How about this one? A closed factory case with a gen 2230 (non -AC dial) and a PO bezel and insert. Built by @SSTEEL

Who won?

Send a photo to the TD’s and see what they have to say about it’s availability.

Yeah, you missed a good bbq yesterday lol

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.

All reps will have flaws. It’s best to research yourself as only you can decide which flaws you can live with and which you cannot.

Look through the trusted dealer section of the forum and you’ll find several dealers who can source great reps. Welcome by the way.

Glad to hear that Mike.

I’ve a friend who built a space bike if that helps. I can pm you his phone no. If it helps.

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.

^ loving the mesh

The reason for the toilet paper shortage is that one person coughs and everyone around them sh*ts themselves. In Brazil now for a few weeks. The locals have it right; Coronavirus is killed by alcohol so stay drunk.

Good choice.

Reps can be very reliable if serviced. Generally they can be waterproofed too if you use a good watchsmith. If you really want the Tudor then go for it, just be prepared to spend a bit more on servicing etc.

Just swapped from this - To this -

SSTEEL has already offers to help. He works on mine and currently has a selection of my reps and gens.

That’s so sad to hear Ken, my sympathy goes out to her friends and family and to you of course. Hopefully you’re wrong but it sounds unlikely. Sorry to hear the business is closing, my wife will be sad too but my pocket not so much! Take care and thanks for the years of hard work

On the whole, any of the trusted dealers can get any of the Omega from the factories. Have a look through the TD sections and find one you’re happy to deal with.

Modified Omega Seamaster GMT. With a PO bezel, Coke ceramic insert, smaller GMT hand, thin arrow second hand and an AquaTerra bracelet.
