Actually, I thought I read somewhere here on the forum that the word Chronometer was also missing in the early years of this model, '92 or so, on the automatics. That's why that didn't alarm me. I paid $60. So, I can live with that, I'll drink a few less this month. In holland we call that learning-money. BTW: I got it from an ebay seller called edelweiss. And now that I know of the short 3-marker, I can tell that his picture was an automatic dial and he send me a quartz. I feel so violated and dirty! Of course, he doesn't respond to my emails now. Let you know how it ends. The hunt goes on for an auto dial!

yes it's diffrent. So I can't use this? Seller said it was for automatic actually.

No, I didn't. Ahh that is stupid of me! How can you tell?

Is there a watch there? O, right.... I wanna be that lollypop

nope...

Just to be clear: the help I got on this quest was much appreceated!

Got me a black insert from Alpha Watch. To be honest: I think the pearl is freakin ugly. I surely won't use it. Decide for yourself:

Guys, I got me a gen dial on ebay. It's unused, but certainly not new. I'd like to clean it up before I get it installed. I have no experience in this. I'm sure a few of you have. Any advice on cleaning methodes? Wich cleaning product, etc? Thnx! R.

I'm working on a SMP Bond, in black. First, I bought a rep dial from Ryaku, who got a gen. But later on I decided to hunt for a gen dial too. I think it was a good decision...

I hope that is you arm we're looking at....

Look great Hannibal! I love it when a plan comes together :-)

40mm, same as the old speedmaster date

Identical case as previous, wide subdials.... how hard can it be?

Love it! What kind of strap?

Is it any good?

Hi all, I want to buy a set of hands for a smp bond. I saw this seller on ebay, he's much cheaper then the genuine hands from cousins and ofrei: http://cgi.ebay.com/WATCH-HAND-OMEGA-JAMES-BOND-ETA-2892-2-SILVER-YELL-/310086480362?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 What do you guys think? Any good? Or is it like my old man says: buy cheap is buy twice...

Very good initiative FDG, this is how we profit from each other! Van A naar beter :-)

exciting.. I'm still on the hunt for a gen dial. If I don't find it, I use yours..

So Ryaku, yours has a gen bezel then? And gen dial, correct? show us! :-)

The diffrence is.. you know it's the real deal! Even though your reps can be superb, the days you wear your gen you grow 2 inches... nuff said. Congrats on a beautiful watch!

Very cool!

Hey G, Can you post a more zoomed-out pic? Really wanna see the strap from a wider angle... R.

Athan: what's the price? I'm working on the same watch. Also, I found these guys, don't know about the quality tough: ###.ewatchparts.###/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=49_87 #= the usual
