mark76 0 Posted November 15, 2011 OK, start. Mary's photo's look great, but the other site, http://www.asiakrono.com/omega/seamaster/omega_164.htm , doesn't look bad either, although I get the sense it's not as high of quality. It's more then half off though, and I doubt I can get good "Seamaster-Type" movement for $110. I'm checking to see if she takes PayPal. She keeps mentioning bank transfer but hasn't given the info to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted November 15, 2011 Didn't you read it's quartz mov't? And it mean case/bracelet/everything else wouldn't be same quality, as for auto. I always pay WU to Mary, less problems and much faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always pay WU to Mary, less problems and much faster. Yes, I saw it was the quartz movement as well. As was looking at a watch that is the same price at a site that connects off of her site and has free shipping, I'm gonna ask about it but I assume it's not hers. If Western Union is the way to go, I'll do that then. I've done it to Mexico and the like in the pass, so hopefully I can do it online to China. Thanks for helping out! This makes it easier.... I mean, it looks like a good product, and people keep saying good things about Mary, so I'll go for it. I purchased a "real" tag a few weeks ago and it has me on the watch fever again... and knowing I won't be getting a real Omega without my wife getting REALLY upset, I've realized it's going to be some years before I can manage to justify getting a real one. I love the Rolex Seadweller I have, but I think most people know I won't be wearing a $6K+ watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always pay WU to Mary, less problems and much faster. She just wrote: The ems shipping cost to USA is $28. it takes about 6~7 days, and we can track it online. After payment, pls send your name，address and phone number to me. The total amount is $279.3($238+$28+5%paypal cost) She hasn't given me the paypal info though. Uhg.

mark76 0 Posted November 15, 2011 I have 50+ reps already, not looking for anything, maybe for just a few... Very nice... there must be some nice quality out there if you have that many. I've always wanted to get into it more, but my luck has been so hit and miss in the past. I have high hopes for this Seamaster.... Mary's name came up the most but I never had any "referrals" from anybody, so I decided to test my luck. Have you bought a lot from her? Does she have a good selection? She was out of Speedmasters and didn't have access to Tag Heuer Aqua Racer. What is your best rep, you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark76 0 Posted November 15, 2011 I love the Rolex Seadweller I have, but I think most people know I won't be wearing a $6K+ watch. Who the fack cares what others will think just wear what ever you like I agree with you... I wear it out when I'm on the town or too a nice dinner or show, but generally I don't. My Tag is more practial, more comfortable, and in my "real" price range. Also, when I get a rep of which, I really REALLY starting wanting the real thing. I love Rolex's, but even if I had the money I just wouldn't buy one. They are great watches, but there is just a point where the price of the watch totally exceeds it's value and you are paying for a name. My dad paid just over $100 for his when he was in Vietnam, and even adjusting for inflation it would retail for WAY less than they actually do now. The Omega I have been looking for.... I actually want and is "feasible", so maybe I'll start working towards that in the future. Maybe won't have to, if the rep of it is as good of quality as I'd like it to be.

Robert, Mary and MR the only 3 I'd recommend to anyone. You have to read her feedback section. Yes, about 75% of my reps are from Mary, rest from Robert. Quality is superb, never had any problems.

I'm glad you have bought a similar one, so I can see and hear how it is! How do you like it? (Dumb question). How is the feel and movement compared to the real one? Anything you don't like? Is it water resistant (I won't be swimming in mine, but I don't want to ruin it buy forgetting to take it off when I hop in the shower or something). The bracelet looks good and sturdy from what I can see. What I meant with "referrals" is that nobody "recommended" her to me outright when I asked for an opinion on a good reputable dealer (nobody recommended anybody).... at least not up til the last minute. I mean, I'm sure all of the dealers listed probably have good products, but there is always a dealer (or 3) that is going to have BETTER reps or better selection than the others, not to mention fair prices and reliability.

chinabee 0 Posted November 15, 2011 There are no good seamaster reps right now- they all have obvious flaws. Mary's is probably the best you can get as far as I know. I personally feel for the reps, you should go with as little complication as possible. So a date is the most I would go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted November 15, 2011 Man, it is totally beautiful!! I mean, really good looking! I'm glad you have bought a similar one, so I can see and hear how it is! How do you like it? (Dumb question). How is the feel and movement compared to the real one? Anything you don't like? Is it water resistant (I won't be swimming in mine, but I don't want to ruin it buy forgetting to take it off when I hop in the shower or something). The bracelet looks good and sturdy from what I can see. Yes, it's great watch, thanks. The only thing I don't like is that "happy feet" on logo, everything else is, practically, perfect. I never tried to swim with watch, so, no idea about waterproofing, but you can use some grease on the caseback gasket and O-ring, and it would be perfectly OK. Ofcourse, you have to test it before diving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally feel for the reps, you should go with as little complication as possible. So a date is the most I would go. Hmm... I wonder if I should switch to just the date complication model instead... I already ordered but I may be able to change it. I don't want any problems with the other complications.

mark76 0 Posted November 16, 2011 Then buy it and enjoy, mate! Good, good... if it is the exact layout as the true Omega, it is in the 9 o'clock position. I don't need the chronograph, it's just that model is the one that struck me. http://www.flickr.com/photos/69870363@N08/6346587376/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mark76 0 Posted November 17, 2011 anybody have an idea of what movement it uses? I'm sure its a Chinese copy, but I'm curious if anyone knows what it's based off of, or if anybody has taken theirs apart to see if it has a movement name or anything like that. I took my rep submariner movement out, and there isn't any marking of any kind on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
