Guest jagleaso Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 So anything new about getting a correct case?
NuTymer Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 man, if they make a correct case, i'd buy at least 5: SMP 300 Bond, SMP 300 GMT, SMP GMT sword hand, SMP 007 Black LE, and one more SMP 300 Bond as a spare! ;d hell, i'd make the case myself if i had access to a 4-axis cnc machine! somebody make this case PUH-LEASE!!
Guest jagleaso Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 Yeah, i just sold a closed factory version to a guy on RG... now im basically kicking myself in the nuts. I would be two or three correct case versions if they were being sold.
f5mando Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 Yeah, I just sold a closed factory version to a guy on RG... now I'm basically kicking myself in the nuts. I'd buy (hell - I'd even even sell) tickets to see that! Maybe "America's Got Talent" or some other 'reality' show would be interested?
Guest jagleaso Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 I actually did it on the Jimmy Kimmel show... shame you missed it, lol.

Guest jagleaso Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Hmmm....who could that be? Hmmm...ME ME ME ME !!!!!!!!! If it was a black dial or a bond it would have never left my collection So off she went and I was fine until I realized my dealers "same watch" had the wrong he valve we have all come to love so dearly Wear it well triplehd! And show us some freaking pics!
triplehd Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Guys I would, but the only way I could convince my wife to allow me to get it (yes, she hates our hobby with a passion due to all of the $$$$ I spend), I told her it could be my X-Mas gift this year from her. She agreed - only if I didnt wear it until X-Mas (suprise surprise, right ?). Relentlessly, I agreed. Couldnt pass this baby up. However, when she's away at grad school, I'll take some quick pics....but please - dont tell her

No, of course we won't tell her (unless you accidentally tell us where she goes to grad school..and her name)!
g00n Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 any more news on when the correct "updated" SMP's are coming out? $300 or not, i want one!!
tehflea Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 any more news on when the correct "updated" SMP's are coming out? $300 or not, i want one!! i agree! im still looking for a good rep of this SMP (2537.80.00?) im not that concerned about the placement on the case, more so the accuracy of the face etc
f5mando Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) i agree! I'm still looking for a good rep of this SMP (2537.80.00?) I'm not that concerned about the placement on the case, more so the accuracy of the face etc Quite a few dealers carry (a rep of) that one, and they're as good as their 2531.80.00 Edited November 7, 2008 by f5mando
tehflea Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Quite a few dealers carry (a rep of) that one, and they're as good as their 2531.80.00 ya i have found a few, but i have been a bit hesitant i guess... never ordered a rep online also i wish i could find someone that makes a quartz version... i really kinda prefer the whole "maintenance free" and accuracy aspect of quartz vs questionable automatics
f5mando Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Yeah, I have found a few, but I have been a bit hesitant, I guess... never ordered a rep online Also, I wish I could find a quartz version. I really prefer the whole "maintenance free" and accuracy aspect of quartz.. Yes, er..ah..well, now..you raise a..hmm..er..whew! Now, let's start at the beginning, shall us?! Firstly, it appears you're (what we fondly refer to as) a noobie. Welcome! Now, quartz-v-auto is a debate in itself, and as such (I believe) has its own thread. If not we should start one and name it appropriately, "Fred"(?) As for never having bought online before, well..what can I say? We were all virgins once. Even the girls at the 'Kit Kat Klub'! That's what these fora are for-a (see what I did there)? Do yer readin' and researchin', and then yer buyin', and postin' - NOT forgetting to post photo's of your purchases, or we get very upset..

Edited November 7, 2008 by tehflea
f5mando Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 That Omega is also a fantasy watch. It wan't (as far as I know) ever in black. The crown guards (& I'm guessing the rest of the casing) are very Rolex-like. The gear you'll find through dealers here, as you'll see in the pictures of others' reps, are very close to the real thing, and generally of good quality. Don't take my word for it. Take the weekend to scour the boards. I'm sure some other members will pitch in soon with their thoughts.
ta8088 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 If a decent case was ever to be made again I would likely get all four of these and I don't think I'd be the only member who would be likely to get a couple. The electric blue SMP is one of my favorite watches and I've only seen a couple of them change hands in the year and change that I've been on the forums. I've never been lucky enough or quick enough to grab one.
mars08 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 Another one.... I've just about given up on an SMP super-rep. A gen might be the only way to scratch that itch.
JBond Posted November 9, 2008 Report Posted November 9, 2008 yes i am indeed a noobie i have searched a lot in the last few days and read what must be hundreds of threads, and FAQ, and "start here" guides so im a little... less clueless i actually own two reps i bought in china town... went with the GF last week and she *needed* to buy some rep purses, so we go through a movie-like-adventure and long story short i end up in a little basement in chinatown full of every kind of rep of anything you could ever want... i didnt know much about watches besides, rolex is expensive, james bond wears an omega in the new movies, and patek philippe makes that 1.5mil watch lol so i picked up these two... one an omega so its not too off topic i guess hehe... the omega seemed a little off when i looked at it, and now looking at photos of real ones the differences are pretty apparant... and the patek is a fantasy, no similar watch actually exists, but thats ok i just bought it becuase it looks pretty not becuase of whos name it has on it (well, the patek, not the omega ) plus at $120 for the pair I'm happy also i dont want to start a war of mechanical (automatic) vs. electronic (quartz)... i just figure theres less variance in quarts movements (even cereal box watches keep time "ok" lol!) but from reading more and more about the movements they seem to be ok... i just worry becuase i would like a watch i can wear every day and not worry about knocking something out of wack... Your Omega is a pretty poor rep... Wrong color, wrong bezel, wrong CG's, wrong bracelet. That chinese street stuff. Take a look at this: A swiss replica from ptswiss.com Could you see the difference???
tehflea Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) A swiss replica from ptswiss.com Could you see the difference??? yes i said i didnt know anything about watches at the time, not that im an idiot anyhow, does ptswiss have any prices on their site? all i can find are photos? Edited November 10, 2008 by tehflea

Take it easy my friend. If you wanna know the price you have to contact the dealer. No price catalog... Photos here: ptswiss.com
