Thick crown

Latest DSN dial

Vaclumed

Is this a fairly accurate piece, I hope to add a dark ammo strap. Basically I just want a fairly authentic looking, reliable watch....

Any comments? I keep reading about the swiss vs asian movement, what should I be opting for?

Thanks

Hi Guys

I'm considering adding a Pam to my collection. I have a Omega SMP Chrono franken (which is now 99% genuine) and a super lumed Breitling with gen deployant/leather strap

I like the classic look of the Pams, so my question is:

Which is the best, most ultimate rep available and from which dealer?

Thanks

Mine arrives tomorrow, but I am currently in NYC on business and won't be home 'til the weekend. Let me know if you have any trouble with yours.

Thanks

Did you fit it??

my watchsmith has repaired my stem issue and is installing the crown/tube tomorrow...

He is also pressure testing it..

Thanks for the pics, and the time to post them, much appreciated.

no dramas!

Cheers for the comments,

When not a lot is known about something like this,

these little pieces of info start to build a better picture.

Btw , specialvat , Great avatar. ( a real bit of style.)

Thats a gen.

I put a gen strap/deployant on my SOSF, here are the pictures

I'll get a few action shots of the watch soon in my new car

Watch has been sent to local watch smith to install the gen Crown & Tube. ETA 7750 is being serviced also as its slipping when winding and has also stopped. Hopefully Ill get it back shortly!

Only thing not gen, is the case

EDIT: Never mind. I found an old The Zigmeister post that has the info.

Did you fit these yet? My gen crown/tube arrived from Ofrei also. I'm having it fitted next week along with a service of the ETA 7750 that The Zigmeister installed

I hope it fits!

OH MAN THAT LOOKS GOOD !!!!!!! the tracking number silix gave me sez mine should be at my door today .....but i might be out the door soon to get that loom .......... wear it well .....

Thanks

Guys, can we limit the PM's i'm getting sent!!

Strap/Deployant was purchased from a AD, cost was $490 AUD. Yes I love the strap and watch

that looks very nice!! did he also re-lume the pearl as well? looks great..congrats.

Yep! Pearl and all no half hearted jobs around here hehe

Ahh, I wondered if that might've been the reason

I'll get a few action shots of the watch soon in my new car

It is true that there are very few visable difference between the rep dial and genuine. Obviously the gen has superlume, but new, they can be really hard to find. The ones that you can get hold of are very old in most instances, with faded/brown hour markers. So a relumed rep dial would be a very viable alternative.

Hey Guys!

Mikey is right, the gen dial had bad lume so it was redone to match the new hands. Yes, the hands are red and the dial markers are more red then orange. It looks to match perfectly. Again, the bezel lume is green, whilst dial lume is more milky white, when its glowing the color is the same. Apparently this is like the gen also!

Gen dial has correct color markers and correct M in Seamaster, small but to me important.

Rep crown/step, will be gen when I get a service on the movement. No changes to crystal, i believe its 100% like the gen

i love the watch, looks fantastic!

Some dodgy pics of the Lume! Canon 5D with 35mm F1.4L

Lumed by The Zigmeister, looks pretty good!

Installed with genuine leather strap & deployant! Love this watch now

Yep! It's finally done. Arrived back from The Zigmeister today

First up, Omega SMP Chrono, now fitted with:

Genuine Dial

Genuine Hands, Yep all of them inc the sub hands

Genuine Bracelet, Costly but worth it!

ETA 7750 Movement

Genuine Bezel & Insert (yes it does fit)

The Zigmeister installed it all, looks great and works nicely! Going to have to run it in now. Dial has been relumed too, it looks a tad off on inspection (dial looks a bit more 'brown' but I'm sure the bezel lume will wear a bit and match (its brand new)

Some pictures:

Cheers

Hey Mikey

The Zigmeister having a few issues installing my genuine bezel, can you let us know how it was done?

Thanks

das

Looks great, I would settle for a good rep deploymant if I could find one.

The price of the genuine is a bit hot for me, beautiful though, I can see why you went for it.

Thanks guys!

The gen is def worth it, makes the watch!

very nice combo you got there. those gen straps with deplyants are very expensive!! for what you spent you might have been able to get a gen for a little more. regardless it looks good congrats.

Thanks, doubt it. Total cost was $800 AUD, Gen is $4200q

My Breitling SuperOcean Steelfish

Sending the watch back to the dealer who will 'repair' it... should be interesting!

Update: Watch was totally replaced a few weeks back, great service from King. HIGHLY recommended

Here is a photo

I forgot, The dial on Ebay is the item number 110185918601.

Nice one, you said genuine case back? where is that on ebay?

Great review! Thanks!

I agree with this being one of the very best Omega replicas. The Bond-Seamaster is also very good, but the wave pattern on the dial is for some reason better replicated on the chrono. Personally, the helium-valve position issue have I never understood.

Nice review! I am now fixing all the issues on my rep Chrono SMP.

I received yesterday my genuine hands and the sub dial hands, the color is VERY different to the replica. The Gen hands are far more 'red'. I also received the entire bezel assembly, which again is different. The numbers on the genuine bezel are smaller, and the pearl is larger and higher in the triangle.

I also have a genuine bracelet and eta 7750 in the mail along with a genuine dial! The replica dial has a issue with Master, with the M being more N

Here are some pics of the hands/bezel I got yesterday

Ill post some pictures once its been fully modded

Hi folks,

Has anyone replaced the bezel of the perfect SMP chrono with a gen?

I manage to buy one from Ofrei.

I' ve already replace sapphire and crown by gens found on Ebay.

I've also ordered a gen dial.

Some help or topic link should be appreciated.

Thanks

My gen bezel should arrive soon from Ofrei, is there a diff on the sapphire? I thought it was the same. Where did you get the gen dial from?

I believe OEM bezels can be made to fit. The problem is finding one. Anyone know an ebay seller to contact?

relume looks good, but still diffrent to gen...

Forget it! A gen bezel won't fit as the bezel assembly is entirely different from the rep's. The rep has a click-on bezel (the screws are just for looks), the gen is screwed into place.

Thats a bummer!!! what about dial, for better lume?
