this is one right before i got really ill i was working on to make close as perfect to the genuine, i actually went to a reeds jewelry shop that had everyone of these in stock and did a comparison, i can now say this baby is at least 98% close to genuine , the sales rep of omega happen to be in the store and i acted like i was thinking about buying the bigger one , so i took mine off to try it on and i also wanted to see the new ones , and talk about nervous he all of a sudden grabbed it and starting polishing it for me and telling me how he was thinking of getting a orange one like mine , i was about to have a panic attack right then and there and he simply handed it back to me and said dont u think those hour markers glow better on these than the old seamaster, and then and there that told me it passed cause he did check out the glow on mine, luckily i relumed it or he would have said something cause he was checking it out pretty hard, however i never saw him look at the back of the watch , i guess the front passed good enough lol anyway here she is swimming in the ocean and smiling at me , this one came from trustywatchguy and what i did was take the markers off the old chinese dial which had the better font and put the markers from the bad new dial and switched them , then i raised the logo just a hair to be in better position and i relumed it and i tightened my bezel to feel really smooth and snug and reglued my insert down because they come with on tape holding them down , i also polished out and rebrushed the case/bracelet to be more like the genuine, also i polished out the bezel prongs to smoothe them out, i waterproofed it and this is what i came up with , enjoy!!!

Well it has been a long and interesting summer for me , i have had many doctors now tell me that there is no major health issues to make me die, they say i may black out but i physically cant make myself die, all through it all i felt like i was going to literally die, because of breathing mostly amongst other things, i have now had two doctors tell me im suffereing from anxiety panic attacks ( this may be so but i dont feel like im stressed out) but they say that most of the time a panic attack can occur for no apparent reason(maybe subconscious, hell i dont know for sure) i just know that the last two weeks have been pretty good for me and i feel much better now, which is the main thing !! im sure i gave my family a run for there money , but i can assure u i am proud to have a great loving family that i have and friends/customers like u guys!!! Ok i will cut it short but now u know what has been wrong and where i have been, i am still working on watches for many here , many of my regulars keep me busy and im not too far behind now , pretty much up to par, however i would like all of my customers that i have dealing with now to contact me in the next few days on my old email address which is jbuttspsu@earthlink.net, i no longer use that temparary email redbigjoe69@yahoo.com because i liked my old one the best and it is faster and i get all my emails usually there and the pictures come out better with no extra clicking to see , so please contact me there and during the next week or so i will be in contact with u even though i had a couple of health problems on my vacation a few weeks ago i did manage to get u some pics of my omega planet ocean all dolled up , i will show it off soon for u guys ok it held up fine in the ocean btw!! lol love u guys and thank u so much for your support regards joe

sry i have been away a few xtra weeks after my vacation, i have taken another u turn with my health which im still trying to sort out, so far they have found nothing major which is a good thing but they alos r thinking a big part of my problem is due to me gaining weight and feeling like a old man is due to anxiety and a few other minor things (i hope), which is something i am trying to understand , they have me on a diet to lose roughly 30 pounds and a more fiber diet to take care of my bowel problems , so soon i hope to feel more like my old self, again im sry i havent been around much lately but under the circumstances i just havent felt like it, even though i want to .My doctor also feels my sleep problems come from my digestive and my weight gain and panic attacks from my anxiety r causeing my sleeping problems , in short he has told me over and over physically i can not die which i believe he says to reassure me the things i thought was wrong r just not the reasons for how i feel . As luck has it i have been on jury duty this week , it started monday , and i was selected on monday to be one of the 12 jurors, we finished that case but i have to go back today to be in the selection process again, so hopefully i will not get selected again, but this week i am working and i am getting people who r waiting done, i have gotten a little behind again but not like last time, so please u guys be patient with me and i will be available like before soon , however i will limit my calls to 6 pm eastern time for at least a month or so people that r waiting on stuff i ask if u will wait and call me next monday , and people who want to talk watches with me do the same please, as always i try to be honest with u guys and im trying to work on myself so i can provide u all with the service u deserve from me . (its hard to believe i have anxiety problems but im trying to understand it, so please bare with me) thank u all for your support and i will try and peep in and out this week while im on jury duty ok your friend joe aka rbj69

figured i would leave u guys with some pics of my modded planet ocean ,i went to a local ad on omega and found some interesting things that i incorporated on my replica, and the logo looks high but acutally it is not the pics r in upward angles to cut back glare and made the logo and lettering look apart , the lume is phennominal now but it appears the hands and dial lume differs but again i think it is camera lighting cause in person it doesnt look that different lol also i did some other things other than a complete redial ,see if u can see? lol AR coating pics for u No Glare shots lume shots didnt come out so good but u can tell it is much brighter joe
