Here she is, my newly aquired beauty.

as you know from my wanted posts and stupid questions I've been after one of these since I got the boss to agree to me spending the money on one. I was too scared to purchase one from China because of customs etc. Then thanks to baffmike, I finally have one.

Good choice. I've been on the fence about getting one of these as well. I love the watch. It's repped very well but I don't do so well ordering from china. I absolutely hate how long the process takes. I'd much rather buy a used one in m2m.

 

I recently found a old SMP rep so of course, one of the new ceramics go on sale a few days after.

I love my SMP but would have preferred the ceramic.

 

It's a beautiful watch. Wear it well.

 

You gonna do the paint mod?

Thank you for the kind words. I can't stop wearing it!! I have only just read up on the paint mod, don't think I'll try it though, looks like a steady hand and skill are needed, I have neither!!

I actually always wanted an original wave 300m but couldn't see one I liked so went for the ceramic. I will own a wave one one day though. You got any pictures of yours bc?

It's really not that hard. You just get some metallic enamel and fill in the markers with a tiny brush. Someone on rwi recently did his rolex with one of those metallic markers and it looks great. You can let the paint spill over. Once it dries, just run a razor blade across it and it'll take off all the paint not in the grooves. Ceramic is scratch proof ;)

 

As for my SMP. It looks like the standard blue SMP with the waves. I like it and was impressed by the quality of a cheapie. The bracelet has the correct 9 piece links which I didn't expect. Runs like a 21j. Bezel is right and has solid clicks all around.

My only gripe is the crystal seems a bit dirty on the inside and I can't get the case open to save my life.

Don't do the paint mod. It is a great rep as it is and if you mess up you will regret it!

To be fair I won't be doing it. I'll most likely mess it up. It's my baby but I can't stop wearing it!! Is that normal?

Very nice watch! I'm not a fan of that bezel though, looks a bit "reppy"

My SMP is exactly the same. Could do with a good clean under the crystal!

 

Sticky ball won't touch it!

my SMP is damn near impossible to open.

i gave up trying.

 

sending it to a watchsmith for a new crystal.

 

usually rep casebacks open with hardly any force. ive tried literally everything except the official omega tool to open it. doesnt budge.

There is a special tool on ebay, pretty cheap. I tried but mine won't budge either. To be honest I figure if it's that tight it's at least a bit water tight. Lol

its rarely the caseback that lets water in these reps.

usually at the crown or the crystal gasket.

 

thought about making a case opener. seems pretty easy. just a board and some nails but for now, its going to a watchsmith. :lol:

Thanks
