watchman12345 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Its the nickel plated ETA, in my experience a really nice smooth movement thats going great for me for over 6 months. My "favorite" movement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My "favorite" movement! thats good to hear, cheers! i forgot to mention for those interested in getting one of these that the lume seems very good to me and meets the expectations generated by ByTor's great review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triplehd Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Wear it well. I have the black version and it's a great watch. One thing that bothered alot of people with this version is the placement of the Omega symbol (previously, it was not corretly positioned - too closed to the word Omega). But your's seem to be positioned correctly. Question - on your insert using the pic above, is there only side of the black triangle with the orange outline?

miquel Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 That's a super watch! I have the same one, bought about 8 months ago. Runs great and looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexman Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) - Nice pearl - Perfect aligned and positioned Omega symbol - Perfect aligned hour markers - Smooth nickel plated ETA 2824 - No end link gap issue (as far as I can tell) - No clasp gap issues (as far as I can tell) Boy... you got one heck of a watch there.

OrangeSpoon Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 sounds like i have had some luck i will say though that the strap is a little disappointing, i think its more due to my dislike of its design in general, the gen SMP strap is much better, even my Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeSpoon Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 you can fix the diver's clasp by taking a screwdriver, put it between the prongs, and push the two prong things outward to give it some good friction. ... thanks for the advice, i will try this, its a cleaner solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
