swdivad Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Is it me, or is this a really great rep? Looks pretty good to me, maybe a relume and pearl to fix, a real VJ7750 to make it extra nice (but probably no need)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Yes it IS really nice. Saw the River's sales thread. If this won't sell like hotcakes then the world must be ending. Did I already mention that I need this watch? Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWR Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 paint on the subdial hands might be a little rough.. otherwise indistinguishable. my next purchase 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasng Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Relume, pearl to fix and genuine 7750, would put you at something like $700 when completely done, and you still have a rep in the end. I sold my genuine for $1000 a few months ago. No matter what you do to it, it's still a rep in the end, the quality just isn't up there with the genuine, and a $300 difference is a no-brainer.

swdivad Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 paint on the subdial hands might be a little rough.. otherwise indistinguishable. my next purchase 100%. Ditto that... I got EL's IWC Ingenier coming and Joshua's Tag chrono... and now this pops up. A week ago, my watch box was pure Panerai, next week will be a good start to diversity. Ths is definately the best year so far for reps, and the worst for my wallet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Several say replace the pearl. How would you do this? I would get a replacement bezel insert. ps. I brought you a can of Irn Bru back but Mrs Pugwash drank it when she had a hangover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkitesurf Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 This is a gen.... http://cgi.ebay.com/Omega-Seamaster-Pro-Ja...bayphotohosting The rep looks really, really good IMHO @thomasng - 1000$ my a$$ if you find me one with papers for that I am your man....

Was that a SMP pro chrono, or just an SMP pro... If it was the chrono, I wish I saw that one going!! Never ever seen one go for $1k, that's what the standard smp pros are going for second hand these days. I paid about $US3000 for my titanium version of the same watch about 7-8 years ago.

fitmic Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I sure looks nice. How much is it from River? Can't see any price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I sure looks nice. How much is it from River? Can't see any price. He has it listed in his dealer section, last time I looked it said $239 inc delivery. This is going to be my next purchase I feel The Tag chrono I got from river was fantastic, he is one of the best dealers we have here for sure Cheers!

JWR Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 any word on if it's the fast-beat 7750? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estaban Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I used to own this in a gen. It's a beast. I almost bought Admin' watch some time ago. These watches are easily found for $1300 (less if it's grey market like Admin'). I'd do the gen if it was only $300 or $400 different.

chubbchubb Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I guess I'm looking at my first "Omega".... very nice and close to gen - just whish this was as rugged as the real thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ever seen one go for $1k, that's what the standard smp pros are going for second hand these days. I paid about $US3000 for my titanium version of the same watch about 7-8 years ago. SMP Pro Chrono. Listed it for 2 months on RWG, no one wanted it until krustybrand scooped it up. I can easily get one with full box and papers now for $1300 or so, like new. A Ti Chrono one now goes on TZ about $1300 average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Ooooh, that is lovely!! The pearl isn't at all bad. In fact I'd say it is the best rep Omega pearl I have seen so far. Good to see a return to the 5-piece end links also, but they still can't seem to pop that bezel insert in right. No worries about the He valve as on this particular model it is supposed to line up with the 10 marker. I'd have one of these if (a) I wasn't already in love with my TAG Link chrono and ( it's a bit too similar to my regular SMP to justify a high place on the wish-list.
