Silix $35 specials

[davylloyd]

I wasn't trying to insult you mate, I appreciate your input and pictires... they were half the reason I bought two... I just thought the comment was self explanitory. For 35 bucks you can't expect much so why people are commenting on quality for price is beyond me. My apologies

Fair play. I was only trying to give the OP a steer, that's all.

How do you pronounce Seamstei

Seam-sty

Sea - mizz -thai

I'm finding these cheapos a waste of money. Once I got used to higher grade reps, it's really hard to wear $35 watches. They get no wrist time. I also got a gen G-Shock which now my all-around beater watch.

I hear that ajs, as of now all my fifty and change collection are all genuine pieces. I would like to break one down and try my hand at modification. Why not start with a super entry level watch. If I destroy it ... oh well! I have played with a few of my invicta pro divers and the seamasti is a similar structure. I have an idea but if I can do it remains to be seen. GRE I would assume it would be sea mas thai

Sure, for learning some modding and basic watch repair a $35 rep is the way to go.

I was thinking about this to try my hand at lume and waterproofing.

I appreciate all the helpful comments. I knew not to expect a 200 dollar type rep, just wanting to get an overall feel for it. Thanks! I ordered all 3 omegas he had at that price range.

brim I am thinking the same thing! J west, I think the broad arrow has potential, I got an orange and blue sea mastei. Ordered at midnight and I just got my tracking number about thirty Minutes ago! Let me know how the broad arrow looks I might get a few while he has them. Its the gift that says I am cheap but I still care!

Keep us posted!

I definitely will maniac, if nothing else I will enjoy the hobby and learn a few things in the process! I have an invicta with a blue lapis dial that died a year ago, with some slight preparation work I am hoping to perhaps graft the dial with the appropriate omega markings and hour markers into the seamaster case. Relume everything and install a black date wheel with red number's. That dial is stunning and the blue bezel will just make it pop!

 

[jwest1334]

Rob, do you really want one?

 

[watchwatchwatch12345]

awesome thread! been thinking of getting 1 or 2 since its cheap!

hopefully they don't die within 6 months!

 

[Cadmito]

You'll what to ditch that awful bracelet for sure. For me it was the one part I couldn't stand. A nice nato/zulu/maratac is a cheap alternative

I've had my $35 Omega since last December. It stills works fine gets used now and then keeps good time and works very well not disappointed at all. A few months after i got it the pearl fell of and i haven't bothered replacing it. Other then that you can't go wrong don't expect to much but for the money its great.
