I agree with some of the other members. I've worn all my reps right out the box to the pool...snorkeling, swimming, and diving down to 50ft. Zero issues but prior to this I always tighten down the case back. Several reps I received have had loose case backs but everything else was fine.

@seraphe the 45mm has better quality crown & tube threading is longer, crisper more precise dial, better clasp, and most importantly no large CheerioOOOOOOOOO in the OMEGA logo. Overall the 45mm is better constructed. The only downside is the lack of AR which IMHO is not that bad compared to the other high points of this watch. If the AR bothers you that much it's an easy fix since a gen XL PO crystal will fit it. Check with member sunny who sometimes has a stock of double coated aftermarket PO crystals.

45mm is definitely the overall better rep.

Yes Neo it does unscrew like the gen.

Welcome to the forum Dam. Josh is a stand up guy. First of all contact him and see if he'll cover the repair then send it to MD2020 he is a great Watchsmith and has done work for me exceeding my expectations. Josh may just exchange for a new one and like MD said this is NOT the norm. I've been buying REPS 20yrs and never got a DOA. Best of luck!

Strinos they all come from the same factory....only one factory currently makes the JLC NSD. I would recommend Andrew at Trusty time or Josh at Perfect Clones. Any trusted dealer can get the JLC NSD and it will have the same quality. 

Here ya go strinos

Go Swiss my friend. If Swiss is an option I always go for it. It gives any watch that lil extra something  . Also increases resale value and is more reliable. You pay more up front but remember the ole saying you get what you pay for. Asian movements are reliable as well but don't have the lifespan of the Swiss. I own the JLC NSD with Swiss Selita SW200 movement and I LUV IT!!!! Keeps great time and like I said its a Swiss movement...need I say more  BTW the JLC Navy Seal Diver is an AWESOME watch...A SUPER REP! Check the review done by another member. It gets alot of my wrist time. Enjoy to the max!

Oh i'm clear seraphe I was saying its such a good rep it looks gen all the way Enjoy to the max my friend!

@sunny hook a brother up!

Ha remember english is NOT their first language!

Nice pics!

Very nice Kuba!

Nice!

Keep us posted on how it works!

@hazey just the room light and yes it does glow faintly in certain low level situations(lift or bus) after being exposed to sunlight. The more intense the sunlight the brighter it will be. Hope this helps with your decision. I highly recommend this rep but if you're going for the 45mm I would recommend waiting til the second batch is released because supposedly the factory is putting the proper AR on it. I pretty happy with my mine as is. If they offer an upgrade for those who already purchased I may take them up on it depending on the turn around time. I like this watch so much I'd hate to be without it for an extended time.

It's a rep there will always be something. I'd go for the first one! Enjoy to the max!

Update gents I retested the Lume and I stand corrected IT IS SUPERLUMINOVA! I woke up at 2am and my watch was still glowing! Awesome! I retract my earlier comment. I do believe the new Omega Ceramic Planet Ocean is a strong contender for being a SUPER REP! Enjoy to the max!      

Be like water my friend CNY is rough on us watch geeks

Oooor just sell it and pick up the new ceramic PO

Also get you a brushed stainless steel scratch repair pad on eBay for $10. It'll bring the life back to any of your scratched up watches.

BTW seraphe watch looks great....GEN all the way! Enjoy to the max!

Cougar I agree you are correct! Andrew has told me the second batch is coming soon with correct AR. He is working with the factory to get a free upgrade for those who have purchased the first batch but expect at least a two to three month turn around

Wow hazey you got alot going on there buddy but I'm here to help! First thing the bezel replacement is easy job you can do yourself(check the repair/mod section for tips) if not send it to MD2020 who is Watchsmith in USA. Nice guy fair price. He also will start relume jobs soon as well or there is a guy in Greece named the RELUMER google him to find his website. The pin can be replaced by any jeweler. It's an easy inexpensive fix but MD2020 can take care of that as well. Success to you!

I don't think its a new batch of 45mm PO if you noticed the pics were taken in low light conditions not much reflection. Check out my quick review and you'll see the true quality of the 45mm AR I took the pics in very high intense daylight conditions. Definitely one side AR but does disappear at different angles.
