I think I'm doing a relapse about watch addiction guys  the Mark XVIII catch my eyes like hell, this XVII is awsome too.Don't want to hijack the post of Ayr, but, if I'm correct, the XVIII is a 40mm and the XVII a 41mm for gen one, can we confirm this on rep too, cuz there's some contradiction on dealer ads, and, base on the above pic, it look's like the AR is little weak , is it a double side AR? 

The new ones from Baselworld look pretty similar, only the dial seems not be as shiny. I tried on a LM at the local Omega Boutique some time ago and I have to say it looks pretty stunning in the flesh! I'm not too sure about the dial for daily use, though. It's really, really blingy and very similar to the GMTIIC's bezel.

Here's a bad picture from Basel, the watch pictured supposedly is the new 42mm version with 8500 caliber . Size wise pretty similar, only about one mm thicker, 15,7mm if I remember correctly and with display back (the 8500 is beautiful so I won't say anything about tool watches ).

finally!!! screw pin on bracelet !!!!!! a lot easier to adjust than the current @*&#@ pin on omega bracelet.

speechless

The liquidmetal version NEED to be rep.

I handled one at AD and compared side by side with my LV

My beater one...Luminox 3001 on a TWB buffalo strap

"Déjà vue"

... counterfiet exist and will continue to exist. It's like trying to stop the wind... useless.

New acquisition...still not have time to clean it, I took my camera to shoot it right away...

For purist, is not the "best" rep (have some flaws, fat hand hour, etc.) all sub ceramic have flaws anyway, you need to live with it, or skip it. But his watch have a great presence. Can,t go wrong with a sub anyway. A classic

Best edition from PureTime if you ask. V serial no, 316F.

It look silly on her skinny wrist.

"Trop c'est comme pas assez".

I don't know what is the equivalent in english, but it can be "too much is as bad as not enough" or "Don't over do it".

Thanks Ronin for this precision.

If you ask me to choose a rep between the too "light grey" or the too black (and not gun metal) I'll choose all the way the "too black" version. For me the "light grey" is a total turn off for me

I'm ready to pull the trigger on a white explorerII.

At PureTime, photo tell that indices are in correct color, that is black ( and not grey like TrustyTime or Perfectclones) .

Somebody who bought it from PureTime recently can confirm they are effectivly black. Or recommendation where I can buy one with correct indices/hands color.

Thanks.

-5min/24hr is very very bad. I don't think lying it on side or dial down will give a +5min boost. If yes, this mvt have a real problem. It need to be regulated by a watch maker.

It's probably a DG 2813 that beat at 6 bps.

The only true smooth second hand mvt is the mvt build by Seiko, the Spring Drive mvt.

Demo here

But you will need to pull out a lot of cash from your pocket to get it

PM to him.

Since the release of the PO 42mm 5th gen, A4813 version (arround $150) not sure if he will continue to stock the POrikaa.

Now that Puretime just release a lite version of the sub ceramic, between Trusty and Puretime, which one is a better rep ? Eagle eye, input will be welcome.

For me, they look the same god'em things, even the price, only exception, one use sapphire, other one use mineral.

DO I MISS SOMETHING HERE

to jchurch , Do you find the combo strap/buckle comfortable?

What the hell the title mean

TO REMOVE.

I prefer the woman snipper caracter in this movie, most sexy snipper I ever seen

Yes and no

So, the DG2813 and 4813 have the dial feet in the same place. The stem height is the same. The hand sizes are the same. Therefore, it should be a direct swap.

However, like the ETA family of movements, they come with different length pinions. Almost all DG4813s seem to have the low hand stack, so many times when you do the swap, everything fits until you go to install the hands then you find that there's not enough clearance between the hands and the dial.

There used to be high-hand-stack 4813s, but the supply seems to have dried up.

Great, finaly, a clear explanation.

If it says 21j mvt but does NOT specify or add that its a 28.8 then it's most likely the 21,600??

I'll say yes to this.

Or, if they specify the watch use a A4813, that mean implicitly it's a 28.8k bph.

Ambassador of Omega, George Clooney, in The American movie:

I don't know why, but I personally have seen and touched movements stamped 2813 that beat at 28.8kbph. They were different from the DG4813.

Very interesting

Do you know if a DG4813 can be a direct swap for a DG2813 ? I read a lot of different opinion on that. Your input will be welcome.

Are all 21j mvts 21,600 or are they making 21j 28,000 mvts ???

A21j (j for jewels, so 21 jewel) without mention anything else it's a DG2813 that beat at ~21k bpm. The DG4813 it's the 28,000 mvt (i.e ~28k bpm) version of the DG2813.

Are you sure it's full wound!

Crank it manually, about 50 turns, leave it on your night table, and check tomorow. And if there's a problem, communicate with the member. It's a $15 mvt, you can change it in worst case scenario.

I can add that this kind of mvt can be very very precise.
