I don't even know what to say. And she is going to create a generation of children believing it's ok to do this sort of thing.

You're making it longer by saying "this" twice.....

dang it I said "This this" I I guess guess that's that's why why there there is is a a preview preview post post

I have bought rep Oakley's from this place before http://www.andale.com/stores/sf_home.jsp?m...alstreetdesigns.

bought a few dozen and sold them at work for $10 apiece and made a few dollars. Nobody ever complained about the lens quality, granted they are not real Oaks but a good rep watch tells time the same as a gen.

I wore them for about a year until I started buying Panama Jacks at Wal-Mart for $10. Been pretty happy with them so I have not done the rep glasses thing for awhile. It appears that none of these sites are selling rep Oaks any more. I hear Oakley comes down on anyone who advertises them. They don't even let them get away with the "Similar Too" thing.

I desperatly need a few new sunglasses for MEN.

Can someone please recommend a good dealer.

Thanks in advance

Found this on YE forum:

This this thread short enough yet?

You will be very happy with that model.

Am I to late not to post here?

Smart ass eh

I posted this after receiving nothing but childish remarks from a number of members after asking a serious question. Not trying to hide it, it was in my original post if you had bothered to read it.

Sub4me jacked the thread, as he always does with this

I had not said a word till that point to Sub4me. He obviously was rude to both myself and Pugwash, with no intervention from mods. I didn't feel like getting into a pissing match with him so I suggested he look for Neil.

You forgot to mention that Sub4me had suggested that a posted image was in fact me with my head up Pugwash's ass.

Look, I'm a mid 40s guy in the financial industry. I own a half million dollar home, 3 cars, and have a gorgeous wife and two beautiful children. I think I deserve some respect. I'm sick of guys like you and Sub4me, who think that just because you are on the net you can say whatever the hell you please. Do you think him or yourself would have the courage to be so rude if you were standing in front of me? I think not. If you agree with Sub4me, maybe you'd better go back and join him and his frat house buddies. We all know who and what he is, and he is not welcome here.

I didn't think he was insulting you. I think he was merely pointing out how quickly the thread degraded.

My 2 pence.

Only one board banned me, and for stupid petty reasons.

Yes, I've decided I'm exceedingly annoyed by it as it cuts me off from some friends that don't visit any other sites.

I'll visit you

i cannot believe neil just referenced 'heathers'???

but he is right. they had begun to take their whole 'dark side' shtick far too seriously over there and the whole "the dealers are doing us a favor" vibe was getting tiresome

As one member PM'ed me, "you write a negative review and your the bad guy"

Humn, that maybe a clue?

But Klinky states he knows nothing.

funny really...:~(

huh, RWI up again down again....happening often lately for some reason.

He seems to do that alot

Paul?

Is this your Avatar here at RWG? I like it!

Decided to visit my original forum after the coup at RWI.

Maybe because I have never written a movement review? I have no skills to do those... I'm just a hobbyist. The Zigmeister takes care of all the complicated stuff.

I am BAD at fully reading. Because you posted the link I never bothered to look at the author.

My humble apologizes to The Zigmeisterzumba. You are the movement man!

David

Once again, here's THE link that everyone should always post (when responding to noobs' queries about Daytona). Why bother explaining it again and again... when it has already been explained (by the Man himself)?

http://www.rwg.cc/members/Movement-review-...at-6-t1414.html

I have read all your Omega reviews and for the life of me don't know why I never read your movement reviews. Read, read, and more reading. Best way to learn.

Thanks By-Tor

Just chucking my 2p's worth in here, but IMO the models without the broad silver subdial rings look better with the seconds@9 movement as it draws less attention to the mis-spacing. They are pretty tricky to find now though.

Gotta, These Daytona's appear to be a bear to get semi-accurate for around $200.

Unlike the Noobmariner or the Ultimate PO's.

The seconds are running at 9, but they should be running at six on the genuine watch.

I guess I am confused pre-2000 ran at 9 correct? I guess b/c this is a 2004 it should be running at 6 but isn't, right?

The vintage one is very nice looking, but it will probably have the older 7750? I could not say for sure, but you would want the newer 7750 version. The other watch you posted should not have the running seconds at 9. The subdial for running seconds should be at the 6 position for that watch. So the subdial spacing is wrong and the seconds are running in the wrong place.

