I had one pop open one time and it was lost. I went to a jeweler and the woman had a dig around in the pins box and we found a replacement without too much trouble.

I'm sure someone here will give you one if you can't quickly find one locally.

Could the one you have be just a little stuck? Why don

I have an un-serviced (factory original) Gen Black Sub and the Cyclops is slightly crooked, and when I inquired I have had other gen owners say the same.

Slighly crooked can also = Gen.

Wait a minute...if you save up one hundred of thoses, can't you exchange them for a new Rolly?

In this case, I think it says more about the importance of having good, clear pictures than the difficulty of telling gens from reps. But as reps get better, the differences become less clear.

And yet those pics are showing a lot more detail than one could casually observe from a wearers wrist.

What does this say about the world of reps and frankens, if the best here still are not %100 sure.

It seems to me the average guy on the street hasn't got a snowballs...

Thanks for the pics The Zigmeister. How long are you going to make us wait.

Any suggested places to look for used omegas other than ebay? gen forums maybe?

Thanks!

Timezone is o.k. for second hand gen.

Stella photography as usual. Thanks.

Worth? No idea. I paid $75 plus shipping right after the auction was announced. If they are still available, Antiquorum can give you details.

The book is also available as a free downloadable .pdf file from their website, but the hard copy is much, much nicer.

Thanks freddy. Good reply.

Shiny! Freddy, can I ask what they are worth?

I have to agree with repaustria,

I see the polished out crown as a major detractor and that was my first impression.

someone got a hand cut off on a table saw? haha

Ouch

Looks like he tried to cut through the caseback with a hacksaw. Perhaps it was seized shut somehow and he wanted to get to the movement so he could put it up for sale.

I made the same comment, Greystash! "Space-Dweller". Ay. Awkward.

Heh great minds think alike Victoria...funny thing is now I can't get my mind off the Space Dweller. I really want my very own Rolex Space Dweller. Seriously...I want one

Heh...Space Dweller.

This will be invaluable to those like me, that are enamored by the Speedy's. Thanks very much Ev_; Great Contribution.

Your not into reps unless you own at least one shitinerand.

Well post us a picture of your pride and joy. Clearly the obsessed never grow tired of seeing them.

Thanks Stephane. A helpful review with excellent pictures.

I have this gen (2254.50)

It's a beautiful piece, the speedy band feels expensive on you wrist and is comfortable. The lume is bright enough when fully charged to see in the dark. And the crown when unwound feels strong and the movement winds smoothly. Mine is accurate as hell. One time I checked it and three weeks later it was less than 2 seconds out.

I think it's the next best thing to a Rolex Sub.

Definitely a rep..The bigger giveaway is the hangtag..Supposed to be a hologram crown and the green and yellow is off

Anyway, I've reported it so it's up to them now. Apart from the maxi the watch kind of looks good from the single shot.

I hate to see this happening in my own country though.

Hey Guys,

Is this a maxi dial? Is that correct for a black Sub?

~ Ebay Sub ~

I love the aged look, the strong character of this watch. Great effort polexpete.

Thinking of upgrading my 1680 to an MBW 93150 bracelet. I'd like to hear other's comments and opinions on the bracelet.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Whoops...I thought you meant upgrade to a Gen. Here is the post anyway.

I have the gen. I

It's hard to tell. What's that smell?

Thanks gioarmani, your insert looks every bit the real deal.
