Right. I have usually gotten mine (in Chicago) sooner... about a week or 10 days... Also, you might check the USPS website. Once it leaves China, there are no more updates on the EMS site. Good luck. I am sure you won't have a problem. J

No change for me... still loving the new-to-the-rotation Panda dial and black carbon/white stitch strap...

I do. Less overall 'switching' involved. But, I do see the merits of easily reading the time using the 'regular' watch hands.

I'd love to see this one. Wonder why there aren't more Bucherers available...

I usually use Meltonian neutral shoe cream, then just twist, bend, pull, and shake the sh@#$# out of it. Gotta break in/up those fibers, especially if it's new leather. Good luck!

Brand new (well brand new back from The Zigmeister!) Chopard GMT Panda here. Love it!

No, not a waste of post at all...

"Calm down, Francis..."

Just got mine back from The Zigmeister... running perfectly and I am really happy to have it back as a change from all the PAMs. Put it on a black carbon fiber strap with white stitching, which, IMHO, is perfect for the Panda dial version. Here are some pics (sorry about the so-so (read: bad) quality-- first try at watch photos and ambient light only...

Wow! And you did yours? I looked but couldn't find in the thread... maybe I missed it...

What about the cyclops? I thought that was a problem for double AR... no?

Ah... thanks!

Check it out: hxxp://cgi.ebay.com/Omega-Speedmaster-Automatic-3510-50_W0QQitemZ250178905690QQihZ015QQcategoryZ31387QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZVie Item Subdials look off to me...although the hrs subdial isn't tracking... maybe it's static... or am I off?

I originally thought mine had NO AR, but after I (just) got it back from The Zigmeister, I took another look. Pretty sure it has a very light AR... certainly has the tell-tale blue tint...But, it's not strong at all...

PM SENT

Rek001, do you mind posting or want to keep it in PM?

Yes, where DID it come from? And, Carlsbad, hope everything is fire-free there....

AND... Pug's absolutely right. This whole micro-thread is absolutely silly beyond belief. We landed on the moon. Jeez. Move on. Let's talk about the mob and JFK for a while...

You're right... I got over excited in the title. Notice the post just said "in space..." Don't really know if an Omega actually was on the moon, but micro-gravity for sure..

I just saw the Omega Seamaster (I think) that Jim Lovel wore in space in person. Really impressive to me just to think that a mechanical watch works so well without in weightlessness. Never been much of an Omega guy, but that really struck me. Amazing. Maybe I gotta go for an Omega next! Anyone know of any vintage reps around...loved the look of that 1960's chrono...

Makes sense... especially the pics! They look great.! But, still, boxes etc don't do much for me personally, even though I just buy reps for me because I love watches and tinkering needed to get them just right, not to impress anyone...but, I suppose I see the logic. Thx.

I've never quite understood why people want a box and papers for a rep. Can you help me get it?

Thanks! I will check him out for sure. Its a little far for me, so if anyone else knows anyone....

Topic title says it all: looking for someone local to work on watches for small things that don't need to go off to The Zigmeister. Would love to find someone with a pressure tester also. Am in Chicago but spend a lot of time in NY too, so that could work. Thanks for any help you all can give. J

Not sure about that. Just got mine in the US in 5 days... pretty good I think.
