Thanks guys, it had a big mark on the side (left side of the watch) looked like something had banged against it... Ive emailed the dealer my concerns.. will let you know the outcome guys

Thanks vbarrett, the dealer did NOT mention any shipping costs in sending it back... I've asked the dealer to absorb this in good business practice, if they refuse then I will look at making an unauthorised credit card transaction in my card to reverse the funds as the goods are still in the dealers hands. I'll do this under no goods received from vendor but I'm still then out of pocket!

Hi Guys I sent my damaged Tag back to the dealer at my cost who apparently has repaired it. The dealer is ready to ship it back to me but is now demanding the 20 USD to send it back. Is the process not that dealer pays to send to you, and buyer pays to send to dealer? The website states no clauses for shipping/returns I thought this is very bad business. Happy to name the dealer Thanks guys

This appears to have GOLD subdial rings, which is different to the SILVER I believe my trustytime rep from Andrew has, correct?

BIG image!

Guys, any issues wearing this in the Ocean (salt water) ? I guess a rinse in freshwater afterwards would be ok.

ajoesmith, are you going to email us paypal details or?? my paypal is kris@kriskeen.com.au

what was the cost for the insert? gens arent cheap???

Guys, so a ETA 7750 movement swap into the SMP Chrono requires new hands??? Is this 100% confirmed?? I think ill order some hands now..

Sending the watch back to the dealer who will 'repair' it... should be interesting!

A gripping story, your father is in a better place no doubt! RIP, Dad's are the best guys in the world. I'm incredibily lucky to have my Dad still around, and hopefully for many years. My heart goes out to you. Take care Kris

ajoesmith, I'll drop out here and instead purchase 2 x ETA 7750 Gen movements from you which has the date wheels anyway! Seems a logical choice Cheers

ajoesmith, put me down for TWO of these movements. I'll drop out of the date wheel group buy and put the $ towards two movements (which have the date wheels anyway) How quickly will this group buy happen? Thanks Kris

Have decided to change only the date wheel and install ETA movement. Leaving the rest. Carreras are still goin for $2k USD on Ebay... thats quite alot of aussie money

Sorry to bring this old thread back! Does anyone know if the gen bracelet fits without modification? The bezel is really expensive, so it also includes the dial? Is that correct? Omega Seamaster Professional Bezel OME-082SU1360 Thats the Bezel http://www.ofrei.com/page663.html#392 Cheers Kris

Ahh that sounds better Cousins quoted me about 4pounds for it.. I need two, plus shipping so the group buy may be cheaper! Still in for 2

Thanks. The power must be good on these to have the chrono running constantly, I wore the watch in the morning and evening for about 2hrs, minimal movement then left it over night with it running and it was fine! I'm testing its accuracy now against a time source on the internet. I think its about 1-2minutes out after 3 days. I'll definately get it serviced by The Zigmeister when he returns.

Thanks giorgio. I think I have it I've had the chrono running for 3 days hehehe! Woops!!! anyway, I've reset it and its stopped. The SUB dial at 9'o clock is still running and keeping time So the largest hand in the center dial is the chrono hand, and should only be used when your using the stop watch feature! GOT IT Thanks so much

The Zigmeister says that when the chrono is running thats when the most friction is generated. My Chrono seems to work fine, it starts and runs with the pushers. My question is, under normal operation the seconds hand is constantly moving (naturally) is this then defined as the chrono running??? If you stop the chrono, reset and run it , has it lost seconds or is the watch still keeping time from before??? I assume if the seconds hand isnt moving the watch isnt moving and therefore not keeping time..? Sorry for this newbie question..

Anyone have a photo of the misaligned bezel? Just about to order one. With the bezel realigned, gen bracelet its a pretty darn good replica yes? Thanks

Guys, am i right in saying a gen 7750 movement as for offer in the groupbuy would be able to be put into the SMP Chrono with easy by The Zigmeister?? Further, are there any issues with misaligned date wheels? Thanks Kris

ajoesmith, am I right in saying that I can install one in a Tag Carrera Chrono & a Omega SMP Chrono through The Zigmeister later down the line?? If SO, ill take ONE postage to Sydney. When are the funds required? are your prices AUD? Ie $300 aud? Thanks

ajoesmith, $30 AUD for 1 date wheel??? Is that the rough price?

Guys, the date window issue can that be fixed by replacement with a ETA date window as used in the Tag Carrera Chrono? Thanks

I have no such tools! Im going to follow it through with my dealer before resorting to this. It WASNT there when I had the link out..
