squiff76 0 Posted January 1, 2014 Hi all. Just ordered the 50th anniversary 007 from Michelle at Silix the other day. Has anyone else got this rep? It looks to be a nice one. It comes with Swiss 2824-2 movement. Really looking forward to getting this so when I get it I will be adding some pics! This is my 2nd post I joined yesterday. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty010 1 Posted January 1, 2014 I just ordered mine from watchinternational. But I'm already looking forward to it. Good to see the pictures when yours arrives Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted January 1, 2014 Got this one from Reg some time ago. Just a cheapy 21J but has a nice feel to it and keeps fine time! Has a faults in the crystal and lots of tells but as it was a cheapy I didn't worry about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squiff76 0 Posted January 1, 2014 Nice to hear from you both. I know there are a few different types of this watch. Monty010 have you ordered the same movement as me? Read some good stuff on this watch. ShovelnTC that one looks very nice. I bet you get a few looks wearing that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GardnerMS 0 Posted January 2, 2014 I have the same 21j from WatchesInternational…. At 42mm, it seems small on the wrist (ok, so I like my 45.5mm watches) QQ: How do you use the diver's extension? I can't seem to figure that one out... mG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty010 1 Posted January 2, 2014 Love the reg 21j version! had the feeling it would be a snowballs chance in hell before you'd let that one go. So I ordered on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GardnerMS 0 Posted January 3, 2014 I wore my cheapie yesterday and have two observations.. 1) lume isn't worth powering a lightning bug (firefly) .. 2) Boy, do I miss the AR I have on my other two Omega reps (Skyfall and 45.5 CrPO) .. Crystal is going to have to be replaced at some point.. For the price I paid, it will be a nice watch to wear, but won't be the go-to watch I wear daily… That's not the TD's fault… If I had wanted to, I could have bought the better version… This might be the one I use as a franken project... mG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

credo325 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Great looking watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squiff76 0 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) It caught my eye straight away. As soon as I get it will be posting pics. :-) Looking at the Skyfall PO also. I'm a sucker for bond watches. I'm a noob but been reading loads on this forum and am learning so much... Edited January 7, 2014 by squiff76 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kernow 33 Posted January 9, 2014 Here's mine after I corrected the position of the insert. Bought in a M2M sale on one of the forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squiff76 0 Posted January 9, 2014 I just received the watch today. It's is really nice. But I unscrewed the crown to set the time and date. Went to screw it back in and it won't screw in. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squiff76 0 Posted January 10, 2014 I took the watch to a watch repairers and managed to get it fixed. The thread was moving around with the crown. All sorted. Will post some pic's tomorrow. Much happier now lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty010 1 Posted January 10, 2014 Great that it was easily fixed. Now you can go and enjoy it Will be great to see the Pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squiff76 0 Posted January 11, 2014 Well the crown keeps popping out. And now the clasp doesn't close at all! Not having much luck. Will have to send it back now. :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kernow 33 Posted January 15, 2014 Bugger, that's disappointing. Let us know how you get on with getting swapped over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
