Trusty's $108 007 Omega

[remixed]

Trusty's $108. Let me know what you think.

Now, does he have the regular bond-like SMP for $108?

 

[Dutchy]

I think he does!

 

[remixed]

He does. I'm thinking of getting the GMT myself.

for $108?

what kinda mvmt?

 

[pugwash]

see, this has inspired me. My Planet Ocean doesn't look like it'll ever sell, mostly because it's second gen, so I'll buy a $108 SPM, the Omega I really wanted in the first place, and I'll swap movements, putting the ETA in the ... oh, I'll need to do all manner of mods to the stumps that hold the dial in and stuff. Damn.

It came out to $116 with shipping. Can't beat it with a stick. I'm getting a bezel insert for it that snaps in, as original. I won't have to worry about the glue coming off. That's $20, total for watch will be under $150.

Well, I've never bought off Trusty, so maybe it's time to start...

It has asian auto movement. Keeps good time though.

Asian 21j.

 

[remixed]

yeah, that's it 21j. He ships fast. It only took 9 or 10 days to Florida from Malasya. Really has impressed the hell out of me.

Yes, you're absolutely right. The GMT is the one to get.

Glad to be of service. I just went in my pool with it and it passed the pool test just fine. Had it down at 7ft and no leakage.

Hey again everyone. I'm kind of interested in the 007 Omega as well. Does anyone know if this is a pretty good rep? If I pick it up it will definitely be the 108$ special from trusty. That one is 40mm which I normally like a little bigger but then the ETA is 42.5. And I saw a gen on ebay that was 43. Does anyone know the gen size or if they come in different sizes? Sorry to ask so much at once basically I'll break it down
1) How accurate is this rep to gen (I know "bond" watches that aren't 007 have problems with pearl and I think the bracelet too)
2) What is the gen size?

Thanks in advance everyone!

Gen size is 42. There are other sizes (midsize, ladies) but nothing larger then 42.

I had a gen once, and the reps seem pretty good (although the "Omega" on the front seems to vary among dealers..not one got it 100% right from the pics I have seen.

So the gen is 42 which means the 108$ asian isn't a very accurate rep if it's 2mm smaller than gen. Some things I can overlook but that one I don't think I can. Too bad because I liked the watch.
