gran 198 Posted March 31, 2012 Seamaster Aqua Terra XXL Small Seconds Genuine: Case Diameter: 49.2 mm (Lug wdth for strap 24mm) Crown (not sure if genuine has screw-down crown or not) Domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides Case Steel Dial Grey (dark) Caliber: Omega 2211Manual-winding movement with small seconds at 6 o’clock. Geneva waves, circular graining, rhodium-plated finish gold plated engravings. Officially certified chronometer. Power reserve: 53 hours Price: $4,320.00 Clasp: Not sure what it should look like My Replica from Narikaa (Reg) Positive: Size: Close enough case size and shape etc Dial: OK to great. but appears darker than genuine Omega logo: Too smiling like in the olden days Print/name: Reasonably similar Face of the watch: A reasonable approximation, sub seconds appear less balanced on dial the the genuine but hands and metal minute indices are reasonable in size and shape Movement: Beside the 0000000 serial number and that wrong style "Etashoc" is used, this Asian movement is well designed and well marked Power reserve: mine keeps going 48 hours after winding so that must be good Buckle: it is nice, but I am ot sure how the genuine looks like Price: 88Euro or was it pounds TTK will know Seller: Narikaa (Reg) is fast and effective man.Very positive experiencing to buy from him. No problems there (he must have forgotten I once banned him for two days) Negative: Crown is reasonable (Not screw-down) A little too hard to wind (but not a big problem) Case-back side is the worst part of this STEEL version. (Many errors in using stamps for the gold versions but then thats a plus on the gold reps) Case-back crystal appears inferior to me AR: Not good enough? but at least its not blue Strap is a good approximation and also use the red inside stitches, feels too thick and solid/rubbery Conclusion: This is more than a a reasonable replica for the money and will likely run forever. On the wrist its a winner. But gold stamps on steel version case-back are unforgivable errors on this version (but is OK for the other two new gold replicas in this series). . AR could be improved I guess. These are REGs own pictures of this replica. It looks and feels better than these pictures. He needs help in taking pics.

watch.aholic 538 Posted April 2, 2012 Is the lume any good on this one? If it's pathetic then I am thinking that upon my purchase (when Narikaa replenishes his stock), I'd have it sent to Kenny for a lume job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gran 198 Posted April 2, 2012 The lume is great the minute after being exposed to sun light and you walk into a dark room even, but obviously it does not last very long. The lume is not bad being a replica, and is long enough to enjoy looking at it under the bed sheets for a while. Tritium would have been the best on this watch given the small areas for lume. However, this watch has very very small areas for lume beside hands, so lume is not comparable to the Railmaster XXL with lume all over the place...if you want lume go with the Railmaster XXL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should have asked this before but is that leather strap any good? I better get down hunting down a good gen croc for this as the band will make this watch....What's the length of that rep strap....I know its' 24/20 and since my wrist is just a tad over 7.5 inches (just like yours), looking at your wristie that length seems perfect.

gran 198 Posted October 20, 2013 UPDATE 18.10.2013: I have now seen the AT XXL genuine watch close up and even had it on my wrist. Sorry no photo as it was at an airport shop in Brussels. New Info: The crown is not screw in on the genuine just as it is on the replica, but obviously the crown and threads etc. are not identical. The dial on the genuine is more greyish at an angle and this enhances the TUXEDO lines on the genuine. Replica dial appears darker (more smooth?) and its tuxedo lines are thus less distinct at most angles. Genuine has SS case so nothing special there. Seeing the genuine movement, the replica movement on my version of this replica has very much the same look and darkish coloured hue. To my surprise, I must say that the replica is surprisingly similar to the genuine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
