Re: any rose gold in the BOD?
I've never understood Omega's obscene pricing structure for titanium and precious metals. It's a shame, because some of their most interesting stuff really mixes it up, like the tantalum/RG Diver 300 or the titanium/RG Seamaster 300.
Re: any rose gold in the BOD?
Omega watches in precious metals tank spectacularly on the second-hand market though, so they usually represent pretty good bargains relatively. You just have to wait for the first sucker to buy the watch you want and get tired of it.

I own a genuine Croton.
Re: any rose gold in the BOD?
Yup, RG bezel, crown and handset (that's oddly my favorite detail – no white seconds hand), and an SS case and ceramic insert. Tone of the gold matches the cream indexes perfectly, now I just need a good black 21mm rubber strap...
Re: any rose gold in the BOD?
looking forward to seeing it in some WRUW threads.

Re: any rose gold in the BOD?
no comparison given all the technical developments the extreme lab represents, but the LW is at least interesting to look at to check the time
thought extlab never needed service because of the near frictionless operation? preemptive, or??
did you service your others? i've been told it's quite reasonable, given the number of complications and complexity of the total package

Re: any rose gold in the BOD?
This one was kinda abused by the previous owner, so it definitely needed a full service. In addition, crystal was scratched, etc... all-in-all, the estimate for the service and parts replacement was about $2k and 11 weeks turnaround, which is really not all that bad considering the level of effort and expertise that is likely involved.jtbenson wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 9:58 amno comparison given all the technical developments the extreme lab represents, but the LW is at least interesting to look at to check the time

Re: any rose gold in the BOD?
about what i was told, and frankly i find it hard to believe it's not more. that turnaround is very reasonable as well, glws(ervice)

That's actually astonishingly cheap for a JLC service – especially at that level.matt.wu wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 11:39 amThis one was kinda abused by the previous owner, so it definitely needed a full service.

(Love the RG Linde Werdelin that just popped up – easily one of my favorite cases out there.)

Surprisingly reasonable and quick. Can they do the work in the USA?matt.wu wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 11:39 amThis one was kinda abused by the previous owner, so it definitely needed a full service.

Nope, this one needed to go to Switzerland, but they took care of the international shipping. I only had to ship it to TX.JP Chestnut wrote:Surprisingly reasonable and quick.

We’ll see how close to the timeline estimates they actually land, but the responsiveness up to this point has been a pleasant surprise.
Re: any rose gold in the BOD?
this is good to hear.
extlab has been my grail/exit, and your pics are pushing me closer to the edge (lw distraction, cough).

Re: any rose gold in the BOD?
Just saw this one posted on Instagram. I'd definitely take this over the stainless steel.
