Rolexman Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 http://etatw2011.com/Product_Show.asp?ID=7483 Don't know Chinese but my guess is it won't take long before this hits the streets BTW: this is the same guy with the prototype pics of the inhouse Panerai movement that is bound to come.
cougar1 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 Interesting, thanks for sharing rolexman, case looks good!...it'll be the dial and pearl where it'll all go wrong It's interesting that they are doing this 50th aniv version, they must be well into the standard version also now!
Rolexman Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Posted August 5, 2012 First cheap Asian version at Perfect Clones (click twice on the link if it doesn't work) http://www.1-pc8838.com/0585-p-12486.html
the_rymeister Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks for the heads ups guys I hope noob factory make a good rep of this.
txcollector Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 First cheap Asian version at Perfect Clones (click twice on the link if it doesn't work) http://www.1-pc8838....85-p-12486.html I hope they do a decent version of this. The gen is very nice. The cheap asian version is just awful. Nice start with the rotor window but not engraved not brushed, dial is poor, 007 on the dial should be embossed, lume should be blue, hands are too short, DW too small, horrible pearl as usual, HE valve too small, wrong CG, wrong crown and wrong clasp. They only got the idea right on this one
cougar1 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 God, and they bought a gen watch to do that with it ...back to the drawing board! There should hopefully be a few releases/improvements of these c-smps in the future, I don't think noob have any involvement in them atm either, it seems the only new Omega they are working on is the C-PO and perhaps the new AT from that, who knows though, ...as far as these new ceramic smps go, why not do the 'normal' version and not a special edition...wouldn't it be a bit easier?
StormTooper4 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Posted August 6, 2012 Why don't the just put this watch to sleep once and for all and concentrate on the PO's talking about Milking a dead horse
japanic Posted August 6, 2012 Report Posted August 6, 2012 I would be completely sold if it did not have the repeating 007 logo on the dial. Didn't they do this 10 years ago with the blue SMP?
slooowr6 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Posted August 6, 2012 http://etatw2011.com...how.asp?ID=7483 Don't know Chinese but my guess is it won't take long before this hits the streets BTW: this is the same guy with the prototype pics of the inhouse Panerai movement that is bound to come. Very cool, this one is made in Taiwan.
Rolexman Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Posted August 6, 2012 Very cool, this one is made in Taiwan. They State that about all their watches "super duper cool topper best". But they are actually all made in China. Just a marketing trick...

Possible, not sure if you can understand Chinese. If you do, it's very entertaining to listen to his comment in some of the videos.
cougar1 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Posted September 4, 2012 This looks extremely interesting now, updated prototype pics of the case and bracelet, seems pretty solid so far!
Rolexman Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Posted September 5, 2012 Wow wow wow!! Looks very promising. Good to see at least 1 factory that is still active.....
archierocks Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 i almost bought the gen of this last month in london i would be really interested in a quality rep
milhouse Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 Really hope they get the dial and hands right. There's one version around that looks horrid. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. :-)
Logan Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 The bottom of the SEL's is a bit untidy, but overall it's very good
signumboy Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 Narikka has this one at the moment I think check hm on rg
cougar1 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 Yeah it needs some tidying up on the sels, this is a prototype yet so hopefully a fine tune sorts out some of the flaky bits, the screw link bracelets should be interesting...can't wait to see the dial/bezel insert etc. Narikka has this one at the moment I think check hm on rg The one narikka has isn't this one, this one is still in production atm, the one narikaa has is well, tbh a bit of a disaster.
KMAC Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 This looks like we finally have promising Smp case coming
milhouse Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 The one narikka has isn't this one, this one is still in production atm, the one narikaa has is well, tbh a bit of a disaster. Yeah, that one is pretty bad.
THXuk Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 Eta does like to reveal pics very early on, so i suspect it will be some time before we see finished version.
