beware of the fakes

another way to tell: on a gen the numbers 15, 30 and 45 on the bezel fit from edge to edge. on the rep there is about a 1mm space to the edge. this can easily be spotted

or how about 190 feed? 190ft with steelfish

the forwarding service is the only way to go, unless you have a personally known friend helping you out. you want to protect yourself and the other person would want to be protected too. I would hate to have your package arrive and then have the feds knock on my door holding 12 guns into my face and telling me: "Sir, move slowly away from this package" or how about I receive your package, take all the goodies out and replace them with a stone and send it to you. Good luck in getting the goods you ordered. go with the forwarding service.

that's correct. anlaufgesch

you guys are tooo funny. they don't know that this is a fake and this looks just the same as the other four that are worn by actors and people working on the set. it's because Alfonso the audio guy has a cousin whose brother in law is a jeweler. he got a package deal on wholesale and ordered 5 Subs for a total of 10K. that's half the price they would have paid any place else. Alfonso still gets watches of any kind to the actors who are interested in saving a buck or two.

So, I wonder why you felt the need to make sure there is a topic about her on this form then?

can anyone recommend a watch repair technician in Palm Beach, Broward or Miami Date County who will not screw me with charging $500 for it? I have a gen Rolex 1675 that I flooded and needs to be serviced. I also want him/her to water seal a rep (Omega PO or Rolex SDW) I plan to buy. thanks David

where did you get the impression that I would think to get the same standart from a rep as from a gen? not me, I wear my gen (GMT1675) fro the past 15 years for anything I do, incl. diving, up until a couple weeks ago when I left the crown open and went on a dive - result-not good thanks for the advice, I will make a post looking for a local watch repair technician it's not about how deep you go, it's about how good you look doing it. who, has the breitling actually been taken down that far? - just kidding

I'm really interested in this watch, so I send an email to most of the reputable dealers about the water resistance of this watch. a couple say it can be "upgraded" to 50m for $50.00. one says for $50.00 he can guaranty 30m and another says it already comes sealed to 50m (can I trust this one?). :cc_confused: is 50m all this watch can be sealed for? I see that many rep watches (or actually most of them) are not rated to go SCUBA diving with and yet, any $30.00 watch that I can buy today at wally world will easily go down to a 100ft. what gives? these reps still cost $100-$400 and are not very water resistant and then seem to be able to only get upgraded to 50m? I mean I walk around with a watch that is a known diver watch and I have to take it off when I go on a 50ft reef dive? this alone will tell all my buddies that I have a fake. OK, back to the Omega PO should I buy this watch without paying to get it water proofed and do it myself, is this difficult to do? or should I just pay the extra $50.00 and trust the dealer that it will go to 50m or buy it from the one who says it's already good to 50m? is there any good dive watch like this one or the "perfect" seadweller that can go further down than 50m? I mean if the gen SDW is rated to 4000fsw, a rep. for 1/10 of the money should be good to 1/10 of the rating (400fsw) any known record what depth great looking rep. has been taken to? BTW, thanks for such a great site and I will still have a lot of reading to do, but couldn't find the answers to these questions.
