Wow, very tempting to pick a watch like that up and swap movements. If you have a lo-beat 7750 rep you could even do a straight swap.

So the valve is accurate on the chrono, but not on the non-chrono? Crap, I should have gotten the chrono.

Been down to the Harrods room a few times, I also really like the Selfridges room. Tried a couple Navis on at Harrods, and a Cosmonaute and a PO at Selfridges (before I bought a 42mm rep!). Check out some of the more unusual watches too, Selfridges has a limited edition Chopard tourbillon (the last unsold one I was told) for a cool GBP85k...

Sweet dude. I really like the SMP chrono and I'd get one to add to my Bond SMP... if only the He valve was accurate!

To answer your question - send them both to me.

Ok, that would get my interest as well.

I'd say #1, but from the alignment of the numbers / pearl in the bezel. They are far enough off-center to bug someone who knows nothing about what a BCE should look like. Then after that datefont etc... it does look very close though.

I always think that for that money, a rubber strap should feel like a woman's skin!

Oh no, photos! This thread needs to be marked "not safe while eating"!! Well I suppose someone out there must like how it looks if they are willing to spend that much money on it. Suits me fine. If we all found the same girls attractive dating would be much harder.

Looking very carefully at my 42mm... the date window on the dial above actually looks too far to the RIGHT for that datewheel, if it was where the date window on my 42mm is, then the dial above is almost as big as my PO's bezel. It's a 45mm.

Wouldn't the argon be released once you unscrewed the crown to set the time?

I've been looking at my PO orange dial and thinking that it would look awesome with gold applied logo and hour marker outlines. I would love a gold PO rep. Love love love one.

I'm surprised some enterprising scammer hasn't started manufacturing rep packaging...

I would rather wear a sundial.

That looks like the 45mm bezel to me. Are our legs being pulled?

I'd find it hard to pay $35k for something that makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit every time I check the time.

Hmm, well in that case I'd rather keep the existing dial with the slightly low Omega logo. Can't bring myself to pay $222 for the gen dial, that's what I paid for the watch...

Ummm, why not? The OP is buying the watch, not his dad. I don't know about you, but my dad has a lot more money than I do, and I would find it hard to buy a gen to match what my dad drives. Besides, quite a few guys in this game drive expensive cars and wear reps.

That's really nice. I wonder what that would look like on a PVD mesh bracelet.

I'm thinking: - Tag Carrera if he's a little older or dresses more sporty. - Tag Link (either Chrono or non-Chrono) if he's a little younger, or dresses more business casual. - Rolex Yachtmaster - Omega Planet Ocean 42mm black bezel, orange dial How big / tall is your father? How old is he? How does he tend to dress? What colour is his A8?

I have no idea... it's really not to my taste. Of course that's just my opinion.

How was the dial / pearl on the 3rd Gen, By-Tor? I remember reading that the hands were better too, is it worth getting a 3rd and 4th gen and putting the best parts together to make an ultimate 42mm? I am planning to get gen hands, but the gen dial is really expensive...

I've read a few places about the "RBJ" mod involving moving / repositioning the logo. Is this as simple as removing the applied logo from the dial and regluing it slightly higher? Can any watchmaker do this? Just wondering as it makes an appealing alternative to buying a $222 gen dial from Ofrei...

Does this basically mean that the dimensions of the dials for the 42mm and 45.5mm (or at least the printed / applied parts of the dial) are almost the same?

I never notice it on my wrist, personally. It might look different depending on wrist size and how the bracelet falls away from the lugs.
