  1. upon what meat hath they fed that they have grown so big?

    the truth? ...Accessability, they have a website which takes CC#'s, to the casual buyer.. that > any WU, paypal, etc etc..

    my preferred dealer is neither.. although my first purchase (Swiss ETA UPO) was from Andrew and that was because of what I said.. accessability.. to the casual buyer/mass market buyer.. ease of use > everyone else

    that's why they get a lot of 'business'

  2. Well the crystal is here and fitted!!!!!!!!!!!!Wow it is [censored]ing gorgeous!!!

    It is the exact dimensions of the rep upo crystal but way better clarity regardless of the AR coating. It pushed straight in with no problem whatsoever. The result is breathtaking in my opinion and has transformed this watch now.

    Maybe this topic should be pinned!

    I think it should be pinned or linked smoewhere cuz this is as good a mod as any, imnho..

    thanks for this watcher.. time to undergo this project.. probably my last one this year

    i need to shut it (spending) down and shut it down hard.. so yes, my last project this year as i am more than content with my current collection

    gen po crystal = $169 + mod price.. that's gonna bump me to around $400 total again

    GAH GAH BLEH BLEH GAH :cry:

  3. i could be wrong but i think the general rule is if the watch has little or low ar, white dials would be best.. or something like that

    here's a new acquisition and I don't know if it has AR (doubt it) but it is so unbelievably clear irl that in my opinion.. it doesn't need any.. maybe the dial plays a factor who knows.. but seriously, the presence or lack thereof of AR doesn't effect the impact this watch makes at all

    :huh:

  4. I think you need to name names here: something doesn't sound right relative to the customer's side of the story.

    He tried to blackmail you by 'outing' out on the forum in order to receive free services - I'd like to see his justifications in writing here for such an aggressive and uncompromising attitude.

    i agree, sounds like a shady individual utilizing anonymous internet to its fullest, shrug him off chris

    he not worth it and who is he

  5. Ahh, the PO. Have always been my next purchase, but for me being paranoid that someone, somewhere, out there is going to call me out, I am waiting for a good deal to come up on our GEN alter ego forum.

    And this dainty for dinner (the wife loves it) [gen]

    I know the dates are off; these are my archive photos!

    ooo, that's a Timewalker model!!! ^^ if i may ask, how much are the gens?

  6. TomRiddle,

    Fellow Brooklynite I see? :thumbsupsmileyanim: I'm from Bay Ridge. Did you hear about the tornado? Since I wasn't in town, I wanted to know about the damage.

    the damage was bad for the area in BK that got hit, otherwise most of the damage came frmo the "flooding"

    LI and the subways/NJ were badly badly hit, people couldn't make it to work, commute hell

    same ole same ole :p but yea, in BK the part it touched trees were uprooted and whatnot

  7. Ahh, the PO. Have always been my next purchase, but for me being paranoid that someone, somewhere, out there is going to call me out, I am waiting for a good deal to come up on our GEN alter ego forum.

    The HBB's never disappoint me, although now I've got the chrono reset problem. :wounded1:

    I know the dates are off; these are my archive photos!

    :p no one's gonna call you out on the UPO.. it's an amazing rep plus .... it's an Omega so it ain't like a Rolex..

    Rolex = first thing people think "is it fake?" LOL not with the Omega..

    at least, that's the way I see it... I think you have less much less.. so little risk of being called out with the UPO

  8. OK dammit, changed to my UPO :lol:

    :bicycle:

    :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    :victory:

    you know what I noticed about the UPO.. it has a "magnetic" quality to it.. an appeal if you will and I don't really know of any other watch that has it.. not even the gorgeous HBB.. it's Aesthetically pleasing but I don't get an urge to put my own when I see others have it..

    but the UPO? people start postin they wrist shots and scene shots of the UPO and it's like I'm thinkin "hmm.. gotta put mine on too"

    lol ^^ just mnho :black_eye:

    Beware something wicked this way comes! :p

    ..the HBB's never cease to amaze me! great pics!

    I was all set to wear my RG+CER and took new pics with at least an indoor white balance setting (makes it not look so YG)

    UPO Swiss ETA, doesn't matter what the weather or circumstances may be--Can't go wrong with it :D

  10. My crystal shipped today from US to UK so there is a slight chance of delivery before the weekend on Global priority service. Can't wait and will update with pics as soon as possible guys!

    I decided having read Carlsbadrolex's experiences to just swap out the crystal and leave the dial and movement as is. I do this myself so don't have top rely on a watchmaker.

    -waiting anxiously-

    help us watcher kenobi, you're our only hope!!!

    please let us know how it goes and piiccsssss :thumbsupsmileyanim:
