  1. Found the green one on the bay. Be sure to read full description of the insert sizes so they will fit your case without any issues. Good luck
  2. Get the UPO from either Trusty, Josh, Angus....Silix has his version with the correct Omega emblem, but there's differences in his dial as well.
  3. Not even close. The lugs should be 20mm on the 42 model, not 22mm (that's for the 45mm). Datewheel is off (used on asian movements, not Swiss), insert, and on and on and on...... FYI - There's no Ultimate 42mm, unless you mod it with gen parts - then there's your Ultimate.
  4. Thanks....I swapped my black insert on my original Swiss PO v4 with an orange insert. Loved the look of it, but I am really digging the green insert.
  5. Feeling a little empty since I parted with my modded PO v4 about a month or so ago, I decided to get another one. Picked up the Asian version from Trusty. I know it has flaws - don't all reps but nonetheless, I already had some mods in mind: - Swap the mineral crystal with a thick sapphire crystal w/ Chief's new double A/R - Swap out bracelets to include the engraved clasp - Swap inserts - hence the fantasy. I know Omega doesn't make a PO with a green insert, but after swapping inserts for a green insert (picked up on the bay), Omega should really look into it - IMHO. I really really love the watch - getting more wrist time than my modded Fraken UPO - Fraken UPO Onto the pics (not the best)
  6. Talked to ET and he says "very soon".
  7. If this dog didn't shed, it would be the perfect dog - my Cavalier King Charles Doesn't Bark Very Affectionate Very Obedient Loves to eat, sleep and sh*t
  8. Welcome 007. Currently, no matter how good the reps are, they will have some type of flaw(s). Some you can live with, some you cannot. I woudl advise you to review By-Tor's excellent Guide to Omegas (see the link within the Omega section). His guide will provide you with the answers that you are seeking. They never paid their property taxes so the bank took seized their property and sold it. Currently, there is a KFC at the former site and plans are in the work to expand to include a drive through. Hope that helps.
  9. Dave - My heart goes out to you and your wife. A loss is never easy.
  10. Dont fall in love with it, please ! Keep in the good ol watchbox to collect dust. LOL Beautiful piece. Wear it well my friend.
  11. Ubi - I'd be more than happy to take your modded Sub off your hands for ya
  12. I beleive this is the one that Angela from Ioffer was selling. Looks great with the gen dial. Im surprise that Francisco used a mineral crystal. Even more suprise that Chief double A/R a mineral crystal - didn't think he would. Overall, one of my favorite watches. Wear it well.
  13. Jsut received mine yesterday. Yep, it was a b*tch to remove the spring bars. Since I didnt have any luck with my spring bar tool, I used a tiny screwdriver to remove the spring bar. Once removed - endlinks were removed too. Good Luck.
  14. If its a true ETA movement and they have the correct HE valve, CGs, better crowns, correct dial, etc., I wouldn't be suprised if the price would be over $300 (just like the Steelfish). Im sure it would be called the Ultimate SMP (I thought I had the rights to call my SMP the Ultimate) and that it was made from gen comparision, 1:1 ratio, etc.
  15. What about a Cartier Tank?
  16. Awesome collection L. And I thought I was an Omega freak Gotta love Chief's new double A/R. My Fraken UPO looks amazing:
  17. Theres actually one for sale in the tools & parts section right now.
  18. Are you able to print out one for comparison purposes? If there as good as Lello's, I'd be interested in one for sure.
  19. True, the double A/R is prone to scratches here and there if you are not careful with the watch. However, I did notice that my double A/R on my flat crystals do not scratch compared to the double A/R on my round crystals.
  20. Hard to tell, but isnt the crown alot bigger than the gen crown? Looks like the CGs weren't modded either. Again, dumb dumb dumb if that person did post a rep on a gen forum. Why? If ya want to fool someone, fool your 2 year brother or sister.
  21. Search the forum and of course, By-Tor's Omega Guide. Additonally, the best rep is a modded rep, right?

    My PO

    SSS - congrats on the UPO. Looks awesome. Wear it well. BTW - Just got back from visiting the ol country. Was in Rome for 5 days. very very beautiful.
  23. Is this your second time sending it back? I have read many posts where members had issues with their crowns not screwing down properly (hmmmm ). No, but seriously, I would definetely contact Silix once again and let them know about the new watch. Dealers are usually good at working with buyers (dont want to burn any bridges with anyone and wants repeats buyers).
  24. Zig- Glad to hear everything is OK and that there is no permanent damage. Take easy and hope you make a full recovery.
  25. Awesome. This is like the 4-5 watch that got delivered to the US/Canada within 5 days or less. Unbelievable. im ready to pull the trigger on the Skyland very very soon.
