jomega Posted October 19, 2013 Report Posted October 19, 2013 It's been 3 weeks now since I recieved my desired Omega Rep. Good and swift service by Silix (michelle) paypal payment and DHL shipment to Holland via UK. Very satisfied with look and feel. Had some trouble with turning the bezelring at first but since the excess glue came out between the ring and the case the ring turns very smoothly. One disappointment, the markings on the ceramic bezelring are fafing rapidly, (i'm aware of the dedicated thread) so I contacted the dealer and agreed on $30,– for a new insert wich I will replace myself and I will try to fix it with with a transparent coating to prevent wear.

jomega Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Posted October 19, 2013 Yup, that was the first thing I noticed unwrapping it. Verzonden vanaf mijn C6603 met behulp van Tapatalk
indywatchguy Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Does anyone know if a gen bezel will fit this piece?
sputim Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 I guess it fits but so hard to find and way to expensive. I just swapped it and this time I made the mod with matt clear coat to prevent it from fading..hope it lasts
KingAce Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Wow I like it I'm thinking of getting the cheaper Omega SeaMaster Planet Ocean (orange bezel one) from Silix real soon. Did you get it from Silix-prime.so? I hope to get it from there, and hopefully have a good experience like you! (It'll be my first rep)
jomega Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Posted October 31, 2013 KingAce, Silix Prime indeed, on the edge of loosing it's TD status I beleive but communication is flawless, very helpfull. Hope you'll find a nice orange PO. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1
jomega Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Posted October 31, 2013 Sputim, how is the matte coating holding up on your bezelring? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
sputim Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Can't told so far I have it at home..Will wear it next week and can tell you more then
KingAce Posted November 1, 2013 Report Posted November 1, 2013 Just ordered the orange bezel PO last night from Silix, I have to say good communication. And the watch looks great from the QC pictures that were sent to me. I can't wait ^^

sputim Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 I just swapped the bezel of mine some days ago. Same with your watch the pearl is about 1mm or half over the bezel which was not the case with the first batch. Easy fix though Ps. Really recommend the clear coat mod but use matt clear code instead of shiny.

GrimReaper85 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 How is the movement in yours, jomega? What I particularly want you to check: 1. Is the winding smooth? 2. Pull the crown in the last, time setting position. Now turn the crown for some time. Do you notice any roughness, or is the turning smooth? 3. Does the rotor rattle when you shake the watch up and down?
jomega Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Posted November 3, 2013 1. Winding is smooth, although it keeps winding while screwing tha crown tight. Never had that with a winding watch. Not a problem but have te be aware there's allways 5/6 more turns to come. 2. Time setting is smooth, no resistance or rough parts. A very little amount of play when turning from one direction to the other. 3. Rotor is solid, just the sound of it spinning, now play here. The wathc is solid and good. Misses approximately 10 seconds in 24 hrs but that's acceptable to me. I might take some time soon to adjust it. Very happy, only bezel fading is a disappointment. New ring coming soon together with new rubber strap! Both from Silix.
GrimReaper85 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) although it keeps winding while screwing tha crown tight. Never had that with a winding watch. Actually, at least 8 of my watches do this, altough most of them are Omega reps/homages, and one cheap Rolex rep. Edited November 3, 2013 by GrimReaper85
correctime Posted November 11, 2013 Report Posted November 11, 2013 Looks great. As for the winding while screwing into locking position: it shouldn't hurt anything. ....maybe pull the stem and make certain the overall length of the stem/crown is 19.2mm...or is it 19.4 ??
