Someone requested a 'good ' picture of Lay's Omega Chrono. They were on sale for $208 back then but have gone up alot.

 

I think if you look around you can still find some deals- they all should be the same watch.

Thanks alot mates- seems like the watches look better with that new camera. I get very few comments when I post with that

 

lousy old 3 MP camera. Plus I have to Photoshop the hell out of them just to be presentable.

 

@jcarara08- so go for it, what do you think. BTW- I like your sig

 

thats from "Ctizen Kane" when he's at the opera with his wife who's a crappy singer.

 

I'm a movie buff besides a watch nut.

This is one of the reps I am pretty sure I will never part with. Really tempted to spend a bit of money on mine and make it a super rep! Anyone know if these take gen dials? What about gen bracelets?

Yes its an Asian 7750. I haven't seen anyone selling the real Swiss version. Besides,part of the appeal of the watch was the

 

price. I wouldn't spend another $400-500 on the Swiss movement and who knows what for the gen bracelet etc.

 

This gen is not that expensive- you can probably get a new one for $3k or under. Used of course, less.

Erm... Yes I'd say its pretty damn good for a rep! Pearl is rubbish, Omega logo incorrect and lume dots sometimes look a touch green, oh and a few small tells with the bracelet.... But apart from that its a very good rep. I love mine, hence being tempted to mod it.

Ah shit, sorry for the confusion, that is not mine... is a pic of a gen, just posted it for reference. Mine is basically the same as the pic in the first post. So yeah, there are flaws as you can see, but overall IMO these are great reps.

Actually I got it from Marvelousreplicas, and put in a genuine SMP dial that I bought used from eBay. Real easy to do.....Now I need to relume it as soon as the "stuff" arrives.

It had the newer red dial on it, but I have two real SMP's with the same dial, so thought a rep would look good with one too!

In Brasil, it's not too safe to walk around with a real Swiss watch, so a fake one seemed better.
