You all think Xerox Palo Alto Research Centre invented the GUI?! (#1 myth on the interweb). I suggest you read up a little on your computer history. Or, you can watch
from the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute in 1968.
Steve Jobs made computing insanely great! For this, I will forever be grateful.
I would like to build a ladies DateJust Franken. My plan is to use all gen parts except for the movement and hands, which would be donated from a rep ladies DateJust. Has anybody ever done this? Are there any problems associated with it?
I have the same watch except mine is from 1993; a GMT II 16710 with black/red "Coke" bezel. Now, all you gotta do is collect the rest of the bezels like I did. Mine is sporting a blue/red "Pepsi" bezel now. But, I may switch it to my all-black bezel. It's an excellent watch! You'll never take it off your wrist!!!
Wow! Looks like you're right. From the pics, that movement looked pretty rough. That rotor is not finished very nicely. And, those pics on the auction; all awful. I guess it's a gen.
I just got a reply from the seller as well. I informed him about it's illegitimacy yesterday. Good seller. Totally trustworthy if anybody ever wants to buy from him.
It has "happy feet" Omega logo. Tachymetre bezel is missing the dot between the 400 and 500 mark. The finish on the dial is rough, to say the very least. I don't care if the seller has 54 billion transactions. Compare the watch to a genuine, and you'll clearly see that this is a fake.
THIS is a genuine. Compare.
That's not a news flash. Like I said, the Breitling calibre 17 movement is nothing but a modified and COSC certified ETA 2824. Of course it'll work with a gen dial.
