Nope, Lemania Cosmonaut Chorno is normal edition. There are few versions of it. There are 2 units there which is 40mm in diameter.
There do have another one LE with some arts design on the dial.
I think not much people appreciate or have knowledge about Lemania 5100, thus can't sell so well here.

the emotus sales until???

all ML are on 60% dsicount?

Just came back from emotus. Limited selection and while stocks lasts. ML is quite limited range. Fortis has quite a big range available.. I think cause its not a very well known brand here. Lots of Raymond Weil as well.

ohhh. which collection from ML? mind to share?

I checked out the Omega Liquidmetal Seamaster (Planet Ocean) - the size perfect for me - 42mm. But Im not sure if it's worth the price. This is similiar to the James Bond version - but that has sold out.

I'm looking for something along the Rolex. Submariner style of link and face (black background, date only, bezel optional, self winding) and this was the closest I could fine. Any of the guru's care to propose something. I'm currently using a Longines Master Collection -nice watch but the power reserve a bit too short. Thanks.

whats your budget? LE version at CHF$5200 release back in Oct 09 even if U find it it maybe sold at retail now.
the OP shown in the link is cheaper retailing at ~US$4K. omega discount very much controlled ~15% iirc.
anyway there are tons of Rolex Submariner homage around, have u checked out page 1 post 1?

why do U say the pwr res on the longines s short? it should be at least 40hrs.
the Omega Liquidmetal is at 48hrs not too long either.

Have you thought of having a customized watch ?

MK2 (wwwmkiiwatches.com) allows you to create a customized watch ( with certain constraints. It uses ETA movements so it should be reasonably reliable.

I would suggest you check out the website & obtain the drivers watch in the style of the submariner & order the NATO strap similar to what Sean Connery wore in Dr No.

Guys, this could be old news but it's news to me!

Just saw the Invicta booth at Pavilion yesterday but couldn't go as I was going off.

To anyone who's been there, how are the collections?

any guys deal with an online store for watches, prices seems reasonable. Is it for real? i think is called bodying

not dealt with the store bodying. if U check across varies online store and the prices are too good to be true, chances are its not real.

search around on watch forums for reviews.

Hello all... I want to ask how to adjust time for tag heuer.. I pull the adjust thing out.. Just bought my tag heuer from watatime pavillion...

read the user manual.

didn't the sales person teach u?
if not read the usual manual, U should have it.
it there for such things.

Would you know anyone who can remove the crown guards for the Submariner? It would be interesting to buy a pre-owned one for modification & worn with similar patterned NATO straps

I don't think the crown guard can be removed as it formed part of the watch case.

Bamfords & some of the watch customizers on line seem to offer versions without the crown guard but in PVD black. The prices they charge are astronomical.

The other possible project is to take an existing day date and change the dial to a "California dial" which may make things interesting. Not sure if anyone can do this locally

Actually you can buy parts and build yourself. But it will be the franken watch and not original. Try google yuki watch.
