gioarmani Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 Merry Christams to me. Omega Seamaster Professional. I can't wait to get my rep to see how close it is. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. I've tried to take some detailed pics, so if anyone with a good Sea Pro rep can point out the major flaws, please do so. And please feel free to add your own rep pics to see how close they are, with no fear of thread hijacking. Enjoy! Not too much glare, but no tint to the AR (if any). Double sided AR coating, I'm guessing? The only "rep-like" flaws I can find are the fact that the bezel-inserts 3 o'clock hour marker doesn't line up exactly and the datewheel appears to sit a little on the highside in the window. I swore after my Submariner, I'd never buy anther gen, but this one was hard not to fall in love with. I wonder how long I'll keep this one...
rocket754 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 that is the best rep I have seen but it still has some flaws enjoy it. I tried one on at the AD not long ago and you can't help but like it. It has the illusion of being a beefy watch even though it's not large by measurement. I like it.
NaviChief Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 Beautiful. Great pics too, I would probably go through two sets of batteries taking pictures of that baby.
mikellem Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 Great watch! Superb pics... Enjoy your new beauty...
gioarmani Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Posted December 13, 2006 Does anybody know what the weight in ozs, lbs, or grams is on the rep? This gen feels like it weighs almost a pound!
swdivad Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 Great watch Gio!!! I had the same model in titanium, at the time didn't like it cuz it was too big LOL... I'm kicking myself now! IMO this is the best chrono out there for the money. Wear it well!
Pugwash Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 I bet you can't stop staring at it and feel like the happiest lamb in toytown! Congrats.
chrono903 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 hey, thats a nice watch! I was always wondering what that would look like on a girls wrist. Thom
chrgod Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 Wow... There is nothing like a genuine! I could die for that pearl.. Looks like the warranty card says "Seanaster" Congratulations!
Usil Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 Everyone will be comparing thier reps to your pictures now. Usil
V Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 Beautiful watch Gio.. Great choice indeed!!!
gioarmani Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Posted December 13, 2006 hey, thats a nice watch! I was always wondering what that would look like on a girls wrist. Thom That's always a possibility...
SubFrog Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 Wow...great watch...with all the fixins. Enjoy. Great pictures as well.
gioarmani Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Posted December 14, 2006 Does anyone know if the AR coat is double-sided on the gen?
gioarmani Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Posted December 15, 2006 One last question, if you look at the dial print on this, it's all white. Tonight I went to a different AD, and they had A Sea Pro similar to this, but the Omega symbol was a piece of steel glued to the dial, not painted like it is here, and the word "Seamaster" was in red ink & not white. The only other major difference was the case-back had a much more prominent & larger etching, like the PO. Has anyone seen this model before, or is this the latest generation of gen?
HauteHippie Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Congrats, bud. I'm sure you'll hang on to this one longer than your sub. The POs have double sided AR, but I'm not sure about these.

chrgod Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 the one with the applied symbol and red lettering is the new version. Thom I actually prefer this "old" version. The current design changes just makes the dial busier and less pure tool watch. Changes on a watch like the Seamaster should improve function, but I assume Omega try to move upmarket and look more expensive... By the way, I added a link to this post in my Seamaster Pro Chrono Review.