If you just like the look of the watch then buy it for sure, but I would find the errors a dead give away.

Cheers

So on the dial it has the secs at 9, but it actually runs at 6?

King had this listed under the ASSIAN 7750 AT 9'CLOCK SECOND (maybe the two ss's in Asian is the give-away.

http://www.cclv.net/0.htm

Quoted $225 a couple weeks ago.

This is probably the most accurate pre 2000 seconds at 9 Daytona I can find here: http://www.wo-mart.com/product_info.php?cP...products_id=625

It has a Swiss 7750 and is expensive, you may be able to get it with an Asian 7750 for a lot less. Notice the thin hour markers, that is correct for the pre 2000 Daytonas. Also the subdials are correct, the 20/40/60 is at nine where it should be, although they are not spaced close together like the gen.

Cheers

OW! yeah I may not be quite there yet.

This is nice: http://www.wo-mart.com/product_info.php?cP...products_id=634

the one I like, although I am sure it is not very accurate: ROLEX DayTona 2004: ROASIA 7750 Movement / SAPPHIRE / STEEL / Waterproof 40m

What do you think?

Hmmmm... Yeah, I suppose you could say that I like the Daytona a little

So, really, you have a couple of choices for a sapphire crystal (modern and neovintage) Daytona-

Running seconds at 6:00 (the modified 7750 with seconds displaced to the 6:00 subsidiary) for the 116520/116509/116518/116519 etc. These are a bit touchy- The modification to the base movement to shift subdial output around requires 11 extra gears and much more strain on the movement having to push those extra gears (specifically the extra load required for the constantly running seconds subdial). Some watches have lasted over a year, while other last a few days. It's a bit of a game of chance. Aside form the movement issues, the case is quite thick to accommodate the modified movement - Bezel is taller, rehaut is deeper, caseback is deeper, and the position of the crown sits too far towards the caseback etc. A genuine 116520 for example is quite thin in relation at 12.4mm; so, this is a giveaway as to being a replica to anyone that knows Daytonas.

For seconds at 9:00, these are the 16520/16523/16528 models that are replicating the function of the Zenith El Primero. No modification necessary for the watch's functions, as the running seconds should be at 9:00, however, the subdial placement on these is typically spread out too far from the trademark closely grouped positions of the El Primero's subdials. The cases on these are about the right size (diameter and thickness), though, again, the crown is positioned too far back towards the caseback. For reliability, this one is probably a safer bet.

Now, personally, I did opt to build my own Zenith Daytona as Steve mentioned as the options out there just didn't satisfy. This was the solution that provided accuracy, function and longevity. The final product ends up costing a significant amount, but in the end, the results are about as close to a genuine 16520 as one can achieve without actually buying a genuine. The movement is the same base movement as what the genuine uses; genuine dials fit, as do hands with slight modification... Crowns, tubes, bezels, bracelets, rotors, bridges... To the eye, this one can truly be made 1:1.

Anyways... Just my $0.02... Weigh your desire for a Daytona with the cost you are willing to pay. If you want a long term keeper that will last through the generations, there is only one way to go (in my opinion).

Hope this helps

It helps alot. While I will probably not go the route you went, I am going to go with the secs at 9. I have my eye on one by King that has the Black Face with Red. I really love the look of that watch and don't know why. Actually I do know why, I love the look of it

Ubiquitous - In reading your posts you really seem to like the Daytona's. It is one of the two watches (Bond Omega the other) as my next watch. After reading and reading I am still unsure what's better Running @ 6 or 9. Do I want 28.8 eta or the new 28 Asian or the old beat Asian?

I was just going to PM Ubiquitous with this but decided hey, let me get everyone (who wants to reply) opinion.

Any help would be appreciated - David

I've seen these versions of the "America's Cup" and black SMP chrono replicas on several websites. I know the quality of this watch is very low, but the black SMP chrono is my favorite watch right now and I want a good replica. If anyone has any info on where to find one, please post or PM me, otherwise I'm buying the regular black SMP from a trustworthy dealer....

Problem is, it's another site talking about "Swiss" grade reps. http://www.1tictoc.com/product_info.php?products_id=611

I think you can get THIS (my link) watch from Silix or Paul or ..... for ~$200. They want $799.

Scam?
