gran Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Seamaster Aqua Terra XXL Small SecondsGenuine:Case Diameter: 49.2 mm (Lug wdth for strap 24mm)NO Screw in crown. Simple pull out crown on genuine.Slightly domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sidesCase SteelDial Grey (dark)Caliber: Omega 2211Manual-winding movement with small seconds at 6 o’clock. Geneva waves, circular graining, rhodium-plated finish gold plated engravings. Officially certified chronometer.Power reserve: 53 hoursPrice: $4,320.00Clasp: Not sureMy Replica from Narikaa (Reg)Positive:Size: Close enough case size and shape etcDial: OK to great. but appears darker than genuine. Genuine dial is more greyish at an angle and the TUXEDO stripes on the dial appear more distinct for this reason alone on the geuine.Omega logo: too smiling like in the olden daysPrint/name: Reasonably similarFace of the watch: A reasonable approximation, sub seconds appear less balanced on dial the the genuine but hands and metal minute indices are reasonable in size and shapeMovement: Beside the 0000000 serial number and that wrong style "Etashoc" is used, this Asian movement is well designed and well markedPower reserve: mine keeps going 48 hours after winding so that must be goodBuckle: it is nice, but genuine is simpler with engraved omega logo.Price: 88Euro or was it pounds TTK will knowSeller: Narikaa (Reg) is fast and effective man.Very positive experiencing to buy from him. No problems there (he must have forgotten I once banned him for two days)Negative:Crown is inferior but is not far from the original as I originally tougth. It is not screw in just as on the genuine.Too hard to wind (but not a problem)Case-back side is the worst part of this STEEL version. (Many errors in using stamps for the gold versions but then thats a plus on the gold reps)Case-back crystal appears inferior to meAR: Not good enough but at least its clear.Strap is a good approximation and also use the red inside stitches, feels too thick and solid/rubberyConclusion: This is more than a a reasonable replica for the money and will likely run forever. On the wrist its a winner. But gold stamps on steel version case-back are unforgivable errors on this version (but is OK for the other two new gold replicas in this series). Screw in crown is lacking?. AR could be improved.These are REGs own pictures of this replica. It looks and feels better than these pictures. He needs help in taking pics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Nice review Gran, these aren't bad reps at all, size is a bit big for me but it certainly looks good on you. More effort put into these than the smaller newer AT's but in fairness the movement issue on those isn't straightforward. Wear it well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovecraft Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks for the review! They are way too big for me, but I like the ATs a lot. I hope to see more of these Again, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hawkes Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think the gen doesn't have a screw-down crown. Wouldn't make too much sense with a manual winding watch anyway. Also on the official omega page there is no mentioning of a screw-down crown while it is mentioned on the standard Aqua Terra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gran Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 UPDATE 18.10.2013: I have now seen the AT XXL genuine watch close up and even had it on my wrist. Sorry no photo as it was at an airport shop in Brussels. New Info: The crown is not screw in on the genuine just as it is on the replica, but obviously the crown and threads etc. are not identical. The dial on the genuine is more greyish at an angle and this enhances the TUXEDO lines on the genuine. Replica dial appears darker (more smooth?) and its tuxedo lines are thus less distinct at most angles. Genuine has SS case so nothing special there. Seeing the genuine movement, the replica movement on my version of this replica has very much the same look and darkish coloured hue. To my surprise, I must say that the replica is surprisingly similar to the genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
