does the WBK SMP have a screw down crown?
it does, though I'm afraid I'm going to strip it every time I use it--- perhaps I'm just overly cautious though

I have the same one from WBK also and its my favorite Omega watch. It is the watch I wear when I go on a trip - somehow fits.
I only wish someone would make a better bracelet for them. I used to own the gen and the bracelet has many more parts and feels much sleeker on your skin.
It is also the biggest giveaway that it is a rep..
Wear it well
I haven't seen/worn a gen bracelet so I don't have anything to compare my rep too, but I haven't really had a complaint with the look/feel of it. I thought I might try the garage door lube mod to see if that would work out the few squeaks it has however and give it a silkier feel.

WBK gets these Asian versions of SMP... very nice reps for the money. I owned a black GMT from him... the review is in my section, check it out.
Enjoy!
exactly, for <$100 I couldn't ask for more, the overall watch has met and exceeded my expectations. Certainly a nice way to enter the rep game

Paid for this on a Sat or Sun from WBK, and had in on my wrist on Wednesday. Incredibly fast shipping and great customer service. No worries, and a great experience for buying my first rep.
Love the watch overall, easy band to resize with pins and overall nice quality. Few little flaws, misaligned datewheel, and insert (which was fixed in a few minutes with a blow dryer). Fantastic wave pattern on the dial though, and lume is quite acceptable for a rep. 21J is keeping good time so far. Probably a ~24-36 hour power reserve I'd say.
FWIW it passed the gen owners test, though they weren't enthusiasts by any means. "wow, that looks almost as good as your rolex" said the wife of a GMT II owner--- she'd never admit anyways that it looks just as good
Anyways, on to my sorry first attempts for pics

This is classic: "dial may need refinishing"
