who

I told them it is a rep but they don't believe me....I haven't find another person who has a gen ferrari to prove mine is not

Oh my gosh ..they cost you $80? I feel sorry for you. are those rep made in local (usa) ?

really depends on which part of the world u live... I asked a friend who has business in China and he told me it will cost ~24usd to send a pkg (~1lb) From China to USA (east coast) via EMS. If you think $30 is too much for a $98 watch....you can ask if the dealer willing to ship it by Registered airmail. The only different is no online tracking and will takes 4-6 more days.

$200 is the average price for 45mm PO. But if you target at "007" version...silix's is a bit cheaper than others.

What you said is every typical on almost any forum or online community....like many already pointed out....we are here because we enjoy watches, rep or gen. Like Ken said....stick around a bit longer, read more post/stories or even ask a question, I'm sure you will see the beauty of this place very soon. I'm only here for a few month and I already make some good friends, I don't know will I have a chance to meet them in person but they are my friends just like the one I see every week. We have the same goal here ............. Get the Best Sub

QC == quality control doa == dead on arrival btw....try take the pic again, they are too bury to see the details

She must be the youngest person wearing a PAM. I hear she says " this is my first Pam"

ttk is your friend for any mbw u may need

if it doesn't look like my pic....and has no marking whatsoever, what else can it be? Chinese movement then

Most dealers either send out your watch directly from China or they ship them oversea and then resell it to you. Only one or two dealer will make improvement on the watch himself before send it out to you; the best example is daivdsen, he mainly focus on Pam. I believe your watch is never been touch or improve by the seller....it just the same watch when they finished it in cn. Many dealers do offer "improve" version of the watch they carry....some is worth and money some is not. Homework is the key to get the most value. I attach a pic of my old exp2 which have swiss eta inside.....you can see the eta marking on the top of the pic. Hope you have it in yours. Btw....post a pic of your watch (new thread) Let's see what is it.

looks like it has shorter minute hand too......+ the 12/3/6/9 indices is a bit shorter too can we just buy the Omega symbol and swap it

@flamemax...you have the incorrect hand stack. Any idea what movement inside? sorry to say...but the buyer may "import" it from Japan but the watch is still made in China. When you have the pic...can you post it here or open a new thread to show us. @veja... do you have any pic? I'm curious to see the one from EL. thanks guys

I can see the dial much clear with the double AR .... I guess if the watch don't have decent dial it should not get this mod, am I right?

not sure about other made and model....as for rolex...especially sub...you can get one for 20~30usd in China. (the cheapest movement, of course) Guys...to be fair.....you can't really compare what you paid here in USA/EU to the cost in China/Thailand...etc Yes...you can get one in China for a fraction of the price but don't forget you need to pay $900+ for your Plane ticket to get there

@flamemax...sounds like you bought the GMT hand adjustable version (aka Incorrect hand stack). Do you mind to tell us which dealer you bought it from? pls post a pic after you got it

It may take longer if you shipped 2 weeks ago...... Most Govt office is close in China at this week due to "5/1 Labor day" aka "5/1 Golden week"

Thank you for the correction and also helping me to measure the pins size. is there any benefit to use Double Shoulder type or I should stay with Double Fl@nge? Thanks again EDIT....sorry mod, I never meant to use censor word

@Delta........Thanks for the site....they have everything! For spring bar.....I think I need 1.8mm x 20mm for PO and SMP, am I right? What about the bracelet tube/pin? What is the right size for 45mmPO and SMP Chrono? Not sure should I get the Assortment of 70 pc since I only need them in my Omega cuz the pin is not in good shape after I change the size for a few times thanks again ! who <---- who may good at fixing a car that has parts in centimeter or inch but fixing/repair a watches he better start to get used to deal with millimeter

ny, usa

Anyone know a good place or website which sell some good quality spring bar, bracelet pin? I want to buy a set of spare spring bar for my PO and replace some of the pin from the bracelet. thank you

try contact Marrickvillaboy, he is a great member here...a good watchsmith and a New Yorker too.

Can someone tell me where can I order some springbar as well as some pin for the PO/SMP? I would like to have an extra set of spring bar for both the SS bracelet and the rubber strap. Will 1.8mm x 22mm spring bar fit the SS bracelet or it is just good for the rubber strap? Thank you

while the chrono is running did you try to disengage the chrono function by pressing the Upper pusher? And then pressing the Lower pusher to Reset the chrono ? In case you are talking about the sub-dial at 9? that one is like the second hand in most watch and it should run at all time. The chrono is the one at 3 as well as the long yellow hand and it should only run when you engage the chrono function.

When I try to fix the bad Omega logo on my u.PO. I remember Marrick told me he can take out the Omega logo, shave the bottom and put it back for a better location, it involve lots of work but it is possible. Anyway at the end we decide to change the dial to fix the problem because that is more easy. Btw......Marrick did a great job on my watch.

if you think you need to own a Ferrari to wear a Ferrari watch...take a guess how many Ferrari watch OP will sell. Ferrari is not about Ferrari's car anymore.....it's an IMAGE of Professional Auto Racing, The most exotic sport car company in the world, 6 times F1 World Championship.....etc. You don't need to own a ferrari or bmw or toyota in order to put their polo shirt or cap on your body. People buy their merchandise is simply because they appreciate the success of that company or being a fans of the sports. who should buy the ferrari watch? if you like Ferrari if you like a good quality watch if you like auto racing if you like Panerai I own the Ferrari Chrono but not the car and I probably never will. May be I can buy a FIAT instead.
