Irontomkidd Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 The pearl looks great. I have wanted a black bezel PO for some time, may have to pick this up when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcook Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) I also posted these in signumboy's thread, I got my QC pics today, here's a taste. This is $128 version with the DG4813 movement: Edited December 18, 2010 by rcook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 How can you beat that for $128? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Since the case is the same, this is what I'm thinking... If the watch is good, ultimately buy all three styles: Two Lite and one Full version. This way, if I like one of the lite versions better, I can simply swap the movement and movement holder. I would start buying one lite version first and examine its build quality. If it passes my standard, then I will go on and order the other two.

jchurch Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 yeah that 128 dollar one is really nice looking. I have been looking at getting a genuine one when I go to the store but I just can't justify the price when the replica is so nearly spot on. And closest any get to the water is when I am washing my hands lol. Hope someone confirms if they can take gen parts like the crown and tube and if a gen dial and hands set can still be had. Heck I would do that send off the crystal for a different coating and call it good for a while or at least till the movement died on me.

robertk Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 for the price, it's not worth nitpicking the few "flaws". it' a truly remarkable watch for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italiano17771 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 just wish they made the 45 mm version...anybody hear anything?? truly an amazing watch for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I have confirmed with Joshua that this watch takes gen bezel. I'm pretty sure it will take gen dial and hands. However, if you are planning to get a $128 one and upgrade, you may want to figure out where you can source a movement retaining ring because it won't fit onto a Swiss ETA movement. Further more you may also need to upgrade the Swiss movement with taller cannon pinion and hour and second wheels. I see I can still order gen parts from Ofrei website, but I'm not sure if he can still order them from Omega now. Any experience with this?

If it's using a DG movement, the dial and hands probably won't fit. ETA hands don't fit on a DG movement, as well as the dial feet don't line up the same.

So if I was going to change the dial and hands I would be better off ordering a swiss version and not a cheapo version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 You may be better off with the Swiss version because the fitting of the dial and hands to the movement. However, sinve you may or may not like the watch once you receive it, so buying a cheapo first makes perfect sense. To fully franken the cheapo you will need to order hands and dial. I would also order a gen bezel. You will need to order a Swiss movement with taller pinion and movement holder. Crown and tube may not be as necessary depends on how well they are made on the rep.

rcook Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 From what I understand the DG4813 is a clone of the Miyota 8125? That in itself wouldn't be a bad upgrade either really. The Miyota is a very good movement on it's own, sure it's not swiss but given the prices were talking about here it almost becomes a game of how little can you spend and still have a great watch? I'm pretty excited, this is my first rep and I think I picked a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramerica2 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 It's not a movement problem, but gen parts problem... If down the road, you'd want to get gen dial, hands, etc. you would have a problem with the cheap movement, but with the ETA they usually just slide in perfectly...

danza1812 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 where is the Omega insigna in the second pic??? If it hasn't caught the light it sometimes appears to vanish as it's totally flat mirror like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
