HeavyKrush 16 Posted August 27, 2012 I have to say that this is the most anticipated watch of my meager collection. When I tried this one on at the AD I went straight home and started my research. Originally I was on the fence with buying the V1.5 21J version or spending the extra cash for V2 with clone ETA. It was even harder after reading Greg's review of his V1.5. I sprung for the V2 clone ETA and never looked back. I am absolutely flabbergasted by the quality of this watch. In every way it exceeded my wildest imagination on how good a rep could be. If my local Omega boutique guy got his hands on this watch he'd shit his pants for sure. Ok enough of that crap, on to a short review and what everyone really wants to see, the pics! As some are aware the strap requires cutting the rubber down to the correct length. For my 7.25" wrist I have (1-2) holes left on each strap. I let the clasp adjuster do the rest. Have to say I was super nervous about cutting the strap as there's no turning back once the cut has been made. The clasp is very solid. I was fully prepared to gut a Bic lighter for the spring mod, but my clasp is super tight with a solid clicking of the adjuster. The bezel is difficult to rotate but does require the orange pusher to unlock. The movement is buttery smooth. The weight of the watch is significant but doesn't bother me one bit. The size though large is not overwhelming. Pics now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffw69 0 Posted August 28, 2012 Nice, a bit boring for me on the black rubber. I have the white on white ultimate V2 with swiss, maybe it's time for black dial with orange strap. Hmmmmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
