sidak Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share 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 should first pick a dealer and then a rep And lastly, is this a good rep? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplehd Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Just paint the rest of the GMT hand and it's a very nice piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Just paint the rest of the GMT hand and it's a very nice piece. Yup, the hand needs to be all red with the exception of the lume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie7s Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 A good looking piece for sure from Angus. I can tell you that Angus is as solid a rep purveyor as you will find. He may not get back to you as quickly as Andrew (I think Andrew sleeps with his Blackberry) but you will not be disappointed with Angus. If you like this model, buy it and just switch out the GMT hand and it looks like it would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Here's a gen picture, taken at a similar angle, borrowed from a current eBay auction: Notable differences include the GMT hand color, lume color, and crown guard shape.
