piratedzeus Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 1) IWC 3717 with k222 AR, ETA day/datewheels...390$....510$ with TWB gator strap 2) Omega Speedmaster...black dial.... 280$ on bracelet 3) Omega Speedmaster Pandal Dial... 280$ on bracelet 4) Breitling Chronomat Evolution V2 ultimate 280$ on rep strap.. I would like these watches as passable as genuine... I am not going anymore with reps that could be proven as rep by someone who knows the brand. So what do you think Watch should be ok for all occasions but no need to be waterproof. I am not too much into HUGE watches... I sold my Ultimate Planet Ocean on bracelet for that reason. Comfort while wearing is ahuge point to me.
piratedzeus Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Posted April 4, 2008 What do you think about BCE with a suit?
Homer Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 What do you think about BCE with a suit? Evo is to blingy and fat
piratedzeus Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Posted April 4, 2008 Yep OK lol well let's say I am not going to wear a suit too often anyways.... but I think it not a bit dressy
By-Tor Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 I'd pick the Omega with "Panda" dial. That's quite a beauty!
anton Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 If you're looking for passable, I wouldn't pick the BCE --- because the bezel lines are stamped. If you're going to change it, then great, but if you leave it as it---it's like having a sour taste in your mouth. Speedmaster would be my choice---if only it weren't for that bad datefont and "clowns feet" on the omega logo. Lastly, the IWC sounds like the better choice because of the mods that are going to be done to it.
scoobs1971 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 I would go for the IWC. I just had mine modded with double AR and ETA wheels and it looks so..... REAL, A bit more expensive, but the 3717 looks awesome on a BP strap. I think Kurt (TWB) is currently working on his own. edit to add Looks great on a suit too!
vric Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 I kinda like those new Omega, but a BCE is a bust have in a collection.
subzero1 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 If you can get an IWC with straight markers then that's the way to go. Amazing looking watch and will dress up or down depending on the strap you used with it. Double AR on the crystal makes a huge difference. The BCE is very cool also, but it's more bulky and less comfortable than the UPO, so that probably rules it out for you.
Homer Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) If you can get an IWC with straight markers then that's the way to go. Double AR on the crystal makes a huge difference. ye. ive seen a fair few of these.. alot have "marks" where the glass meets the case. and dust under the glass. AR is nice.. no way near Gen. quality though. same on the EVO. I would like these watches as passable as genuine... Edited April 4, 2008 by Homer
sidak Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Well I've been lurking in the depths for a month now and have almost read every page on the omega forums so I thought I'd venture in with my 2cents worth. Here is a great watch that many people here have inspired me to covet (esp. By-Tor) It's available to my reckoning only with Angus. This particular model, to my nooby eyes, has: 1. Correct hand lengths 2. correct date wheel with white border 3. nicely engraved clasp with seamaster not seanaster 4. correct design on bezel insert 5. ETA (so hopefully better quality than the cheaper 21j - is this even true or do they take the same case and just swap out the movements??) Now the only problem is Angus takes so long to reply. Mailed him 4 days ago and nothing! Makes me a little nervous about dealing with him for my cherry busting rep Wrote to Andrew and as usual got a reply in minutes - too bad he doesn't carry this version of the GMT. Should I go with Angus for this? Is he usually so tardy with queries (yes, this has been spoken of before - so it must be true) and if he is so tardy and unreachable is it a safe bet to go with him? I remember reading that you first pick a dealer and then a rep And lastly, is this a good rep? Cheers
piratedzeus Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Posted April 5, 2008 Hey sidak, why don't you create a new thread for your question in the Omega section? Would fit better there
sidak Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Thanks Piratedzeus, Just put it up on the omega forum area. Thought your topic was for anyone to post their next rep ideas... must have got confused early in the morning. Cheers.
