RepGuy 108 Posted October 15, 2017 This arrived yesterday from a TD next door and I snapped a few shots that night. After getting some wrist time today, my general thoughts are it's a great rep even with it's shortcomings. The model I received was updated from the model shown on the TD's site, which was a welcome change due to the updated spacing in the bezel rubber, as well as updated back lug engraving from the old "Stainless Steel" wording, to the correct "Titanium" one. Its a large watch, coming in at 45.5mm, but fits well with the lug shape and the thickness is similar to other large diameter watches. Case engravings are crisp, and the orange bezel rubber is clean and fills in well compared to the gen. The movement decoration has all wording spelled correctly (which was an issue with past models), and looks the part, even though it will rarely be seen. The bracelet is hefty and feels secure when locked down, and the engravings on it are similarly crisp like in the case. The multi colored lume is average for a rep, but looks to be applied cleanly and evenly. The grey dial looks as good as it did in the promo pictures, but lacks the luster compared to when I tried on the gen in an AD. For a rep, this is acceptable, and expected due to the different dial materials used between the gen and rep. All dial markers are even and, aside from the slightly misaligned chrono hand, everything lines up perfectly. The chrono also works perfectly, due to accidental hitting the pusher when adjusting the bracelet upon arrival, which ran for several minutes without issue. This model also features the black balance wheel as per gen, as well as a functioning minute/second combined subdial as per gen. Although this feature won't get much (if any) use, it's nice to have something more mechanically similar to the gen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

childishthing 1 Posted January 7, 2018 This looks stunning. I'm currently saving up for the gen, and these are so darn tempting (but I must not give in). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edkorante 0 Posted January 8, 2018 Amazing!! This was my first rep purchase and I am super looking forward to receiving it . Enjoy!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yarn 0 Posted January 31, 2018 Gorgeous. I have been looking for a really nice rep for precisely this model. Repguy, which factory made this rep? Is it BP (my guess) or Noob? Enjoy one of the easily best Omega's around (IMHO of course ...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KayGee 0 Posted February 5, 2018 How is the bracelet? Usually that is the weak link on large reps like this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus9 25 Posted February 7, 2018 Hey Buddy, I know its been a while since you received this watch, and the pics are very helpful. I believe only OM and JH are making this style, do you know who made this watch? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every once in a while the sweatshop child assemblers rebel against their masters and clandestinely study during their three hours rest time and if they survive long enough to learn by candlelight how to scribe their given name you may find hidden within the deep internals of the watch the sad pathetic scratched embodiment of their name maybe even a hair or some other poignant keepsake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexus9 25 Posted February 22, 2018 11 hours ago, dwagner309 said: How do you find out who made the watch you get? Hahaha...... Orrrrr.... some watch models are only manufactured by a few factories, and our TRUSTED dealers will often list the factory in the description. Some folks actually develop a preference and look for a watch by a certain factory. Some watch reps actually have a reputation for buying certain models and modifying the weak points into a better watch. Many different sources, and some have a better reputation for consistency, so when you see a nice looking rep, it's useful to know where it came from. Along with the pubes.

BadApple 13,081 Posted February 22, 2018 I see this has the thick orange paint texture on the bezel unlike the gen. For some reason all rep the factories seem to get this so wrong. I have an Omega from Reg that seems to have cracked this issue - see below. Otherwise that is a beautiful watch. Gen: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gen: Actually on the Omega from Reg it might look "good" but it's completely wrong. On the gen Omega, it's NOT paint. It's a very uniform layer of orange rubber filled the engraved area from 12-3. On the replica, they tried to duplicate that orange rubber layer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus9 25 Posted February 22, 2018 Huh. How is that wrong? It looks more like the gen to me than the paint. I've actually written to Reg about this very watch, but, middle of the holidays- not expecting a response for another week or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
