HeavyKrush 16 Posted August 28, 2012 Damn that does look good, makes me want one, but I'm nervous bout the size of these things. Congrats!!! No reason to be nervous H. The smaller dial and the pronounced bezel makes the watch seem smaller than it really is in my opinion. It really doesn't seem like a large watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 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. Just the one I have on order. Looking forward to receipt. May upgrade to ultimate if it really floats my boat. Not really into the orange band. The watch really sticks out enough as it is for me. Can't wait to see the reactions from my co-workers this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Distinct 0 Posted October 13, 2012 Do they rep these with the metal bracelet? I only ever see them on rubber. They do but the mesh is not the best, it doesn't rival the quality and accuracy of the rubber. Most people buy the mesh separately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I'd rather buy it with the mesh then buy the rubber seperately haha. Only because I vastly prefer the look of it on a bracelet, but I'm sure I'd switch to rubber eventually.

I think I'd rather buy it with the mesh then buy the rubber seperately haha. Only because I vastly prefer the look of it on a bracelet, but I'm sure I'd switch to rubber eventually. You will want the suppaparts mesh but I don't think they have any stock. So here's my original post from a little while ago ( http://www.replica-w...opic=21166&st=0 ). It has the original pictures I took and a lume shot. I knew the watch would generate a lot of reaction from people here and I'm sure in the end actually made at least a few people reconsider their original opinion of the watch. I ordered the shark mesh from suppaparts (currently out of stock according to their site) and it arrived no problem. The mesh had been sitting on my shelf for over a month while my watch was being repaired and serviced at a local watchsmith, who is now ordering some from Mary because he is amazed at the watch quality. He's really impressed by the casing, dial face, strap and clasp, not so much the movement. So I got the watch back yesterday and set to work swapping the white strap (which I still love) for the shark mesh bracelet. It was a bit of a pain dealing with some of the pins and lugs but nothing impossible. Now that I've done it once, I can easily and quickly do it when I want to switch between the rubber and the mesh. On the mesh, the watch looks very different and I like it a lot. A few tips and observations: 1) For anyone who is going to get the mesh, ensure that you use clasp side end links that will make the strap 24 mm wide. If you don't and just have mesh at the clasp side, it will slide around. 2) There is one particular end link that you should try to use that is like a U instead of the H of the others. 3) The mesh at the smallest setting of links and clasp adjustment is going to be larger than with the rubber strap. So if you have a small wrist and your rubber strap setting was a good comfortable tight fit, moving to this mesh bracelet will result in a looser feel. The minimum length of the bracelet is slightly longer than the minimum rubber strap options. It is also related to 4) below. 4) The rubber strap is much thicker and is in a fixed position angle protruding from the casing. The mesh is much thinner and freer angled so you can actually place the watch down on a table and the mesh bracelet can come back at a 90 degree angle, like it was a desk clock. You cannot do this with the rubber strap. 5) The mesh rips hair out like an angry fucking animal. Be prepared for this. I can look down at my naked wrist and clearly see where a watch was. The weight of the watch is immense and it has a mind and will of it's own to grab hold of hair and use the watch weight to rip it out like you were visiting the beauty salon and getting a wax before vacation (like I know you all do).

Pmat 1 Posted August 7, 2013 Sorry P, that's actually black. The white balance is off on the photo mate. Hah, no wonder I couldn't find it anywhere!!! It does look nice in 'black with the white balance off' though - much better than regular black, white or orange! Maybe Omega need to consider this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
