cib0rgman Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I email silix, but he has not responded to me if the offer is still on. thanks for confirming that is in fact an ETA, Is the AR applied to the outside of the crystal or the inside.

TexBiker Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Is the AR applied to the outside of the crystal or the inside. Regards Appears to be both...hence the term, double-sided AR, just like the gen. Edited October 23, 2007 by TexBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmsu Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 right, but be really careful... mine came with some tiny scratches in the coating... oh well, i will live with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBALOO Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I also took advantage of the Steelfish special and received mine yesterday the 22nd. I ordered it on the 16th and live in the US, California. I cant tell if the crown has an o-ring on it. Can anyone verify if it does, it is hard to tell if there is one way back in the part that turns (crown?) . I want to wear the watch swimming but not diving. I took off the back and there are no marks on the balance wheel( not sure on terminology) or the movement but it looks just like the one posted earlier . Overall it is a great looking watch and will look great with my gen blue rubber strap. I will also not be as weary wearing this as I am with my gen chrono Evolution. BTW, thanks for the info on this site, I have been lurking for a while and am just now joining in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feta1 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Another dealer told me that the movement may not be an ETA and the AR is done externally how true is this. thanks Care to elaborate on this cib0rgman??? Still waiting for Jay to get back to me regarding my DOA white steelfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Care to elaborate on this cib0rgman??? Still waiting for Jay to get back to me regarding my DOA white steelfish Well I talked to my dealer and asked him. How come he does not have the same offer and sale more watches. His answer was that the movement may not be ETA and the that AR is applied on the outer side of the crystal, for this there is no warranty at all. By the way I have a reply from Silix he told me that the watch is 255, I can get the same one from my dealer with free shipping for 278. I will stick with my source, he never fail me and always fix any problem with the watch for free Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother-in-law just recieved his SOSF from Silix and his was ETA with double-sided AR...just like the one I got from Silix earlier this week and exactly like the one I got from Josh a couple weeks ago for almost $100 more. Seems this was just a good deal all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but I thought that the offer price was 225 not 255, That is why I decided to pass on this bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 I think it was 225 + delivery; that may be where the extra $30 comes in possibly. (Might be wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexBiker Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 I think it was 225 + delivery; that may be where the extra $30 comes in possibly. (Might be wrong) That's correct. I paid $28 for EMS shipping...which is a tad less than most of the other dealers I've used. Air mail was quite a bit less expensive, but I don't mind paying extra for EMS in most cases.
