nikcorda 0 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) very excited about my first replica purchase! i choose Silix as my trusted dealer due to their great feedback. michelles customer service is amazing, and i will surely be going to her for my next purchase. i logged the process here if anyone is interested -http://www.rwg.bz/bo...showtopic=92593 its been keeping time pretty well over the past few days, averaging about +10 seconds a day. chronograph functions well, date flips over right around midnight. havent pressure tested it for water resistance yet, going to take it by the stand at the mall sometime this week. also, if anyone can help identify which factory this movement came from, that would be extremely helpful. the obvious "tells" are: 1. no anti reflective coating. this was the last watch of this model michelle could source, as they stopped producing this model years ago, so it was take it or leave it. i will most likely be replacing the crystal because of this at some point. who knows, maybe i'll get used to it. 2. the font for the numbers on the sub dials are a bit smaller than the gen. only an AD or someone who owns this model would ever notice this. 3. white background date wheel. easily fixable. probably swapping an ETA movement in this anyways. minor issues: 1. bezel. font and hash marks are just barely off. if i ever come across a good deal on a gen bezel i might buy one, but its not a big deal at all. 2. clasp. omega clasps notorious for being poor, mine is no exception. engraving is shallow and rough. edges are rough and nasty. pins holding everything together are very loose. etc etc. will definitely be buying a new one as soon as i can, unless i can fix the pin issue somehow.. overall, very happy, and a good first experience in the replica world!!

nikcorda 0 Posted January 14, 2015 now i really understand why omega discontinued the model. replica fans dont care about it either haha! Nice! How is the clasp? besides the issues i described with the clasp/bracelet in the original post, its actually very sturdy, and closes with a nice snap.
