I don't understand. It's like you're saying you can't learn new information per se.. you're telling me you can't go read and understand the content on speedmaster101 or MWO? (They are written in English btw...) speedmaster101 and MWO can get you started in a really good place.
Adam names it FOIS modded into Ed White. So there is no confusion at all about what you get from him.
Except for the fact that this one does not have a step dial.
Perhaps, but will speedmaster 101 or MWO teach me to identify a chemically-faded bezel?
I don't think that this watch puts you out of the market; if you aren't willing to do a certain amount of research, you were never in it to begin with.
very nice. how expensive was this if any of us wanted to do something similar?
I normally would say "KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!", but I must say I love what was done to this watch and would choose it 100 times out of 100 over the FOIS I tried in the store a couple of weeks ago.
Excellent piece, thank you for sharing!
Some of the subdial white margin look like unpainted/uncoated portion left by Omega and others are not real and due to lighting as I look at it putting a light to it. It's not visible looking directly at the dial and needs a steep angle to notice.
As mentioned above only 1 of those on the hesalite is real and rest was removable dust. Upon closer inspection the persistent one at 730 I think may be a small nick and not dust as it's actually a circle with a clear center (think of it as of hitting a sharp point). I can't tell for sure but it seems to be on the inside as I can't feel it. I've already scratched the hesalite minimally today with light use. If it was sapphire I'd like it fixed but I consider it a wear and tear item being hesalite and it will be replaced in 5 years.
The subdial part doesn't bother me as the rest of the watch has a faux patina on it. Hell maybe even those were added for effect for all I know. If it wasn't a patina watch I may be inclined to do something about it but I'm not. Still enjoy looking at it. 😀
