... idk... the 42 is really nice (i own two)
the bracelet seems to be the weakest link (no pun intended)...if i could replace that with a gen or a really nice substitute...i'd be damn near perfect.
...this is my second time buying from Paul...and i must say that other than a bad movement in this second order i've been extremely satisfied.
the timepieces are always excellent, visually, but this recent one was not ticking when it arrived.
but i am patient... i'm sure Paul will live up to his reputation and assist with an exchange.
i was fortunate to get a very sound issue of Paul's 5th version 42.5 P.O. and for the past year i have been immensely pleased with it... so much so that i would love to buy another just like it... unfortunately it is no longer listed on his site... i had considered getting a 4th version from Andrew but i'm kinda picky about the Omega logo being so close to the lettering.
also... i got a replacement bracelet from Andrew several months ago... and was a bit disappointed to find it modestly scuffed up when it arrived.
what should i do?
i was browsing Paul's site earlier and couldn't help but notice the 5th version 42.5 P.O. isn't listed anymore... i still have the last one i got and it's been my favorite piece (although it has taken it's share of abuse) ... i'd love to get another from him, i know the other dealers maybe just as good (if not better) ... but none of my other reps looked quite as good out of the box or stood the test of time. :(
how complicated is it to replace the bezel... i heard that there was a possibility that a special tool may be needed to press the bezel on?!
if so... would it be an expensive thing to have a jewler do?!
does the gen bezel fit the 5th version rep?! i would seriously consider buying a gen bezel from offrei if that's the case...
i realize that's a pricey choice... but if you want genuine looks... and genuine durability... it sounds worth it to me.
what's the easiest way to lume the new pearl if i were to use the DIY tutorial?!
i love this rep... but the bezel has always been the one thing i was iffy about...and now the pearl on the bezel has fallen of and i've lost it... what can i do to get this fixed?!?
