Engage them in conversation, ask a few questions, but bear in mind, most people hate it when the authenticity of the watch is questioned, especially if you ask more than once.

But if you get one, you'll love it. The green and black looks fantastic together. It will keep time very well, much better than older Rolexes. The downside is that it will stop after quite a short time, less than 2 days definitely, even if it's fully manually wound up.

PM me if you have any other questions/concerns
Any problems with winding, and you get one of these:

My two subs (LV and black one) live in there when I'm not wearing them - looks great as well....

However, not cheap... unless you compare it with the price of the watches!

Lovely looking watch but not sure I'd put that much in to an Omega- but thats just me.

Part of the beauty of Rolex for me is that you can convert to cash pretty much instantly if required.

Enjoy

They stopped making the original LV subs a long time ago. The 'LVs' one purchases now are different and will be worth less in the future.

Sounds like nothing but Rolex collectors are extremely **** about such little variations. This version of the watch will end up being worth a lot more than the later kermit.

GOLDSMITHS in Nottm had a DeepSea SeaDweller in stock the other week when i went in, as he said did i want to see it!

The concealed clasp is the new addition on the Jubilee braclet, think it came in on the 2006 models.
Looks good on the ladies watches but not sure on the mans... too girlie
