Well I took the plunge been waiting a few weeks on this one josh told me they were due early new year so I've been holding of as my other po went to early grave

 

Ordered the 45.5 with orange numerals

 

Will post some pics when it arrives got the leather strap with white or orange twitching will probably switch to that when it arrives

 

The wait begins

 

I love this obsession ;)

Ordered mine from Josh too. Haven't been this excited about a rep in a while. I didn't hear any hype on this one, but it looks awesome! I'll post copious pics as well.

I'll wait for the Asian ETA clone version to come in a while, or buy a catch and release Swiss ETA version :D

It looks like that caseback for 45 PO is not accurate either,as it says Liquidmetal which is not the case with 42 PO.

I ordered the 45MM w/ red numbers. Regarding the case-back, yes it's not correct, but who cares. NO one sees the back. I think the movement decorations are some of the best I've ever seen on any rep (other than Panerai of course).

The movement decorations are pretty darn good already I think. It will never look the gen will it?

Thats normal. You'll get the qc pics later. The tracking number is used just to associate you with your order (and later for tracking).

Ha me to, might be prepared to splash put for a clone at some point though if they become available. I'll wait to see some member reviews first.

I'm not sure about OMEGA sign on dial..is it printed or that's a plate? Gen has kinda plated sign, and Liquidmetal sign on the caseback of 45mm ver is not so nice, letter "e" is not printed well.

Horrible misprints on the mov-t:

adjuste dto fiye

wtf? No seriously, I thought these times are over now..such silly misprints ruins all good efforts

Here you can check pics of gen.

I saw this yesterday on his website and I thought it looked great albeit maybe a bit too much on what I would be willing to spend. It was good that he pointed out details like correct HE valve etc. Certainly looks smarter then the LM PO rep but that one probably will improve with time.

lets face it, unless you give the watch to someone who has a gen or is as compulsive as some of the folks on here no one is going to know the difference. I would even think most owners of a gen wouldn't spot the differences unless they are watch 'fans' or had exactly the same model.

The first thing I need to say (and I've said it before) is that I don't really understand the Omega range and the reps available very well.

 

However a little while ago I bought a cheap/cheerful blue 'Ceramic' PO because I liked the look of it and understanding that it almost certainly isn't the greatest (closest to gen) rep out there.

 

Just for my on-going education, can I ask the experts to cast an eye over it and tell me:

  • where mine 'fails' as a rep against the gen
  • where these new reps are better

Cheers,

Can you both please post backcase pictures where "Professional" is engraved.

 

 

 

Kind regards

Sorry it's taken a few days to get a pic. It's not the greatest photo ever taken but I hope it's informative.

Out of interest, what are you looking for?

Oh my gosh that's terrible. I can live with the JLC "MASTBR" but this is terrible (for me). Ah well guess won't be ordering after all.

Yes though unclear if that spacing typo can be seen with the caseback screwed on

It is on an edge that the bevel of the caseback may completely cover, I am not sure

What's the problem? When the back is on you can't see it anyway.

Do you take your back off to show your movement to people?
