What about the 45mm noob specials at the mo?

Link?

Better movement than the miyota but not properly decorated....

Furthermore, I have already paid Michelle for the watch :unsure:

Why do you think I'm trying to get a so similar watch as the one I already have?

So that the wife can't tell the difference :giggle:

Same reason I have all those Pams... :lol:

Don't tell her at all!

Haha I have a 45mm old style professional po 21j like the one you pictured, so hopefully she won't tell either, although I was toying with the idea of an orange version....

A SS bezel to a ceramic one doesn't make much of a difference....

An orange bezel with orange markers is another issue!

I think you're playing with fire mate!

Hahaha!

Happy feet are just that. Happy. Not sad feet. Or sour feet. Or crooked feet.

 

I'm sure you can live with that. Happily. Happy feet. Woo-hoo....:)

You need to use some insoles to support your arches :giggle:

Then you'll have Happy Feet!

Update:

 

I told Michelle what I've posted above, also offering another solution: Maybe she could get me a better watch with a better movement, proper logo, size, case, date numerals, bracelet etc, at a better price!

 

So, she did!

 

She happened to have exactly what I described in her stock!

Omega UPO with Asian ETA 2836-2 high beat 28,800 movement with everything at a very sweet deal!

I asked for QC photos... five minutes later they were in my inbox(no I'm not gonna post them here)

 

I was very pleased....After work, I completed the extra payment (WU)!

 

The next day my watch began it's trip to my home!

 

I hope everything ends well and I'll post the photos on arrival!

 

Cross your fingers everyone!

 

Cheers!

I'm breathless with anticipation....moist too...!!!

 

Why didn't you just get the sapphire replaced by a watchsmith........think of the angst you could have spared yourself....!!!

Nah, that would have been too simple.....

 

I think I just needed an excuse to get a better UPO rep :giggle:

After all, anticipation plays a big part in our hobby...don't you think?

It's finally here!

Photos don't do justice at all!

After resizing the bracelet, checking under the hood for pubes :giggle: and tightening the caseback, it's been on my wrist since Friday(2days ago).

Keeps excellent time and looks great!

Thank's for watching and for giving your advice everyone!

Hope you like it!

Cheers!
