  1. Happy Birthday baltic!

  2. I still drop in from time to time, but no where near as often as in the past...hello Z etal
  3. Pfft, could have at least synced them
  4. Forgot to ask in my earlier reply, what do they go for now? New or second hand? ta.
  5. Thanks, with the rumoured appearance of an Asian 7753 looks like a Swiss 7753 watch should command a premium Do they come up in FS often?
  6. Haven't visited here for a while so I was just wondering what the availability of 7753 powered chronographs is these days - 196, 188 etc? Ta in advance...
  7. Ah lovely gen there Pug. Nice to see. Me likey Speedys
  8. Whoa this post came back from the dead! I got the rep from EL yonks ago and it has since moved onto another owner. The gen 3570 has now been joined by a pre-moon 145022-69 (told you I was a Speedy obsessive )
  9. Hmm, not been on the board for a while, try to help someone and get called stupid....lovely. I bow to your obviously superior knoweldge; I being merely human occasionaly make a mistake.
  10. The quality of some Alphas falls short of some 'super reps', particularly if they've been modded. However they allow you to get a feel for the size and style and 'feel' of a watch. For example I'd been undecided about getting a Rolex Exp 1 rep, but just didn't know how it would look like on the wrist. Alpha do an almost exact copy of the Exp 1 and after purchasing it (new for under
  11. Well to be honest there just is a certain something about a gen that no rep has (perhaps excepting frankens). I had a seriously modded UPO and now have a gen PO and there is a definite difference and maybe it's a small percentage better interms of 'feel' than a modded rep, but that's what you pay for. The difference between winding the PO and the UPO (and mine had an ETA movement) is phenomenal. Anyhoo I still like looking at reps online and who knows if one really grabs me I may take the plunge but it'd have to be pretty special as the ones I've got (IMHO) are top notch. Cheers, B
  12. My first rep was an EL Moonwatch that was Zigmeisterd and I loved it. However every time I saw a gen Speedy Pro in an AD I was drawn to it. Long story short I now have a gen Pre-Moon Speedy Pro from my birth year - '69. I rationalised my rep collection going for quantity not quality (all have now been to the Canadian Spa) and when the urge to buy a watch comes I've satisfied it with a Alpha! Yes I know the purists will be horrified, but hey what the hell, it's my money... Reps = 5 Gens = 8
  13. Too quick for me Pug Since amended...'tis human to err I only just removed the L & R from my shoes
  14. Omega Speedmaster Professional: The rep on the right (from EL) replaced by the gen and the rest is history...
