  1. Pams dead? um... ok
  2. You ordered this watch with a jubilee??? eww.. can't see that at all.. aside from the fact that I hate jubilee bracelets in general... haha.. why can't you just get a brushed/polished combo Milgauss or Datejust bracelet with the comfort lock clasp like in Condemore's fotos?
  3. What's the point of posting this thread.. just telling us to wait for pictures? why not just wait till you have pictures and then post a thread? sheeeesh Why you gotta give us blue balls like that!!
  4. By "wokky" he means that the inner rehaut ring,(the metal ring between the dial and crystal... is angled in towards the dial. A gen GMT would have a rehaut that was a bit more cylindrical and would have such angular sides.. (like a WOK).. The PO.. does appear to be a UPO from the second hand.. It's still hard to be 100% sure because your shirt is blocking a crucial part in determining whether it's a PO.. THE HE VALVE! Do you have any head-on shots of the watch but without the HE valve being covered by your shirt?
  5. pm sent PrDubis. I'm also still a bit skeptical..
  6. google it... it's called watchbitz.com you'll find it no problem. Offshore is the member's name and he's a stand up guy. I'm working with him on a group project right now. He's got the best tools around and pretty good prices.
  7. You forgot an important strong point of the V1... IT CAME WITH SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL!! Overall.. your assessment would be correct. I'm not sure if the new updated V3.. (why don't we just call it a V4?? ) Is a V2 with a V3 dial.. Until i have one in my hands i'm not able to assess it. The v2 cg (at least mine) was horribly constructed and didn't sit flush against the case. The "V4"s i've been seeing popping up around here look to be pretty flush and snuggly fitted to the case. The CG lever also looks to be a little better fitting than the V2's... The cg's shape also appears to be 95% perfect.. Polishing the cg pin would be an awesome mod for this new "V4" watch. p.s. It also looks that many of these new 7750 watches are coming from the factory with the rotor screw modded (similar to francisco's mod) so now it doesn't looks like a toothed rachet gear...
  8. confused.. I thought K2222 was Jakub... Polish guy. Rocketeer is in England... they're the same person!???
  9. looks radioactive!
  10. like "loc-tite". you should put a light coat of silicone or threadlock liquid on the screw threads so they don't fall out or come loose.
  11. De nada hombre!
  12. AHH.. look on the underside of the clasp and you'll see that this side of the bracelet is attached to the clasp with a spring bar.. There is a micro-adjustment feature integrated into the clasp. Depress the spring bars and move the bracelet out of the clasp one or 2 notches and you will have access. If you depress and pull the bracelet at the same time (gently) you can also detach the clasp from the bracelet.
  13. If both watches are serviced.. they will last you a lifetime. The accuracy issue has nothing to do with the quality of the movement.. it's a simple question of regulation. If you get your watches serviced (which i HIGHLY reccomend doing regardless of movement), you can also get it regulated. In general.. it is acceptable to have a watch gain or lose 30seconds/day. Expecting the watch to be only +/-1 or 2 seconds per WEEK is not likely even for a GEN with COSC standards.
  14. Yes I can see in your fourth pic that you have at least one or two links with screws in them. Unscrew the screws.. remove the link.. and reassemble... Literally a 2 minute job on this bracelet
  15. pretty smart on his part.. is he one of us...?
  16. The guy selling is pretty honest and calls it a very "convincing" watch. So it's not as if he's trying to pass it off. Should it still be reported to Ebay? I'm in a moral dilemna here! what thinks you!??? http://cgi.ebay.com/110529085243
  17. true true...
  18. I've noticed that as well. Seems the crown gaurd on this new V3 has been improved! not like my horrible "D" shaped cg!
  19. man.. what's the story on this guy?? i don't recall this scammer!? Pay him a visit and let him know you mean business! (which watches did he snab of yours slayer?
  20. Actually the UPO doesn't have double AR. it has single sided inner AR. It happens to be VERY noticeable when next to the gen. Apart from AR.. his observations weren't very sharp and missed some HUGE glaring errors like you mentioned!
