one other thing, what is wrong with the 2220.80 rep? is it just the color and is that the problem on all of them?

I agree with watchman, the current non chrono smps are a disaster beyond belief tbh. better to ask what is right with them than what is wrong with them. Too many issues to list, dial/waves/logos/He/dw/crown/pearls etc. For such a straightforward three hand watch it's ridiculous that there isnt a better rep. As said above an old now closed factory from around 2007 had a better one in production...but those are long gone!

Oh very interesting.

Do you by chance know what dealer would have it in stock?

what are the differences between these two?

Go for the first one, both are same watches, just lighting making one darker in pics but if you look closely one is slightly updated and has correct strikthrough omega logo and the other one has underscoring, not a big deal but the correct logo one is just nicer, it's not exactly a different watch, just a V1.1 update somewhere along the line. Some dealer offer the underscore version, go for one with the correct logo.

See here:

Gen vs new raised logo rep version (this one has underscored logo).

Good review of the raised logo 'red' smp chrono here:

As for who has it in stock, not sure, but they all could get it I'm sure, does Tony not have it in stock?

Ah... two of my favorites.

Try to source the old version of the SMP Chrono. With gen insert it's virtually perfect.

I have no idea if these still pop in the sales section though.

Doesn't make sense to buy an expensive rep of the SMP Bond. I bought the gen for around $1.2K.

It's a cheap watch and there's a lot of them available. :good:

Yep, better to buy a cheap gen smp, even a quartz, which are great value for money than any of the reps. Those old chrono smps were great also, better than the newer rasied marker version for sure.... they seem to be rarer than hens teeth these days unfortunately.
