Have you ever had the opportunity to compare it with the genuine?
dcrooz Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Having received my PO yesterday and struggled to re-size the bracelet last night I've just popped down to the local Omega AD. Unlike some others I'm not brazen or foolish enough to show this off inside the AD but I was able to carry out a simple comparison from the model in the window - and believe me, there is very very little in it at all. My 112H is pretty good too!

crystalcranium Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 I've got to stop staring at this thing. It looks like your tachy bezel is misaligned, ...like mine, applied about 2-3 tics rotated to the left and the internal bezel tics don't line up with the five minute marks. I wonder if the bezel is easily removed so it can be re-aligned. Other that these little nagging flaws, the watch is beautiful . The blue dial is electric!!!!
By-Tor Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Hmm, maybe. But here's a few genuine pics and the numbers don't line up with the 5-min marks, either.
crystalcranium Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Hmm, maybe. But here's a few genuine pics and the numbers don't line up with the 5-min marks, either. Whew, agreed about the inner tics, .....what a rep!!!!!!! The outer bezel is misaligned rather badly on mine If you use the centered split on the end link as a reference, the zero on my 60 is about 1mm to the left of it. The straight on genuine pic shous the line right down the middle of the 6 and the zero.
ubiquitous Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 The following marks on the Tachy ring should correlate to the following markers on the dial: 60 = 12:00 80 = 9:00 120 = 6:00 240 = 3:00 As long as those match up, the rest will be correct.

Well, mine match up to 60=11:59 80=8:59 120=5:59 240=2:59 But you know what, I think I'll stick to a bezel Tachy ring that's flawed in this way to one that is accurately afixed but chewed up from the owner/operator doing a self repair.

crystalcranium Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Realy like the look of this. Nice watch! It is absolutley GORGEOUS!!! But the rep has subdial spacing AND size issues. I've thought about it....but just can't do it until I'm done with collecting all the 98% accurate reps first. This one's in the 90% range IMHO.

lovepanerai Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 The IWC and Panerai, however, could be worn in ADs if needed. sorry I don't think that you could take your 196 to an AD without it being identified as a replica fast...the bezel of you case just looks very different from the real thing or earlier 196's The IWC...yes and if you keep posting pictures you are forcing me to buy one
Pugwash Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 sorry I don't think that you could take your 196 to an AD without it being identified as a replica fast... You over-estimate the skill of the AD salesmen.
Finepics Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 You over-estimate the skill of the AD salesmen. Pugwash - why aren't you in bed??? In fact why aren't I in bed - I'm going right now.
Pugwash Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 Pugwash - why aren't you in bed??? In fact why aren't I in bed - I'm going right now. I am in bed! On the laptop, all tucked in, cats running past my head at high speed.
Finepics Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 I am in bed! On the laptop, all tucked in, cats running past my head at high speed. damn desktops - well why are'nt you asleep then!! My fiddy is the most accurate one I have, or my 001 or my 004 or my project 3646!!
