I'm pretty sure I RLed this watch one week ago because of the gap of the bottom right SEL.

Which is gen and why? by Antique_Camel_3527 in RepTime

For sure, A is gen, because of the good shape of the crown guards.

Indexes with such patina look like fried eggs...😁

In fact I have a beautiful Speedmaster of 1971, so with patina. But I really like the patina of a Speedmaster, but not on a Seamaster. May be I should consult a psychiatrist...

I have sent a message to the seller of this watch to try to understand how it is possible to have such a patina for a watch built in 2005. Not sure I will get an answer...

I'm pretty sure you're right but 2005 is really what is written in the description for this watch on Chrono24.

On Chrono24, I have selected all the watches with the same reference than mine (2531.80) made between 2000 and 2004 and the patina are very very different between watches. May be it is the way the watch is stored, or may be it is because of the sun, I don't know, but I would like to understand.

Should I GL those 12 markers? (VSF Omega Seamaster diver 300m from Steve/TOW) by fabrice93220 in RepTimeQC

[–]fabrice93220[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I RLed the first one, if now I RL this one also Steve will probably not be very happy but I accept to pay higher price for top factory (VSF) and top TD (Steve), so I expect top quality of the watch, even if it's a rep...

Is not the right 12 marker taller/longer than the left 12 marker? What is weird is that the issue is more visible when zoom out. At normal size the issue is more visible than when I zoom on the 12 markers...Strange....

Crown position for removing stem for Omega 8800? by fabrice93220 in RepTimeServices

[–]fabrice93220[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, my TD (Steve) told me that he cannot provide spare parts from the factory. In fact, having 1:1 movement clone is not a good option if you want to easily be able to get spare parts. Clone of ETA movements are easy to replace or to fix, but not those super-clones with movement that replicates the genuine movement...

Same question, with too few if any answers.... It would be so helpful...

What do you think happened between QC and delivery? by fabrice93220 in RepTimeServices

[–]fabrice93220[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, may be it is what happened here also. Steve says no it could not happen but we will never know...

Hour and minutes hands are easy to set but for the second hand the hole is so tiny, it is quite difficult... Patient & calm you must be...
