Un "Omega Seamaster Professionnel", en homage de By-Tor, pour vous. Short & sweet; first photo is the gen, second is the rep. SMP chrono rep courtesy of Josh last week, I've re-aligned the insert, and the 7750's movement has been adjusted to less than +5 secs per day. Contemplating throwing in a gen Eta 7750 & a re-lume job, per The Zigmeister--the gen 7750 will have the correct datewheel font as this one does not, but I could care less about it as of now. The weight is spot-on; only within a few, meer grams of the gen (both having been sized to my wrist) and is so close, the difference is immeasurable in hand. The band is fantastic; its only flaw, the ubiquitous rep screws, as opposed to pins. Btw, the rep watch tested solid to 300 feet at the same AD I bought my gen from--the strongest pressure test on a rep I've (personally) seen yet! Simply amazing. And this weekend, she went down to about 60 feet, sound as a pound. My apologies for the fuzzy picture quality--as it's low light & my tripod's been loaned out. And here's the clearest pic I could get of the rep's dial: And as with all reps the lume is decent, but unlike the gen it appears to fade fast. However, to its credit I will say I took this watch off my wrist @ 11 PM last night after toying with the lume & a flashlight, and when I awoke to have a slash around 4 AM, (in a completely dark room, mind you) it was still lit enough to tell exactly what time it was--hour markers and all. I must say so far, this is the closest to gen rep straight from the Box I've seen since the proverbial Rolex Explorer I. Quite nice; four out of five stars.

So whatever happened with this guy's explanation of why this was supposedly wrong?...

If it hadn't, there'd be one flaming mad thread on here about them! They do ship like true smugglers though; your watch will either arrive inside of an industrial sized flashlight, or inside a child's toy. I actually had to smash open a life-size plastic violin to get the watch out.

Don't know about th PO, but just take it and pay the $20 or so to have it tested. My SMP chrono from Josh tested solid to 300 ft--the deepest I've seen yet. I've got one Andrew Sub & one Davidsen 005 that went to 6 ATMs/bars and all the rest of my sports models have at least gone to 3 ATMs.

Lol--as stated, I did.

Overpriced, but I bought a few from this site before I discovered this place: http://watchcity.biz/Zenith_replica.html

This one, perhaps? http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=18523&hl=

Swiss or Asian?

It appears for some, opportunity has knocked... http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=18874

It's punishment from God, for not posting more often.

More like Magoo...

Part of the keyless probably.

Uhhh..they're only water proofed after they've had their gaskets greased and have been pressure tested... Which model are you referring to? If you've had water under the glass, it already needs to be serviced (probably re-lubed). I hope it was chlorine water and not salt; if it was, just throw it away & start over. The right way this time.

Look no further! http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Submariner-Stain...tem160072309317 "It comes complete with hologram green sticker on back with model #116610". Jesus Christ. And it even comes with a Datejust book...

Hmmm...I'm not so sure I'd subscribe to that interpretation of how much most make, but I really don't think it's my business. Never talk about money, and never judge a man--especially not on the size of his wallet.

Interesting--I'm curious as to where you found that and exactly how much they were raping someone for it.

What do you do to the Asian 7750s to get them to stop ticking (to remove hands, etc)?

Oh, God... Edited because I forgot to quote.

Lmao!

That is one smooth ass phone. EDIT--Cingular only?! Too bad I'm on contract with Alltel...[censored].

Hmmm..the gen dial looks 100 times better with the subdial spacing & the bigger 6...

I've found chronos via Google in 40 & 44mm, but none with this exact color combo on the dial, and usually with leather straps (stock) rather than metal bands. Does any one know if this exact model exists from Panerai, or are there any glaring flaws you can spot on the following model? Thanks http://watchwindersworld.com/pn06001-chron...40mm-p-437.html

2-ply epoxy.

I forget what that was. PM me a reminder.
