Isnt the seamaster is based on 2892 and has 28800vph? So how can the rep have more?
To bad Ruby has gone fishing would like to know more of her rep.
If you want a great Bond SMP, you have been talking to the best watchman in the business. FakeMaster built this beauty for me and it hasn't left my wrist since Christmas morning! He sourced the best dial, bracelet, bezel, etc and built a real beauty.
Whoa!! Me like alot! Say Fakemaster, you still source? If thats the case why didnt you say so?
That seamaster looks fantastic. You have a webpage Fakemaster?

Just scroll down to the 'members' area or something like that from the main page. Fakey has his own corner of the site where you can read those reviews that he mentioned as well as a ton of other good stuff.tenshin2002 said:
What are the differences between the 2220.80.00 and the classical Bond model? The only difference i see is the red font on "Seamaster" in the 2220.80.00 dial?
I believe the hour markers are slightly different in addition to the red Seamaster writing. The Bond model does not appear to have a silver border around the rectangular hour markers, or is much finer. Also the Bond version says PROFESSIONAL CHRONOMETER on two lines wereas the 2220.80.00 version says PROFESSIONAL CO-AXIAL CHRONOMETER on three linestenshin2002 said:
I do agree that all the ETA versions of the 2220.80.00 red Seamaster version are crap. In fact that version floating around has the red Seamaster in the wrong location. It should be immediately below the Omega wording instead of above the PROFESSIONAL CO-AXIAL wording at the bottom. I do not know about the non red Seamaster version though.
But my question I wanted to post before I got distracted here, is if the A21j movement is in fact the DG2813 movement, and if it can be swapped with a DG4813 movement
Yes, its the DG2813. And i have been told that the DG4813 is crap. Its an overclocked DG2813 so you should be able to switch.
Oh and to make you more confused the DG2813 is actually a 22j!

whoa, an overclocked dg28? Then that means it could die a premature death??!?!?! Where did you find this info out, b'cuz I could not find that out anywhere?tenshin2002 said:
I was going to get Watcheden's $108 smp ($88 with coupon code) and get a DG48 off the 'bay and do a swap.
The 4813 shares the same achictectural design as the 2813. The VPH is achieved by changing certain components. But the main structure of the movement is left alone. In the end you get a higher BPH that is running on a platform that it was not designed for thus the reliability is less. Equate it to a 7750 runnning seconds @6. Better yet equate it to something automotive. If your car is designed to idle at 650 and you adjust it to run at 3000 that engine will die sooner than it normally would have. How much sooner? No way to tell but it won't last as long for sure. But that's not why people buy them anyway. They want the VPH so they won't get called out at the food court. That's why you want it. And seeing as they are Chinese movements, you can pick them up dirt cheap. So if they fail you just buy another one and swap it out with very little loss. So I say if that's what you want go for it.
I think your better off getting a clone ETA 2824/2836 version. And if that breaks, you can always swap with a gen ETA.
