Andrews version doesn't have white second hand

It's also got "8500" on the rotor, rather than "8400".

I am hoping it is corrected before shipping out.

You will have to let us know... maybe share a QC pic also so we can see what is actually being shipped.

I'd be really interested to see this when someone gets it. I went into my local Omega AD and its not available in the UK until Feb/March 2015.

[secfincorp]

got qc pics and it exactly like the one sead posted on this forum. i cant tell if the seconds hand is white or chrome. Andut trew did me a huge solid on my last purchase so i didnt push him about the hand color. but i cant tell.....

btw, he said this watch came from BP factory and PT is coming from a different factory, that may be the one to get if in fact they make those corrections.....

[m24601]

That looks chrome to me unfortunately.

Definitely not white.  Dark reflections on the tip are a dead giveaway.

M: I would have thought this would be right up your alley (aside from not being vintage of course) with the straight lugs ( I think I do like it and will have a look at the AD ASAP).

PS: Akira and I were thinking of you when he visited me here a few weeks ago. Time for another mini-GTG ....

E: Oh, I'm definitely getting this one after all details are sorted out! I'd also like to wait until after the real thing is released, so we can have a better idea on how accurate the rep really is.

Funny how far away that 2012 meet-up now seems! Next one in New York, Nicaragua, or Antibes?

I think it looks great. In addition to the hands and movement markings, there are a couple other minor tweaks that seem like they'd be easy to make for a V2: either the hour markers or hour hand are too short, since the tips touch on the gen. The dial here looks a little less textured, and the faux vintage lume is not quite orange enough.

Then again, with the rep getting out before the gen, even serious Omega fans might be hard pressed to tell the difference!

My mom is relocating to Sanremo, so we have another location.

I am game either way

[m24601]

So anyone have theirs yet?

Great, please post pictures and feedback.

I'm liking this watch more and more, I think it would look nice on a dark gator strap w beige stitch. The lugs seem very long though, I wonder how it would look on a strap? might be better suited to a NATO.

The blue face Ti watch is REALLY the one I would prefer so if anyone from NOOB is out there.... Please.

Good you are conus so 4-5 days , we will be waiting for pics!

[phdsjain]

This piece is growing on me slowly, very versatile and dressier than the POs. Only the faux patina is a wee bit putting off. Waiting for the gen to release and some reviews to come in!

Any idea of the lug width? 20mm? 22mm?

P.S someone release a Mark II rep now!

[Pontiaddict]

I read 21mm @ ABTW Ariel did a hands on review of the Gen.

Bit the bullet and picked one up from PT before they sold out - will post pics and updates when it arrives...

[OmegaPOFL]

Sweet

Let's hope the little mistakes have been corrected. Mainly the white seconds hand and 8400 on the movement

Btw.. does anyone know the bph on this 8400 movement on the gen? is it the 25.5k?

Yeah... I'm really going to hold out for those details. I have faith in Angus though - hasn't let me down yet...

[Pontiaddict]
