peplovesu Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 After months of research and painless hours searching the internet for a watch that would both look good in jeans and t-shirt or a dressier slacks and shirt, i've found the Omega Speedmaster professional to be the best. After searching the regular retail sites such as Amazon etc, i realized that as a college student i could never afford a watch that cost more than a car i bought to drive around town. Thus, i decided to buy a replica. I'm not new to replica's. My dad's a watch collector with tons of watches stored in his safe locked away somewhere in his house. so i'm not new to buying replicas. the only problem is he lives in thailand and i live in the US. how can i buy a replica watch without running into trouble in the US. after searching the web i've found this helpful site which led me to find ruby. I chose Ruby's watch because of the review of several members here. they were very influential. Especially, EV_'s review of Ruby's Omega speedmaster. hence i decided to purchase from her. now with my noobness i decided to have the watch go through a water proof test which cost $10 extra. it failed and turn out to be an extra 2 and a half weeks of waiting. but once i got that sort out the watch came withing a week or so. The package was nicely wrapped in bubble wrapped and well packaged. all in all a good buy, more pics and detailed review later, at least after i'm done with my college work.. peplovesu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailboss Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 The new 44mm Speedmaster Co-Axial rep is coming to soon (with correct sub dial spacing).... Yep, waiting patiantly here. Of cause it failed a water test, it's a speedy rep. They are knowen as water magnets, no screw down pushers see. I'm surprised it ever passed and that Ruby even trys. Col.

mastergod Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Waiting for the the bigger Speedie Pro myself. According to an AD I visited recently (he only had pics) - it will come with see-through back only, and with shiny dial only? Can anyone verify this?

peplovesu Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Mine actually had a screwed down crown. I still not sure if I wind it fully. And does any one know how to stop the second dial when setti g the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 with the crown in the hand set position apply a bit of pressure as if you were turning the hands backwards and the seconds hand shoud stop or go backwards even, it may take a bit of practice but it does work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillorin Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Waterproof test you paid $10 for and it failed? I don't mean to be a cynic here... but was there additional charge to get it back 'up to snuff'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
