEM DW
  17. For me the only thing going for the Hont version is the price. Everything else looks bad. HE valve: too large and shiny. Bezel button: In normal operation it should be raised, not depressed. Hands: should be matte, not shiny Crown: It could be just how they took the picture but I suspect that crown doesn't close shut. That gap worries me Caseback: Already mentioned Speedmaster, missing Omega logo under the Seahorse Overall finish and case format: Seems off and cheap looking I could continue but what's the point So far the Ploprof has been a big disappointment for me
  18. very nice. So what's OEM on it? The dial looks very good. Is it gen?
