BL02004 Superocean Steelfish SS Black Swiss Eta 2836-2

[bL02004] $358.00

Thanks!

Just as an fyi.....

Recent RWI - JAndrew issues

But from what everyone has said, there doesn't seem to be any issues with the movements... just don't take the waterproof claim to heart, hehe!

My next piece!! Hehehe, now if I could only find one here in the states that someone would want to part with.... they're such a nice watch nooone wants to get rid of it once they've worn it, hehe!!

Anyone have any personal experience with this watch and verify it really does come with a Swiss ETA? Lots of reviews just have not seen anyone confirm it actually has a Swiss ETA and not some crappy asian motor.

Thanks!

All depends on where you're purchasing it from, and which level as there are a couple different versions of this watch.....

Here Here!! Let's see a decent rep of this already!!

Cool thread.

Side note on the Omegas used in Casino Royale (and most movies where a sponsored brand is used), the watch company provides both "hero" props as well as "stunt" props.

The Hero props are real working watches that are used in the extreme close-up shots and the "stunt" props are typically nothing more then cases with dials and hands attached but not working watches. The actors and stunt doubles will wear these during action scenes as well as for distant shots.

Most movies do the same with other props such as firearms and swords. You'll have a closeup hero which will typically be real and the stunts which are normally either resin, plastic, rubber, or wood.

Hey!! I didn't know you were over here as well Gav!!

OTOH, they do torch pricey cars all the time, don't they. I still pine for that 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California in Ferris Bueller.

You do know that the 250GT in Ferris Bueller's Day Off was a replica right??? A very nice California Coach custom IIRC....

I don't want to be unkind to anyone here, but I am with Corgi. I frikkin hate people who wear Fossil watches. Invictas I can understand. Swatches are kitschy.

But Fossils are ugly, and wannabe cool watches for people without imaginations. There. I said it. Hope they go into rehab because of my words.

I offer an aside to your insult VB. I've gotten TONS of compliments for my Fossil I wear. I've never seen anyone else with it. SS case and SS links strap, with a very simple dial. No numbers, only hack marks on the 5s. Pretty simply... except for the fact that the dial changes from black to red every 2 seconds. It's taken some serious beating in the last 5 years I've had it, it's been to 100+ feet while diving and tons of various construction projects as well as field work.

I've seen some of the watch shots you've put up on here... some of which are borderline gaudy, and have been WAAAY too large for your wrist (besides the fact that it's been a men's watch )

So there!

Hey vbarrett I sent you a PM but I haven't heard from you... did you get it??

I noticed a very nice looking IWC watch in the movie Lucky Number Sleven in the opening scene of the movie. Does anyone know which one it is off the top of their head?

I'll grab a screencap this evening to help......

Neither for me. I appended another watch to the order, so I think I added to his burdens though. ;(

But not once has he failed to answer my PMs about watch info, so in case he emails me back with my latest question, I will again ask about you, Aegis. If you could PM me with the email you used, that would help -- he said last time that he didn't recognise your ID, "Aegis".

If you're comfortable with that, of course.

Well we've had several emails and PMs back and forth since then VB, so I'm not too worried about him not responding, just the fact that I haven't heard ANYTHING one way or another. I PM'd him the same time as I posted just a little bit ago so we'll see if he responds soon enough. I think I'll email him as well once I get home.

I'm just paranoid.... of course the people spying on me from around the corner might have something to do with that

PLUS I'm really hoping I don't end up with an over the top bling bling watch as the one they add in for me.....

Not yet, sweetie. Didn't even receive my tracking yet, which is unusual for Jay. He must really have been swamped with last minute orders.

I will post my two Rollies the moment I get them -- in this thread!

Ok now I'm starting to wonder...

It's been 7 days since I sent Jay the funds, and I know he got the money as he PM'd me saying he received it, only I haven't heard anything from him since then. No tracking number or anything....

Should I be worried??

I understand that it might well be a fantasy piece, which is fine, but it's also marked "Limited Liberty"... not sure if that makes a difference......

The model number doesn't match the Navi series either so I thought perhaps the description was incorrect.

Still like it either way, which is why I purchased it of course, hehe!

Ahh but just because we're not active duty anymore doesn't mean we should just lay down our arms.....

oh and no, I don't have any pics on this machine to attach, sorry...

Hey all,

ok I picked up this model...

And I'm trying to figure out the era it was initially made. I don't have a Chronolog handy to take a look through, but I'm pretty sure it's not a current model.

Does anyone have an idea when this was initially produced? By the styling is I would almost say sometime in the 60's but i have no way to be sure really.

Thanks in advance!

Hey all,

I noticed something that I thought was odd, so I figured I would ask if anyone else sees the same thing on the boards.

When looking at a person's status, i.e. whether they're a member or a VIP etc., I've noticed that some people show as a VIP and then some people show as a VIP Member.

I was just wondering why?

Cheers!

Emailed him again, and did some name dropping as well vb

Lets hope he gets it this time. I included my order code, as well as the item number and description just in case.

Aegis, heads up. Got a reply from Jay a few seconds ago:

"WHo's Aegis? I havenot got his email yet. Please ask him to resend to me. Really apreciate ur help. Nice weekend."

So please email him back!

I suppose that goes for a lot of you, so take this as a form of public service announcement, chaps.

Thanks VB I'll email him again.

Luckily I forwarded myself all the info I had sent yesterday

Hilarious!!

Upgraded!!

Just curious, whats the turnaround for replys on average? never heard from silix before I left work....

Well I went ahead and ordered a watch, lets hope I hear from them about the paypal info and all of that before I leave for the day, since we have a 3 day weekend because of our holiday here, hehe!

Eh, either way, it's a watch I really like, and was going to order anyway, just thought that the nice extra would make it even better.

Let's hope!

Oh and I included the request to take advantage of the "End of SUmmer Special" at several points in the process- the initial "ADD to basket" page, as well as the email to request the PP info... hopefully it'll get seen in one or the other spots...

Ok, I've looked over both sites to see if they discuss this anywhere but I can't seem to find it! Can anyone point it out to me please?

DEFINATELY getting in on this this evening once I get home!!

The deals good as long as we get it in before the end of the day correct? Oh and what timezone??

if there's a time limit other than the end of the day I'll risk it right now...... just hate to do this stuff from work...

I'll be upgrading tonight!

I haven't been able to log in for several days (one because of the crash which I'm aware of, but for some reason couldn't get in even last night!!) so once I get home this evening I'll be emailing ya Admin!

I would do it now, but I'm not too jazzed about using my PP info and whatnot on a system that can be monitored at any time (yes I'm at work.. )
