mlfloyd Posted June 12, 2019 Report Posted June 12, 2019 I decided not to shell out $3200 for a gen pre-2018 model with the date at 3:00. In your experience, which Factory produces the best Omega Professional Seamaster 300 replica (OM, VS, etc.). I’m looking at the model with the black dial and black ceramic bezel.

Guest keeper Posted July 8, 2019 Report Posted July 8, 2019 There are no factories. I hope this helps............everyone.
kernow Posted July 8, 2019 Report Posted July 8, 2019 Look at the trusted dealers websites and then ask specific questions. The ‘best’ for one is not the ‘best’ for another person.

I am looking to buy a Planet Ocean Chrono ( prefer rubber strap ) can you give any advice as to the best movement I should be looking for?? thanks...
kernow Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 There are several versions of the PO Chrono. I’d choose one with an A7750 movement.
Stomper Posted July 13, 2019 Report Posted July 13, 2019 I agree with Kernow but once you have the watch start looking for a Gen ETA Movement to install, costs a bit more than servicing the asian movement but if you plan on using the chronograph function its the way to go
mlfloyd Posted July 16, 2019 Author Report Posted July 16, 2019 The QA/QC isn’t that good with all of the so called “factories” popping up. I received a SMP Diver 300, 2018 version, and I’m experiencing 2 problems already after 2 weeks of having it.1. The slots in some of the bracelet screws are too shallow for the screw driver to properly seat. I have to order a set of extractors to get them out.2. Really important. After pulling the crown out to sync the time, the quick set date wheel turns when pushing the crown in to lock it down in the case. I mentioned both issues to the TD and haven’t received a response yet after 2 days which is unusual for this TD; he usually responds quickly.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
kernow Posted July 19, 2019 Report Posted July 19, 2019 As with all reps (especially ones that are keepers) factor in a service. This should sort out the problem.
mlfloyd Posted July 19, 2019 Author Report Posted July 19, 2019 Good point, Kernow. That’s what I’ll do. Thanks for the reply.
mlfloyd Posted June 19, 2021 Author Report Posted June 19, 2021 Gave it to my cousin and bought a preowned gen SMP300. I have peace of mind now.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
