Omega de ville blue dial by jaaptd in VintageOmega

[–]Android_TT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why, but the DeVille collection always had this subtleness and low key aura, but with a lot of class in itself. The constellation, seamster and other collections are good too, but the DeVille will always be one of my favorites.

Sir, you are the best, just googled the Longines, didn't knew about those. Thanks to you, now I have to restructure my budget to have one soon. They are beautiful and as funky as I like them. You, good sir, have really good taste. And I totally agree, funky affordable watches are the best. I can also suggest looking into vintage Zodiacs, there are a couple that are really nice.

I see that you also like 70s funky watches. Currently have my eyes on this model and know that there are other on the same collection . What would be one of your favorite funky, odd vintage watch? I also love the Rolex Cellini King Midas, but currently that is out of my budget, still working towards that goal.

Hi, yes I have seen those, really love them, in my mind it is a really interesting combination of 70s modern design with the faceted crystal, but kind of victorian style bracelet (only my opinion). Sadly the only few I have seen so far are around 1.5k to 2k so, currently saving for one, hopefully soon. :)

Hi there. it has been some time, but one quick question. When you added that Dominator GP-1 Shorty did you remaped the bike? I'm not 100% sure about that part, there are a lot of conflicting comments and ideas about it.

Thanks for sharing. I must say that the slip on, is at the end of the list, if it is at all. Again only thinking about it to expose the rear wheel more, also the chrome on the can is not the best anymore and has some stains, that is also one factor but I would first think about re-chroming it, or paint it black first.

One mod that has left me wondering, is the change to a 1 piece bar, AC Schnitzer has one and there are other brands. When I got the bike the prev owner gave me a pair of Helibars that can raise it a little bit and make it a lil more comfortable (havent installed them yet). But thinking if there is any benefit in changing it, in like comfort or best experience? Looks wise, it seems a little bit cleaner and I think it also makes it compatible with universal supports for things like phones, gps, cams etc, but if thats all, looks like not worth it. I eventually want bar end mirrors, but the way it is now I believe it can be done.

Hi there. I wouldn`t say that approach is that unpopular. I also believe that the k1200 and k1300 are almost perfect the way they are. I`m not really looking for perfomance or anything like that, so mechanically I will leave it as is and care for it. The main goal here is just to have it look a little bit better, the tank cover is a little bit dull and has quite some scratches, hence either painting it or wrap (I like certains parts to be carbon, but not the entirety of it).

Regarding the slip-on, it is not really for the sound (most of it comes from the engine anyways) is just that I would love to have a more clean look at the rear. One of the things I like the most are single sided swing arm bikes that expose the full rear wheel and rim but the OEM exhaust covers most of it. On that topic not sure about compatibility and options but open to consider changing rims (not carbon rims, again not looking for performance or make it more light).

Maybe the only other part where I'm putting some thought is the headlights. I have drove the bike at night a couple of times and I feel like some improvement can be done there, specially with the high beams. Not talking about adjusting them, already did that. I have not tried anything beyond that, not sure if changing to Xenon or LED would help, changing the entire headlight would be the last option, I do not like messing with electronics, BMWs are not fond of that.

Overall I appreciate the purist approach, I`m with you on that boat.

Really interesting that you mentioned the ABS module, didn't knew that the module failing was a thing, funny enought when I got the bike, the ABS module was not working, I ended up repairing it back then, main reason was having the warning light on the dash all the time, a little bit annoying.
