SLAY ME

Pug, Silix dealed out your 45mm? I'm thinking of picking up two for a friend and I, but looking at the 45mm w/Orange Bezels. Silix has them as ETA's, but heard some talk of some being 21j Asian.

Definately a fake..but has it been "modded?" It has a smaller crystal than the dealer issued 5517...and mine didn't come with a box...

It is the "moon watch" but a real mmon watch is "black" face etc. but everyone knows that. I bought 2x Moons/Lemania from Joshua, had pins put in for the band and picked up a NATO watchband....it looks Awesome...however...the watch doesn't always keep time, even when wound...and it must be wound a lot. I'd love to see it in "automatic" which is available through some channels except the face has numbers around the dial which, in my book, throws the accurracy of the watch way off. This one doesn't have that, and seems to have automatic movement....hmmm, do they have it in black>?

I don't think that worked. EMS...ok, ordered 2x watches from Josua, only one iarrived in the envelope. The Caveat is the watches are going to a BFPO (British Forces Post Office) address, headed to Diego Garcia (thus avoiding US customes.) An HKTAN ordered same time, arrived on Diego Garcia aproximately same time. Joshua said the 2nd package is on the way...if both were drop shipped at the same time, would EMS keep the same tracking number? I heard today his e-mail was highjacked so he might be slow to respond, if that helps anybody. As everyone else urges, I too urge patience--though the owner of the 2nd watch is anxious. Regards all..

How much are the used reduced day/date going for these days? I picked one up from Omega in the UAE after the sales representative talked me out of the moonwatch..."Hey, I'll surely use the date function!" Then I got in on a good deal for an X-33, my daily wear/and alarm. Regardless, now I'm jonesing for a moon watch and I just dont wan't to pull the trigger on an authentic....I'm looking at PT's. CLL

Yes I am a newb. I have already bought a watch from Joshua. But I keep coming across references to an MBW and WM watches but I haven't been able to find a photobuck/selection to view, or much information beyond that (without hassling luckyy--one of the apparent dealers.) Can somone please explain to me, how to get one if that good and maybe provide a rough figure. Regards all... CLL

True true on age. I'm sure banging aroudn the inside of a B-52 will do well to 'age' it some...I popped off the bezel today and added kinks to the spring, suggestions by Klink....and now it's a lot tighter. I'm fine with the crystal but may try running a bead of epoxy sealant around the crystal, for when I forget to take it out of the shower...and likely run a dremmel over it when I get back. My wife knows I have the propensity for spending money when I deploy (Persian rugs, Omega watches)...I can't wait to see her face on this one. Thanks for the reply- R/ CLLucas

5517--Water 'resistant' I can dig. IE, could handle taking a shower etc. The inside of my crystal on the 5517 military sub fogged slightly. So..with that a few questions. 1. Is the bezel suppossed to click? Min spins freely and removes easily from the watch... 2. What 'mods' if any would be good for this watch? I'd like to be able to at least get in the shower with the thing. But it is a pretty watch from Joshua Regards all/ CLLucas@killingjanefonda.com

I have an Omega Day Date/Reduces Chrono from Dubai, since I'm not actually at home to compare the two up close; the pictures available on kingshowbox.com look fairly accurate to me. The casework looks fine, as well as the lip between case and crystal. What impressed me the most was the quality of the band--even though I would prefer to have the NATO strap. I joined the forum yesterday and I would like to ad that all of the 'dealers' I have emailed (the ones with the most compliments) have posted speedy response and been very professional (important!) As everyone says, read-and-learn! I cannot agree more. The introduction email from "Klink" also serves a helpful guide. As for Omega's, look for the Omega review/information boy "ky-tor" I think I got that wrong...do a search for Omega Review, and you should find him. He also has good information on polishing your rep. Personally I own 2x Omega's, the Day/Date Speedy-Pro, and an X-33. Since I have a fetish for watches larger than my pocketbook, this site was a breath of fresh air. PM me for the list of professional dealers I have spoken with and I will be glad to pass along.
