@NaviChief that’s lovely. I have a closed factory case from the 40th anniversary Bond that has been built into a ProPlan - hybrid Seamaster Pro case with PO bezel and second hand. Fantastic quality cases that are so close to Gen. I also have franken 2531.80 that I want to mid further. The HEV position isn’t too bad but it still bugs me so I may have the HEV removed and the hole welded up and the re-drilled in the correct position.
What caseback do you have on your 40th?
I’m just playing with him now guys. He’ll accept PayPal too..... if I fund it from a credit card I shouldn’t have any issues ....... but if it seems to cheap then it inevitably is! I’m not paying but you see how some people get suckered in.
I have a want to buy posted and was contacted by a new member. He advised that his friend is selling what I’m looking for. Seems a scam, but let’s play along. I asked for a tagged photo and received this. I’m using my phone and I’m not 100% convinced. Does this seem photoshopped? Clearly the price is too cheap for a gen but .......
Beater GMT today. So much inaccurate with it: HEV placement, black not blue (Omega only made blue in this model) poor finishing between the lugs, milky domed crystal etc, but I love it for its faults l
That one has a closed case back so if it’s an ETA clone it ‘should’ be good to go. If you buy it then you either just wear it until there’s a problem with the movement and then get it serviced (that’s what I do) Or send it to a watchsmith for a service when you buy it so it prolongs it’s life.
I agree with everything that @Sogeha says. You will have to get to know people with contacts over many years, building relationships and trust. It won’t happen overnight or even over months. I would, if I were you, move on to something else to make money or just engage with the community here and enjoy it as a hobby.
Not the best news with Corona virus but here’s an opportunity for people to make the most of the situation with a great member and vendor. Keep safe Mike.
