Well said !!

Mmmm, each to their own......

That's a great wrist shot !! (of a great watch !!)

Unless you are diving to depths of 100m or more, I wouldn't worry about the helium valve - it's just a gimmick !!

Don't knock it mate !! - I have one and with all the other (better) reps I own, I still like my old black SMP with an asian auto - it's like a comfy pair of slippers !!

I'm no expert but the rep Rolex bracelets don't seem to have the same kind of quality feel to them that the Omegas' do.

I had exactly the same problem - ordered an 007 SMP from Silix-Prime and they sent it to another guy in the UK. I ended up with his watch - a Bell & Ross Chrono ! He decided he liked my SMP so much he kept it ! To make matters worse, it was last one Silix-Prime had (Bummer !!). I sent the B&R back and swapped it for an Orange PO (45mm) which is a nice watch. I am 5' 9" and I don't think it looks too rediculous on me but I still prefer my 42mm PO that I already had from Paul at Wo-Mart.

I bought a 42mm (black bezel/orange numbers) from Paul at Wo-Mart - It's a fantastic watch and (to my untrained eye), appears t have very good AR. According to Paul's website it has an ETA2824 movement and is a lot cheaper than Josh or Andrew. Incidentally, I have also just received a 45.5mm Orange bezel PO from Silix-Prime and I actually prefer the 42mm !

Received my Orange (Pumpkin) PO today from Jay and Angel - here's a couple of shots of it sat next to it's smaller brother, the 42mm from Paul.

Thanks for your advice chrgod - Much appreciated :thumbsupsmileyanim:

I've just ordered a 45mm PO from Jay & Angel and they told me (after they sent it) that it comes (as standard) with a Swiss ETA 2836 movement but if I wanted, I could have it with a Swis ETA 2824..What is the difference? Am I better off sticking with the 2836 or send it back to get the 2824? Please help a poor confused non-horologist !

Decided to give the bracelet of my asian SMP (also bought from Andrew - Top Bloke !) a bit of a scrub under the tap and splashed a little water on the crystal and the back - the inside of the crystal steamed up a few minutes after I had dried the outside !! A few minutes on a hot radiator soon sorted it out but I won't be doing that again in a hurry !! Since then, I am terrified of going anywhere near water with any of my reps !!

What a pisser and it looked such a nice restaurant !!

What are you all doing in my living room ???????

That really is a great rep - a blind man would be pleased to spot the differences !!

Perhaps I've just been particularly unlucky. I imagine it varies, depending on the part of the UK - some areas being better than others...

At £2.50 ($4.75) You'd be mad not to !!!!

Saw this on Ebay and it made me laugh (look at the name - is this the next generation PO ??) !! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/M15-PARALETIC-Seamas...1QQcmdZViewItem

I ordered a watch from Andrew before Christmas and it never arrived - Parcelforce "lost" it. Although the address was correct, they said the postcode was incorrect so they couldn't deliver it and then it just "went missing" (never to be seen again !). Their excuse was that they take on temporary drivers at Christmas time and some are not very good ! (one of them is probably wearing MY watch !!). Andrew replaced it (nice chap !!) I ordered another watch from Andrew the other day and I tracked it on EMS from Shanghai to Coventry in 4 days (including a weekend !!). Again, part of the address was missing so it took a further 2 days for me to get it from Parcelforce. Surely, if they have an address it doesn't matter if the postcode is slightly wrong - they can work it out ?? and surely, if they have an accurate postcode, it shouldn't matter if the address is slightly out - they can work it out ?? - Seems not - it's just too difficult !! A watch can travel thousands of miles from China to the UK with no problems but the good old UK postal service can't mannage the last few miles !! It is so frustrating when you have been tracking it all the way and then it doesn't arrive !! [i'm not sure why Andrew's shippers keeping cocking up my address but that's anther story...!!] Am I alone or has anyone else fallen foul of the crap UK postal delivery service ?? Do other countries share the same poor service ??

And Turkey !!....

It's starting to grow on me....

Listing removed - the system works !!!

One of the worst I've seen lately and it's even avertised on Ebay as a "clone" - how brazen is that ?!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/mens-high-quality-om...1QQcmdZViewItem
