rbj69 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 this is one right before i got really ill i was working on to make close as perfect to the genuine, i actually went to a reeds jewelry shop that had everyone of these in stock and did a comparison, i can now say this baby is at least 98% close to genuine , the sales rep of omega happen to be in the store and i acted like i was thinking about buying the bigger one , so i took mine off to try it on and i also wanted to see the new ones , and talk about nervous he all of a sudden grabbed it and starting polishing it for me and telling me how he was thinking of getting a orange one like mine , i was about to have a panic attack right then and there and he simply handed it back to me and said dont u think those hour markers glow better on these than the old seamaster, and then and there that told me it passed cause he did check out the glow on mine, luckily i relumed it or he would have said something cause he was checking it out pretty hard, however i never saw him look at the back of the watch , i guess the front passed good enough lol anyway here she is swimming in the ocean and smiling at me , this one came from trustywatchguy and what i did was take the markers off the old chinese dial which had the better font and put the markers from the bad new dial and switched them , then i raised the logo just a hair to be in better position and i relumed it and i tightened my bezel to feel really smooth and snug and reglued my insert down because they come with on tape holding them down , i also polished out and rebrushed the case/bracelet to be more like the genuine, also i polished out the bezel prongs to smoothe them out, i waterproofed it and this is what i came up with , enjoy!!!

triplehd Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Joe - awesome job on the PO. Who needs to spend $$$$ for the OEM Dial when yours looks just as good. I may have to save up for my PO to look just as good as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpt390 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 @ rbj69 Glad to hear your feelong better. I really like what you did with the watch. The pearl on the reps are sort of tall compaired to the real one. Can they be bought and be replaced or modified?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
