captain swoop

I just Emailed Josh with an order

Website claims all kinds of things about all parts are interchangeable with the genuine watch etc.

Is it a good representation 'out of the box'?

CGs look a bit small to me but that might ne the oversize crown

If it takes gen parts than a crystal swap, different crown etc should see me ok.

How about the dial? swap or OK?

Good answer. I got into Reps because I have a Gen Omega Seamaster I wanted to keep nice but still wear one at work.

MBW?

Omega PO quartz is not a "high-end" watch. It's an overpriced piece of junk with idiots as owner. Producing it is compared to selling a plastic bag with LV insignia on it for 3000$, and owning one - to cutting a hole in such a bag and wearing it to work as a shirt. Frankly speaking I'm a bit disgusted by Omega's pricing of that watch.

I support what freddy said on this topic. If all you need is a cheap watch that resembles the original, but not in an accurate manner, and keeps great time - by all means buy a quartz. I think it's a good solution for someone who doesn't want to spend on a watch and doesn't require design accuracy.

I don't agree, pricing of any Omega or Rolex is is stupidly high for what you get. Quartz Omega will be as well made as the Automatic and will keep better time. Just because you don't like a quartz watch doesn't mean it's any more over priced than any other Omega.

One of the main 'Tells' of a Quartz movement is the second hand 'jumps' a second at a time rather than 'sweeping'

Omega to a Quartz fersion of their Seamaster, so it's not just 'low end' watches that use them

WSO Bezel? Who are WSO?

Don't knock the DG Movement. I have a 'Sterile' GMT Master II with the DG Movement I am going to use as my first Mod attempt. It has the DG Movement, I compare it's time every day with my PCclock and a very accurate Rotary Chronospeed Quartz. It is always within 3 seconds of both.

Airmail to wherever you are.

I go a reply for my question asking to see the back. He says he dosn't have a picture and it is 'unmarked'

Look at his feedback, all low cost tat then suddenly a flash Rolex? Alarm bells?

I asked if he has a picture of the case back and side opposite the crown.

Isn't the position of the HE valve the giveaway?

In Europe perfume, watches etc are all subject to the same laws to a greater or lesser degree depending on the country. In most of them it's a Civil thing and the companies Lawyers would take you to court for damages and seizure of the goods if you tried to import them. In the UK there is only the SKy TV thing I can think of and even that is the 'Commercial' contract users, places like Pubs where they have to purchase the expensive licnse for public viewings. There's no way a home user could be traced but if a Pub or Club starts offering Live Football and they haven't got a license from Sky they will clobber them.

Cheers

The question is in the title realy. When did Rolex start engraving the Rehaut?

I have to say I don't know and have never met anyone who would be able to tell the current reps from original.

I wear my original Omega and a Rep and no one has noticed at all.

I have a Gen Seamaster. I got into Reps because I wanted a replica to wear when I go fishing or I am working so I don't mess up the Gen.

There are various companies that protect sales in different countries by prohibiting import of their products from elsewhere. It doesn't just happen in the USA. France have upheld similar 'grey' import bans and so have a few other European countries, Even though it is against the 'Free Market' It was decided by the European Court that it doesn't go against the rules about free markets and restriction of trade crazy as it may seem.

In the UK you can't watch English Premier League Football if you get it from any source other than Sky, they have sole rights to live transmission in the UK. even though you can get (for example) a sat reciever that will pick up the Greek signal if you use it to watch the live football they will prosecute.

I don't know, Ken. It's now legal for the US military to seize and hold US citizens indefinitely without charge. I wouldn't mind seeing everyone who worked on that law charged with treason.

No it isn't.

He's had it as long as I can remember.

My dad has one of those

I use a Zippo myself but my 'other half' insists on gas so she doesn't 'smell up her purse'

Any suggestions for a good one?

I know it's an oldish thread but it just seemed to cut off with the WD-40 question and was left hanging.

I like retro gear.

I have half a dozen 1950s - 60s suits, they are all Bespoke when they were made and a local guy adjusts them for me. I collect old Flying Jackets as well so I could easily spend £5000.

I have some genuine WW2 A2 Jackets that are too prcious to wear so out and about I wear replica jackets by www.aeroleatherclothing.com or www.eastmanleather.com Both UK companies but they make the best replica US jackets.

For anything else these are the folks to check out Magnoli Both UK companies but they make the best replica US jackets.

For anything else these are the folks to check out www.magnoliclothiers.com

They have suits, overcoats, shirts (all bespoke) hats boots, shoes etc.
