willster Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 saw this one too....nice watch....the sub dial spacing getting real close and other details look good.........not a quartz fan though....but like the looks of the watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerouac Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 A classy looking watch. Wear it well. Quartz is a step up from the non-functioning or pseduo-functioning chronos that are available at the low end, so don't be swayed by critics. If you enjoy the watch and find its functions useful, then you don't need any more opinions. Yours is the only opinion that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighDef Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Your Schuey is scary close, because of the quartz movement that is inside. The subdial spacing is correct. As long as no body notice the second hand jumping in one second interval, nobody will call you out on this one. Not a quartz fan though.

TomBombadil Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Cool watch. Some people get overly-anal about quartz. They are great reliable movements which are extremely accurate. jkerouac is right on with his comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yt74 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 It's a good looking watch and as for the movement, as long as you are happy, that's all that matters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WackoBirdKeeper Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) Received Yesterday. I know that ít´s not perfect but i love it. Quartz Movement. Opinions? Neil´s Choice Genuine The date window is the wrong color, the subdial spacing is wrong too. Anyone that knows this watch could pick it as a fake without looking too hard. Sorry, but I call them as I see them. Overall, it's a nice watch, and if you are happy, that's important. I have abstained from this style watch because no one makes one with the correct subdial spacing. Funny, everyone is so anal about this with the Rolex Daytona, but no one seems to be that way with the Omegas.

Neil, sorry, but BUTT plugs are definitely NOT my obsession. Please keep your recreational activities to yourself. That is MORE information than we all need. (YUCHHH, please make sure you don't place it in your mouth by mistake!!!!) :-) The real OMEGA is a beautiful work of art. That is why I footed the bill for the real deal. I have a real Omega Speedmaster on my wrist right now, as I am typing this. As far as telling someone that a real Omega has a problem with the stopwatch, and it has to go back to Omega, well, that is just a plain giveaway. I own three real Omegas, and they are all 100% perfect. The real deal watch would not have to go back to the manufacturer for a problem like that. If it did, then the owner would send it back ASAP, not sit on a defect. After all, OMEGA DOES STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS 100%. No one that purchases an OMEGA would have to sit on a defective watch, or have to deal with less than 100% customer satisfaction, Nor should they for the cost of that product. Just like another dealer on these forums says, a replica is just a replica. Not the real thing. If you believe otherwise, then you are living an illusion. Relicas can be fun, but we need to realize that they do not fool everyone. BTW: Do you ALWAYS have to flame anyone that does not happen to agree with you? The original post asked for my opinion. I merely gave it. If someone does not want to be open to a negative reply, they should not ask. Plain and simple.

KB Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Ok guy's cool it, let's not go messing up our new home this early. Wacko, Neil is correct in pointing out that Garking started this thread to show off his new watch (which he is very fond of), so maybe a little more thought for your fellow member is in order. Neil I'm sure if you tried you would be able to get that message across in a less offensive manner. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, if you were this quick to respond to your customers emails when they have a problem, you would be the absolute best dealer on these forums. I guess it is easier to just ignore someone once you have their money, even if the watch you sold them is a useless paperweight. Now, I have better things to do than match wits with someone that is completely unarmed. Funny, but I'm still waiting for a response from you as to where to send that alleged watch you sold me for repairs. It sure seems like the only way to get a resonse from you is to butt heads.

GarKinG Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) Wow I don´t even tought that an innocent question wil be able to start a little civil war. I dont´t need the approval of anybody, i don´t even need the opinion of anybody, I knew what I was buying when I bought it and I will know what I buy in the future, don´t get me wrong OK? .My simply intention was to show to the members of this board what in my opinion was a very beautiful piece. WBK, I think that when you read this topic you don´t pay atention to the watch, but the name of the dealer who sold it. I have my first good wirst watch when I was twelve, a Tag Heuer Quartz Movement (Oh my God Quartz¡¡¡¡) present of my parents. Now I am thirtyfour and I have probably too much original watches and absolutely sure too much replica watches, but I don´t need to proclaim the number to feel confortable. Guys please CALM!!!!!!. I promise that I never show my watches ANYMORE. Thanks Neil. Thanks to all who place a trusty opinion good or bad. And pardon to all by my poor English.

jonthebhoy Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Guys please CALM!!!!!!. I promise that I never show my watches ANYMORE. My friend, like every other member, you are entitled to show off your watches. In fact we actively encourage it, particularly when it is such a nice example as your Speedy. Please do not stop. It is one of the principle elements of our site. We show off our watches. Do not be discouraged by criticism. The ability to excercise a little bit of tact can sometimes get lost with some people. There's no crime here, just a little shade of insensitivity. My advice is to repost your picture in the Omega picture gallery with a short review of your own, where it will sit proudly, as it should.

The reason I was critical of WBK was simply because YOU emphasised right at the beginning of your post...." I know that ít´s not perfect but i love it"....that should have been enough of a clue to anyone following your post that EVEN if it had faults....you like it.....WBK......reacted in a mean spirited manner ....and I don't think it was because of the watch....I think it was because of the supplier......I sensed that....and responded accordingly.....if it had been a $300 watch with the faults that it has.....different ball game......not VFM......but at it's price level......it's a nice watch......and I know you 'll get lots of nice comments about it.....I have one...and get complimented frequently....and no-one has ever questioned it's heritage......soemtimes I think members forget that we know a great deal more than 97% of people we meet.....!

archibald Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I wish they would just make the "frozen" stopwatches, like TTK described, at the factory--just use an asian auto, put the running seconds in the right place, and lock up everything else. Of course we'd all love accurate reps of our favorite chronos, complete with 1:1 FP 1185 copy movements, but until that happens the frozen stopwatch models seem a far, far, far better option than either quartz (the ticking of which even for non-experts is the #1 rep tip off) or the boneheaded day-day "chronos" my replica pet peeve.
