  1. Just purchased my first Omega Ultimate PO 45.5 black face w/ white numbers from trusytime. I just want to say this watch is unreal! I can't belive how good it is, brought it to the jewler (not AD) to get resized and he commented how nice it was and he has the exact same one.

    I wore it to a party last night and received numerous compliments, one even from a guy who was wearing a gen omega and said he is an omega freak, he tried it on and loved it......I highly recommend this watch!!

  2. I received my reply and bought an omega planet ocean chrono, paid paypal and he said 3-5 day shipping. I don't mind waiting for a honest dealer just did not know if i was going to get a reply.

    I paid $150 and today it looks like he raised the price to $175 so i got in just in time. even at $175 he is by far the cheapest price....thanks for the suggestions.

  3. I realize everyone has their own opinions on what dealer to use so i won't ask where to get the best planet ocean chrono. What i really want to know is who has the best service. i have been e mailing silix for weeks trying to place an order and have not received and answer.

    Where can i find links to reputible dealers besides the dealers section. even in that section there are not many links to sites.....thanks for any help

  4. LOL, I know what you are saying...When i recieved the watch I checked all the screws and they were loose. I tightened but one still worked loose <_< I took them all out and used blue loctite on the the remaining. I went to an AD leaving the watch at home. They were very nice, I told them that one had worked loose and asked if they had a replacement. The lady said that they probably did and just told me to bring the watch in and they would fix it :thumbsupsmileyanim: I guess I could of asked them to just purchase the screw...but I was getting flustered by all the shiny things in the display cabinets below :black_eye:

    The amazing thing is i ALWAYS check and tighten them and in two days it came loose while playing poker. If it was one of the band screws i could have used one from an eye glass repair kit. guess i have to get the locktight too!!!!!

  5. Zeetan was selling this one, a NOS at $3200. It seems from checking around that that is a fair price--not killer but OK. If you can pick up a new one for $2600 go for it. Or tell me about it! Only wish I could have found one with the color dial since that would be more "me", but the black dial is nice as well.

    I am having some second thoughts though since there seems to be a lot of discontent on the Zenith forums around with where Zenith is going with the product line. Everyone fairly well despises the new CEO. Reading lot's of information that the El Primero movement is a cranky beast as well. Hope I have good luck with the watch.

    What does everyone else think, is $3200 about right or too high?

    I may be able to get the rainbow colored dial too for around the same price. i like the all black. if you are seriously interested let me know. i am going to a tag heuer friends and family sale on april 21st and last time they had both ( istill regret not getting it the last time) it was new old stock.

    Great deals on tags too...got my gen tag aquagraph for $700

  6. I've been hunting one for a while, and I finally found a Zenith Rainbow Flyback Chronograph. Zeetan just posted one and I was sure I didn't ask for it soon enough, but I just heard back from Zeetan that he put it on hold for me. I didn't appreciate Zenith watches until I understood more about the El Primero movement, and by the time I learned more about them they stopped making this model. I don't care so much for most of the current Zenith models but I was hoping I would eventually find a NOS Rainbow. I don't like the cutouts they are doing to a lot of them and the Defy line is nice but the price would break my back. That this one is the Flyback is just gravy because I'd have been happy with just the regular chrono. Oy vey my bank account! But I cannot resist. Resistance is futile you know....

    Woohoo!

    /Tim

    Looks good, is it new? i may be able to get my hands on one this month for around $2600. let me know how you like it..what did you pay if you don't mind me asking.

  7. Calling all Breitling fans!

    Guys I need your help in determining if this crystal has light AR or no AR.I see no bluish tint whatsoever with my naked eyes but the dealer listed it as having 'light AR' so want to make sure as Im going in for a double AR coat (more details in the watch repair section if ure interested) and it cant be done if this crystal has any kind of AR on it beforehand :huh:

    Do you see any AR? If there is a cetain way to take pics to make it more noticable please let me know and Ill snap em...

    JUST LIKE MY BENTLEY THAT SAID IT HAD "LIGHT" AR WHICH I NOW KNOW MEANS NO AR AT ALL!!!

  8. Bear in mind my opinion is based on pictures and Ive never actually handled the GT personally so I'll take your word for it. But what abt the date? I have seen some reps with the date font horribly misaligned.Like this particular one here:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/BREITLING-BENTLEY-CRON...1QQcmdZViewItem

    I heard someone say the Day changes at 2 instead of 12 so that might be the cause of this.But day in red and date in blue is not acceptable by any means right? heheh

    Regards

    notguilty

    that one on e bay is 100% fake.look at the white wall ring compaired to a gen,

  9. cool! please post a pic of it when u get it back.if i had my bentley then id have sent for my crystal to be ARed as well.i totally love the bentley series of all the breits.unfortunately after using a 44/48mm watch u cant really use anything smaller so most other watches no longer look appealing.would love for a 6.75 rep.what color is ur dial? mine's black

    199313-2059.jpg

    mine is black too, but i also have a white face if i ever want to change it (would never try it myself!)..i also like the 6.75 where have you seen a good one? i have not been able to find one.

  10. i purchased the GT without knowing abt this flaw

    found out abt it after the watch got shipped and it totally ruined my mood

    eventually the watch was siezed by customs so i opted for the bentley 30s instead

    another thing i dont like about the GT is that the subdial hands dont look black like the gens

    if they do fix these 2 flaws im gonna be the first to get me a blue dial GT!

    mmm that large polished case on a black leather strap + deployment is going to guarantee me many many sexytime waa waa wee waa

    i would also be first in line for the black dial gt.i have the 48mm bentley and love it! can't wait to get the crystal back from the ar job.
