Hi All,

This may sound silly...just wondering if anyone purchase the Omega boxset from one of our dealers. Are they similar in terms of quality or same materials?

I used to order my stuff from Ofrei, that was until Boob called me and decided to teach me a lesson in watch material ordering.

Since then, I have found a supplier that I have been using for 4 years, and have easily spent $1000's of my dollars with, they are fast - I get my orders in 2 days, they are friendly and professional, and they treat me like a CUSTOMER not like a turd like Boob Frei does...

What goes around will come around, BOOB wants to only deal with "Pro's", I guess someone needs to tell him that the total amount of watchmakers in the USA is probably not above 5000...the British Horological Institute has ONLY 3000 members, and with more manufacturer's keeping everything in-house, his clientel is slowly but surely dying or retiring off.

He's living in the past, and thinks that time is on his side, but look around, companies that have been around and highly successful for many years are failing. Treating your customers like crap, isn't the way forward.

People have a choice, I excercised mine and found a new supplier and have never looked back.

Ofrei are also crooked, my postage would be marked as $6.20 on the package, he would charge me over twice that amount, parts would be incorrect or missing from my order, they would ignore my emails and I still have outstanding parts and tools they owe me.

Boob Frei serves one purpose, he's a laugh when you get him going, I have fun with him hoping that I'll make him pop a gasket one day. I think he needs to take some Prozac or something...

Hey The Zigmeister, mind sharing who the supplier is?

Absolutely love the 2254. I have a great rep of it and I have not even worn it (still in its plastic wrapping!). Though would love to get the non-america cup SMP 2230 .

Very tempting to get the gen 2254, I have to ask for a mate's rate.

Will let you know the asking price, b16a2.

Sorry to hear the news, mate.

My concondolences to those affected.

Not rare, but also not for sale anymore unless you are lucky to find one left over at a dealer. Check prices on WUS, a complete 95% watch that's still got it's serial number is going for around 1100 - 1200 as long as it's the automatic movement. The 2255.80 is my favorite (I own one), but the 2254 is a classic, and feels MUCH MUCH nicer than a sub. The cal 1120 in these is a workhorse that has proven itself and is one of the best movements in the business. I think mine ticks more smoothly than my friends gen GMT Master II.

MUCH nicer.

And a great deal for the quality you get for the money.

Love the 2255.80 as well. Is the 2255.80 still available over the AD?

For reference

Hi All,

Have a mate trying to sell me his Gen black SMP. He told me that this is a classic rare Omega watch (not available brand new anymore), has a great investment value to it. It is in mint condition and really good price.

Being a noobie, can anyone tell me if the above is otherwise true?

Cheers

Hi All,

Can somebody tell me where exactly can I locate the Gen Tag Link Chrono serial number? Is it laser engraved on the caseback or endlinks? Any owners with pics can post? Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

Just want to gather some opinions on the above mentioned watches. Thinking of getting a gen of either (Own both reps).

How does either watch hold their value?

In terms of styling, which is more of 'classic' and has a longer appeal etc.

Cheers

Oh well, I guess I have to keep looking!

Thanks Offshore!

Any recomendations from yourself where to get gen watches (bargain-able AD)? I assume you in Aus.. PM me details please if any.

Can only tell you that they ran a bunch of adverts about 12 months ago on ebay, but didn't sell much (if anything)

Have obviously got some AD connections, and based out of Melbourne, I think.

Offshore

You reckon if their items are overpriced?

I didn't realised I made a mistake

it's the 'thewatchclub'

not watchgroup. Anybody?

Hi All,

Am interested in one the genuine watches listed by these guys on ebay. They seem to have a website as well (Google search for URL). Just want to know if anyone has deal with them and the quality of their watches.

Cheerios

Hi,

Is it just me? I notice the "Start" and "Reset" button on the 2 and 4 O'clock on the Rep Tag is different from the original? Or ist this another version?

Cheers

I didn't know there was a 'creamy' color dial? My GT is the white dial as well and i guess it's not "255,255,255" white, but it's white

Hi section 8,

Just like in your pic, the inner dial is sort of creamy colour instead of white? Is yours a gen or rep?

Hello hello,

Received my second rep recently which is a Tag Link Chrono. Absolutely a gem!!.I know I have post this question on TRC, not trying to spam but just to ask a few around. Feeling curious as always, I went to the Tag website and had a look around. What confuses me is there seems to be 2 variations of the same Tag model number CJF2110.BA0576, Rep has CJF2110.BA0590 (one has "automatic" on the dial, one hasn't). I know it's a noob question, just want to know if anyone know or notice it?

Cheers,

Sorry guys. I mean if the watches are made to Rep?

Hi all,

Does anyone if any rep above watches and who stocks them?

Just to add another entry.

(although i always liked Visionaries and Centurions a little bit more.......not forgeting Thundercats, He-Man, Defenders of the Earth, Captain Planet, Pole Position, M.A.S.K., Bravestarr, Adventures of Ulysees, The Mysterious Cities Of Gold, Dungeons & Dragons, Jayce and the wheeled warriors, Samurai pizza cats, Dogtanian, Gummy bears, Captain Bucky O'Hare, Duck Tails........is it just me or is kids TV crap nowadays!????)

Hi and welcome!

Very good choice, I am waiting for that one too. May I ask you where you bought it and how long it took until it reached you? Ah yes, and in which country do you live?

Thanks

hoschi

Hi Hoschi,

I got from Trusty, he's great! Took around a week to down under.

Hi guys, thanks for all your reply. Will get the pics up as soon as I can. What special tools do I need to resize my bracelet? I can't wait to wear it!

Hi all!!

I am newbie to RWG, just got my PO today. I'm very inpressed with it. Just got a few noob questions on the PO though.

With HE value, how does it work? Mine is very tight, I can't seem to turn it.

Secondly, how do i remove the links from the bracelet (I know, this is an absolute noob question, just want to be sure how to remove it properly)

Cheers all
