First there was the Skyland V1 / V2 debacle.. now this crap?.. lol V2 SA bring it on!. About a week guys?
-
Shame they got the white dial so wrong. Well at least it appears that way in these particular pictures. The dial color is like that of the genuine SOSF - the SA should be white, not off white/cream. http://www.pc-80108.com/0015-p-4886.html Look at the lume markers.. they are a much brighter white compared to the dial. Black looks almost as good as my Franken (dial+bezel) SA though!.

6 and I dont have anywhere near enough yet.. 183, 236, 188, 176, 111, 232.. Still need 001B (to replace the 111H) and a bunch of pre.. and PVD models.

This isnt good news. Keep us updated fellas.

Mate I think your over reacting. He also offered a refund. The watch looks great btw even with your horrible photographs.

Why RWI has removed Josh and Andrew as dealers
elisiX replied to seanf's topic in General Discussion
Out of all the 15 or so reps i've bought - only 1 (GMTII-C) was from a dealer - Josh. I found him to be great to deal with, friendly and accurate in his comments which is all I ask for. Im not looking for a 'friend'. Andrew on the other hand - well this doesn't surprise me at all. Every conversation i've had with him has taken me from being a potential customer to a hater in a matter of seconds. He's a smart ass and is obviously well aware of the control they hold however trying to price fix is just another league even for him. I applaud the response of RWI and while I understand Josh and Andrew share the same factory and connections - their attitudes are completely different. I will continue to buy from Josh - that is if I buy an unmodded watch.. lol which is rare. -
Who needs an updated SA from the stealers when you can have this!. Still 1/4 the price of a gen and exceptional in every way. Ok so the sun was out and I thought it best to take some pictures of my new Franken Breitling Super Avenger. Specs as per my sig but basically the case, pushers and hands are the only non gen items. Hands have also been relumed to match the gen bezel and dial. Oh and there are a few of his brother the Breitling Chronomat Evolution also. Now all that's left to do is grab me a Skyland. Just need to work out what color but im thinking Blue with black genuine rubber might be the go for the Skyland. Not 100% sure but ill decide this week. Also waiting to hear back on a fully and I mean fully gen parts UPO in orange - this thing will rock and I will once again have an Omega in the box. Anyway - enjoy. Cheers, Jay

Absolutely fantastic set of PAM's mate. The second you part with any of those please please let me know. God damn im jealous
-
I am so stuck on this - its the only reason I haven't ordered one yet. I've currently got a Graphite BCE and have just bought a black dial Franken SA. I think the Grey is my favorite but im thinking I need some variety and should get the blue.. Argh dammit!.
-
Its winter here in AUS so this is the best I could do this weekend..
-
How difficult is it to take out and obviously replace the date mag on our GMTII's? What's involved etc?
-
On RG one of the guys asked Josh about the date window.. supposedly this is a sample and not production. Josh assured him the DW will be correct on the production model. Brilliant news. Will jump on the black/blue for now. Would've liked to see the grey and SS.
-
I only just now realised it wasnt a new secs@12 model
-
Can I ask why you stopped the secs@12? I havent heard of any movement issues just yet? Looks fantastic BTW. love it!
-
porsche356 had a genuine bezel fitted to his BCE - perhaps he can chime in here on who installed his and how it was done? Currently I have a V2 BCE Graphite w/ Lello DW and it is pretty much an ultimate rep. I was lucky enough to get a very good example with perfect tabs. (most tabs I see dont fill the gaps cut out for them in the bezel)
-
GMTIIC Owners - What is the state of your rep?
elisiX replied to freddy333's topic in The Rolex Area
CHS Swiss here. Mines been running perfect so far. Had it since second week released. I noticed a couple small marks on the clasp and a new one is in the post from Josh. -
It states Safari in on both of those links mate. Once the movement has settled in and this date window rubbish is organized ill take a Black Theme and eventually a safari if it comes out.
-
Mate its not a 'bad' thing that he's offering the service. My point is that before he updated the page again yesterday, he had updated it to say that there was a NEW UPDATED version. I dont know if you saw the page which was put up in between. Now he's changed it to the original listing however with the drop down menu advising that the window can be painted black. In other words, the 'NEW UPDATED version' was a lie as it was infact just a modified existing stock.
-
This is just becoming ridiculous. How about a straight indication from the damn dealers about what they're selling. Which is it?! An updated version with correct window or a modified watch that he's selling?. It's beyond the joke.

UPO+ Genuine Omega Parts From Ofrei+Vac= Holy Sh*t!
elisiX replied to tanya's topic in The Omega Area
Looks fantastic!. I've sold my Franken SMP Chrono and am picking up OhMegaman's seriously Franken UPO this month. I can hardly wait and this is just a tease. -
Which collected did you get this from? Looks fantastic!.
-
Would you change the datewheel on your @ 12 ROO?
elisiX replied to anton's topic in The Audemars Piguet Area
Now that the date background is black - i'm less concerned about the date itself. That being said - i'd probably change it. -
The end of an era, A7750 parts supply dried up...
elisiX replied to RWG Technical's topic in General Discussion
Well I will be sure to keep this in mind. Thanks Rob. -
Hi All, Well I finally got fed up and could decide what Reiner box to buy and I gave up trying to find an 8 watch pam box put together from Homer. I found an Australian company who supplied what seems to me a quality product and as he is based locally - I went to check out his stock. I literally spent about an hour checking about 15 different boxes until I found the best example he had. I had the option of going with piano black (which I always wanted) but the fingerprints put me off big time. Also the color of this box is closer to a PAM color (but darker) which is what I wanted. This will be full of PAM's only one day. Apologies in advance as again I dont have my SLR (my sister keeps steeling it) so here goes with my trust Canon IXUS in my horribly lit home office. Argh - I need to get better pictures. This is what i've been using / dealing with for the past 6 months or so. Here is the box - it really is an outstanding quality piece which I must photograph better to capture the color right. And onto my babies.. Panerai 176H Luminor Titanium Franken, Panerai OEM Brown Croc, DSN dial/hands, Vaclume, ETA6497. Panerai 232 Radiomir Franken, 2006 SE, DSN Dial/Hands, J.Landa Vintage Strap, ETA6497. Panerai 188 Daylight Chronograph Franken, Panerai OEM Black Croc, Lello DW, The Zigmeister Lume/Build, ETA7753. Rolex GMT Master II Ceramic, Correct hand stack, 50th Anniversary, ETA 2836-2. Breitling Chronomat Evolution Franken, Graphite/Graphite, Ultimate V2, Lello Date Wheel, A7750. Panerai 236 Daylight Chronograph Franken, Gen Crown, Lello DW, The Zigmeister Lume/Serviced, ETA7753. Omega Seamaster Pro Chronograph Franken, Gen Bezel, Insert, Dial, Hands, Bracelet, The Zigmeister Build, ETA7750. And the latest arrival.. Panerai 183G Radiomir Franken, Vintage Bone Croc, Flav Lume/Build, The Zigmeister Serviced. A6497. And one last shot with slightly better lighting The SMP chrono was recently sold (pending payment still) and I will be sorry to see it go. I am almost kicking myself for selling it but i've made room for a DSN modded 111H which will fill the void. I must say that this should be it for collecting PAM's for a little bit. I do want to fill this case with PAM's completely but I think I want to grab a couple more Breitlings (Franken SA and Skyland when its out). Oh and I wouldn't mind getting something close to my old SOSF back which was sold. Cheers, Jay
