  1. I've not measured mine - but I took 3 out of one side and 2 from another. The bracelet was really quite large, bigger than gen Sub. I made mine fit snug for winter and will use dive clasp for expansion
  2. Fresh off the slow-boat from China, the Master 300. Oiled up the bracelet and bezel, feels very nice.
  3. Here it is!!! Arrived today from Trusty-Watch. It's my first rep, and I have to say I'm super pleased. Feels great on the wrist, bracelet is very comfortable - don't think I'll swap it out yet. Please see attached pictures.
  4. http://bremerjewelry.tagheuereshop.com/ There you go, enjoy!
  5. Exactly! I just got my first rep today via Trusty, Omega Seamaster Master 300 - after having held the genuine version in the store, examined it and everything I must stay I am literally STUPEFIED as to how nice and accurate this watch is. I seriously couldn't be more pleased. The only negative is the miyota seconds hand is a little jagged in it's movement but I'm going to have my watchmaker friend strip it down and clean it up to see if that improves, but so far the timing is top-notch seemingly love love love it.
  6. My gen dealer here outside of Boston just had one, and sold it in one day. It was supposed to be their display piece, but long-time customer wouldn't take no for an answer.
  7. To quote Peter Griffin "Sir, here is a check with my name on it, put down any number and I will gladly pay it!!"
  8. Kidding...kidding... lhooq your contributions here that I've read have been fantastic and I personally thank you for helping to expand my mind when it comes to this stuff... Personally speaking, as someone who is really only familiar with watches and goods costing significant sums of money - clothes, watches, cars, furniture etc - pretty much all the daily accouterments we live with in the "luxury lifestyle" that spending $200 on a replica watch downright terrifies me. I cannot fathom it not just falling apart a week or two after wearing it, or having it be such a disgustingly cheap imitation that people silently (or worse, not) laugh at me for wearing it. Consequently, I don't own a single "replica" wristwatch and I came here to learn how to build a "Franken" out of (hopefully) largely genuine Rolex parts and a genuine movement. But as I've poured over these forums and seen wrist-shots of some of these replicas, I've become enticed. Downright smitten. I ordered one recently, an Omega Master 300, there's a popular thread going on it - and I think it's a pretty watch. I've held the genuine at our local dealer, so I'm *extremely* curious to see what this little $300 is packing. I mean... I've spent more on single straps than that. You all know in the world of "haute horologie" that price is extremely subjective and the sky-moon isn't the limit ;-) Part of what's drawing me to replica's is that quite frankly I cannot afford to be constantly switching out 4-5 figure wristwatches as my mood suits me. I change watches *a lot* those listed in my signature are pretty much what I alternate between and any sane normal reasonable person would be happy with one of those...the Rolex or Zenith in particular... I am not satisfied but I've realized my financial limitations right now in starting a new business and being a father. Reps for now, perhaps back to gens later, maybe I'll be converted and impressed enough by this Omega... Thanks for reading
  9. Beyond excited to get mine... it's on the slow-boat from China apparently haha
  10. Guys - just buy an Omega rep... they do it on their own, and quite quickly haha
  11. I really only trust PayPal these days....there's enough TD's that do PayPal you shouldn't have to mess with anything that seems shady.
  12. As someone who owned this watch, in genuine form, and having seen BK's.... I would suggest you get his. There won't be any nonsense with it and honestly for my eye, it's about as close as you're going to get and he's fixed up any "TD" mistakes...
  13. Stupifying!!! Really great work! congrats
  14. http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/117031-mbk-1680-aging/ Great post on aging
  15. Yes indeed they have gold two-tone, and blue I believe
  16. I would have to agree, it looks too far-gone now. One of the things I've always thought was cool about Rolex watches was how well they age... I have a 40+ year old Datejust that still looks brand spankin' new. That said, I know the cache of vintage looking watches, but I read a Hodinkee article about a guys pepsi GMT and he'd been all over the world with it, the watch was pushing probably 40-50 years old and it didn't look all that bad, nicely aged, not like it'd been through a fire. No offense.
  17. $12 for a PDF that's free on forums? someone is making out well here!... ;-)
  18. The new Omega Seamaster Master 300 Coaxial 8400 is damn close.
  19. Trusty-Time (Andrew) assured me he has and can get the correct lume as opposed to all one colour which is posted on his website.
  20. Oh man... WTF.... How did I miss that??? That's obnoxious. Maybe I can still cancel my order. I have been going back and forth between TW and PT so much, I must've just got confused. Ugh... Thanks for pointing that out, appreciate it.
  21. Really? That's not his profile?
