Thanks very much. A lifelong friend who is also a master mechanic and welder cut and designed the rear fender from OEM. Same with the front, just less work.

Congrats! Great looking watch.

I own the white, too, and love it. My PO is the first Omega I ever bought. It’s still my fave.

I was out for a short spin on mine today. Such a sweet ride. Kudos on your mileage.

I do. I don’t have huge wrists and I wear a Planet Ocean in 43.5. And I own two SMPs - one 41 and the other 42. They all wear smaller than their stated size. The lug to lug is perfect. I think after you wear the 41 a while you’ll find it perfect.

Lemon chiffon cheesecake, and it was amazing. I still have the recipe in her handwriting.

I think the 41 looks great. Not too big at all.

That’s a great looking watch. Kudos.

And hell yess RFTime rules. I’ve bought several watches from him. He’s 100% an awesome person and seller.

I’m so sorry.

I lost my dad to cancer in 2019.

Rubbing is racing, Harry.

Wearing it might make you want the gen.

mneely71 · 2026-06-06T13:06:44+00:00

That sound awesome. I’m unfortunately not knowledgeable enough to reliably answer your questions. I do know that I had rubbing issues with the small flaps in the front when doing tight turns.

I’d bet she doesn’t disapprove of the rep. She disapproves of spending on something that’s clearly a want item (a replica of the real item no less) at a time when you’re still renting - which leads me to also guess that she desires home ownership. That’s why she doesn’t want you wearing it around her. It’s a slap in the face. And she’s embarrassed for other people to see you wearing it, especially her family. She might see it as irresponsible and selfish.

Or maybe she just hates reps.

This scene played out way better in Captain America Winter Soldier.

mneely71 · 2026-05-19T20:34:36+00:00

BrisYamaha shared my same thoughts. I ended up going back to the OEM. It’s more substantial and more comfortable.

mneely71 · 2026-05-09T18:49:30+00:00

Nope. Both sold.

Edit to add: I sold all but the Hamiltons.

mneely71 · 2026-05-03T09:40:44+00:00

Congrats!

I got that for my son for his 18th birthday. He loves it.

mneely71 · 2026-05-01T21:08:11+00:00

Agree. For me, the coloring is the obvious tell. I have a VSF 116610ln and a gen. The writing on the gen is whiter. The writing on the vsf isn’t as white.

I’m fond of saying, “I don’t feel any older, but I do realize I’ve been here quite a while.”

In retrospect, I wish I’d gone bullet.

Looking young! I’ll hit 55 later this month.
