It'sAboutTime

I wish mine looked that good. I'm thinking about replacing it. Who did you order this one from, if you don't mind saying?

I think there would be loads (and I mean LOADS!) of interest in the SD, but the YM has been seen before.....

If anybody's taking notes, you can put me down as one of those who would definitely be interested in a SD.

I hear ya mate, these noobs are getting worse and worse, with trades between members also, so I can only imagine what you poor dealers have to deal with day in day out! They are a serious threat to the hobby, its not worth putting up with peoples [censored] for such margins.

I'm at the point I'd almost rather give away a rep than try to sell it to the noobs on the forums these days.

Seems like everyone thinks they're buying at Sears or Walmart.

Here we have two textbook examples of the join date elitism and extreme group think that make this forum suck. All noobs are bad. Don't sell to noobs. Noobs are all the same. Noobs ruin the hobby. Blah, blah, blah. Feel free to take that broad brush you paint with and shove it up your ass.

This can be addicting, I want another watch.

You have the sickness. But not to fear, you've found a safe haven here at RWG, where you can share your experiences with fellow sufferers.

How about the new Datejust II with smooth bezel?

I highly recommend the NATO straps from Timefactors in the UK. http://www.timefactors.com/nato.htm

I've seen guys on this forum who have been members for many years with thousands of posts and their posts are generally useless and annoying.

I couldn't agree more. Several posts in this thread are proof positive of that.

I must say.........I've been a member of many forums covering a variety of topics over the years, but none compare to this one in terms of the number of people who think join date and/or post count are the be all end all when it comes to determining whether or not someone knows what they're talking about. You never know who's behind a screen name. That "noob" may have forgotten more about a subject than you ever knew.

In fact, I'd be willing to bet that if he had mentioned the dealer's name he would have been blasted with more criticism than he's getting here now.

Another comment that's right on the money. In the short time I've been here, I've seen quite a few members unmercifully attacked because they dared to make a legitimate complaint about one of the favorite dealers. I think one poor soul had to go into hiding in order to keep his neck out of the guillotine. I sure hope I never have a problem with a dealer.

I just ordered a super lume Sea-Dweller (with all it's flaws) and now there might be a TC version in the works? Sigh.

Well done! Thanks for putting this together.

I've purchased two reps so far, a Planet Ocean and a Ceramic Sub, and both of them are better quality than the Alpha I bought last year.

Wonder what happened to the white seconds hand on that watch???

Good question. It needs the white hand. The black one is a little tough to see. Here's the red dial version:

There's a better picture floating around but I can't remember where I ran across it.

I don't care for rubber straps. This one, however:

:wub:

These pre-paid credit cards, do they work for international transactions (from the US)?

Yes and no. The temporary prepaid card you get at the store will not work for international transactions. After you register the card with your personal information, they will mail you a permanent card that you can use for international transactions.

The tube on my 42mm PO is also threaded on the outside.

I've just fallen in love with a watch winder.

I agree that dealers should pay return shipping for DOA watches but I don't know how they could arrange it. I wouldn't expect anyone to send a replacement without getting the defective one back first. Dealers would send replacements and never hear from some of the buyers again. Meanwhile, the buyers have the original watch on their wrist and the replacement up for sale locally or on the forums.

Looks to me like your Daytona build took the right turn. Had everything gone according to plan, you wouldn't have ended up with this beautiful Speedmaster!

I just looked at pictures of more than 20 different "gen" PO's on Google and every one of them had the same "20". Maybe mine is a gen!

My 42mm PO has the same issue with the 20 and the 50 is a little off as well. I noticed it a couple of days after receiving the watch and of course I also did a Google image search to see what the gens looked like. I was surprised to see that the gen bezels have the same "flaw". I'm guessing that it's an unavoidable result of printing on a curved surface.

A Ceramic Sub is next up for me. I haven't decided on anything beyond that just yet.

The gens that I've seen all have happy feet on the clasp logo.

The PO I just received from Josh has happy feet on both sides of the Omega logo on the clasp. I bet yours will too.

I got mine from Perfect Clones/Josh.

That was me last week. Checking the tracking several times a day.....waiting and waiting some more.....then cursing the holiday for delaying delivery. Finally, it arrived and since then I've only taken it off to shower and sleep. It's a beautiful watch. You're gonna love it.
