So here the story. I have been a pam and rolex guys since I joined this forum. I bought a CRPO just to try it and sold it after couple of weeks. But then I missed a franken PO sale on one of the forums and I was more disappointed than I thought I would be.
So the next time a franken po was offered I jumped on it. This was about 3 months ago. Unfortunatly the watch came DOA. I contacted the seller and he stood by his sell and told me to send it back so he could figure it out. Turned out to be a bust movement which took about 6 weeks to be repaired by one of our modders.

Today I finally received the watch back and man am I glad that I bought this watch. I want to give a special thanks to PJSayer for being a true gentleman during this process and a true testemony to what this hobby is all about! :cheers:

Got one just about like it. Great watch and nothing better than a gen dial with that invisible crystal.

Sooner rather than later Paps. I've had the gen of this and I couldn't tell the difference when I had the two side by side. If I'd known Swatch are putting a stop on Omega parts I would've kept it ;-)
