  1. Well, if the price stay around 250 usd, its a 1/4 of the price... And sometimes i think is better use a rep of a mid-range watch (like aquaracer and seamaster) than a rep of a 50k and limited series...that u obviously never have money to buy.

    BTW beautifull watch. I seen on a AD sometime ago.

    +1

  2. Is it due to the printing the day/ date sometimes are crooked? Did you do this mod yourself? How did it turn out?

    try a forum search for 'ETA date wheels'

    the quality of printing can be a very marked improvement from the photos i have seen posted on the forums

    not sure if thats the only problem fixed by them though

    i may find out more if i decide to upgrade my aquaracer when it arrives :)

  3. Just a warning... This watch is a candidate for sunken datewheel problem.

    Nope, I have not seen the rep but I can predict it will happen (due to extra gear to make Tricompax layout on Asian 7750).

    cheers, don't think there is a high quality rep of this out there yet though

    its in my top three for potential gen buy one day, if i can get a good price for one of my kidneys

  4. You guys are confirming my original thoughts, I think the stainless is the way to go indeed.

    By-Tor mentioned the polished middle links (either here or in the wristcheck thread) and as subtle as they are they do make a statement.

    sorry to revive an old post but i def think a black dial works with RS but blue should be with SS

    doing a little research as i am going to go for a Black RS Asia 7750 model from Trusty

    had a 42mm Orange PO SS for a while (got stolen in a break-in)

    i loved that watch but it was always too dressy for day to day, attracts too much attention from scally scum ;)

    the low key look with RS may be just what i am after

  5. I just ordered my first Omega.

    ...When I bought my first rep this summer (a Breitling Navitimer) you guys said it would not be my last. You were absolutely right....

    How long does it usually take for Andrew's stuff to arrive? I've never ordered through him before.

    heh heh, i know the feeling, its been a year since my first purchase due to life being busy but i have been thinking of my next purchase ever since

    Andrew is reliable, to UK it takes a few weeks sometimes due to the odd customs issue, not sure about US

    i'm eyeing up a PO chrono at the moment :)

  6. Seriously TT, take care :unsure:

    Even if you're not in the Shed End, and 'undercover' (no wearing anything Red) if Liverpool score or Fat Frank/Didier LadyBoy dives for a penalty or something similar and you blow your cover, you'll be removed by the stewards....and that's the best case scenario, it could get ugly :black_eye::inv:

    yup officially you aren't meant to be there so be on your guard for the stewards and if the game turns against the russians the chelskis are likely to report you if they have doubts :(

  7. Wear it well. I have the black version and it's a great watch. One thing that bothered alot of people with this version is the placement of the Omega symbol (previously, it was not corretly positioned - too closed to the word Omega). But your's seem to be positioned correctly.

    Question - on your insert using the pic above, is there only side of the black triangle with the orange outline?

    thanks :)

    yeah only one side of the triangle has the orange outline which is a shame but doesnt stand out in practice really

    i think the tach 'ticks' covering the first 15 of the bezel sort of distract the eye from that

  8. Its the nickel plated ETA, in my experience a really nice smooth movement thats going great for me for over 6 months. My "favorite" movement!

    thats good to hear, cheers!

    i forgot to mention for those interested in getting one of these that the lume seems very good to me and meets the expectations generated by ByTor's great review
