RWI forgive me, for I have committed a sin...

RWI forgive me, for I have committed a sin...for in my moment of weakness, I have ordered a GEN! :timeout2:

http://www.ocean7watchco.com/store/lm-5-dress-diver-with-domed-sapphire-bezel.html

Should be be here within 2 weeks, and I'll post some pics then.

I love my Noob BPFF, but being a member of the skinny wrist club, the slightly smaller size should become me more. Plus it has a younger, more affordable look, whilst retaining the lumed sapphire bezel.

I think I'll pair it with either a 22mm Obris Morgan black isofrane style strap or maybe a vintage mesh strap.

Will post pics when it arrives!

What should my penitence be for buying a GEN?!?

 

[warlordofnarnia]

This one??

Your prnitence should be sending your rep to me!!

 

[Lagunax]

Yes! That one!
I just started my penitence by ordering the rereleased Noobfactory Omega Liquidmetal Seamaster Professional (LMPO)!

Here it is!

 

[trailboss99]

No sin in that, nice pickup!

 

[joes]

That's actually quite nice looking. Congrats!!

 

[Lagunax]

Thanks guys!
It fits my 6.5" wrist a lot better than my Noob BPFF.
Also got it for $539 as a liquidation sale instead of $799!

Next point of order will be either an Obris Morgan 22mm Isofrane style strap or a black polished stingray strap, still thinking about it...

Very nice and a really good price for that watch.

 

[tommy_boy]

Well done! Certainly get no grief from me for getting that watch.


For your sin, say three Hail Marys and buy a Helson.

For your sin, say three Hail Marys and a Hell Son!.

I've never quite heard that before Tommy. I'll try it next time I sin.

Really cool Homage to the BPFF. Does it have a hacking movement?

Yes, ETA 2824-2.

Lume is nowhere as nuclear as the Noob BPFF, I'd say 1/3-1/2 the intensity, but that's fine as the Noob BPFF was a little too bright if you are trying to go to sleep, LOL.

That´s a really good looking watch at a great price - and the BPFF is on the big side. Well done, no further penitence needed, suffering the weak lume is penitence enough.

That's a great watch you have mate! The gen BPFF, as I understand it, doesn't even hack which for me, is just dumb.

 

[Lagunax]

Reps have been sitting in their box for a coupla days now including the TC anf BPFF...

 

[Lagunax]

Think I am going to go shark leather instead for the strap:

[deOwar]

Congrats, very well executed homage! However, while this is smaller in diameter, than the BPFF (gen/rep), its lug-to-lug size doesn't look to be smaller, does it?
As I know, the chronometer version has a labeling on the downside of the dial, wich gives a bit more symmetry to it. But this is cool, really!

 

[Lagunax]

Ok, got a custom sharkskin/horween strap and buckle from this guy here, I must say a diver on sharkskin is a great combo!

Fantastic buddy! I like it. Surprising that it has weaker lume than the rep. What size is it?

That Noob BPFF is like no other when it comes to lume.
