fitmic Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 What about pictures of the watch you recieved?
casanile Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 Hi guys. This is Miguel from Spain. Just joined to the forum thanks to ... Hi my friend, Nice to read you there! My watch isn't arrived yet, I seriously need back up here... So, mirror image, as said by Angela, is the word?
MiguelCadiz Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) Hi my friend, Nice to read you there! My watch isn't arrived yet, I seriously need back up here... So, mirror image, as said by Angela, is the word? I can forward a first image of the watch. Don't pay attention to the date wheel, I've been passing days to see if the dw has the correct fonts and so it seems. To answer the lume question above, the major lume is on the hands, the dial and pearl have bare lume that last for a few minutes after putting it a minute or so under a halogen lamp. Regarding the AR coating I'll say there's no AR at all inside or outside the crystal as there're glares from every angle. I believe the gen 2254.50 doesn't carry it as well. I haven't opened the watch yet, but the date changes exactly at 12:00 am, the fonts are ETA correct so I'd say that there's ETA inside the watch. I'd say that's mirror image comparing it to the photos at ioffer!!! Edited December 27, 2007 by MiguelCadiz
Pugwash Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 I'd say that's mirror image comparing it to the photos at ioffer!!! Can you show us a photo front-on to see the position of the He valve?

b16a2 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Don't let something as minor as the AR or the lume to put you off buying this. I can say for sure, it has been a long time since I have seen a basic SMP worthy of buying. The He valve looks good, dial is good, the main factors are spot on. If the AR is a problm, get it coated. The main factors of the watch (ie the ones you cant change so easily) are all spot on. Anyway the AR coating on this watch (the gen) doesn't give off the blue hue like the PO. It is an invisible coating to reduce glare by a small amount.
piratedzeus Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 The gen has inside AR. What a pity. Only the newer ones

It is an invisible coating to reduce glare by a small amount. I was cheking the gen some weeks before. and it is true that the AR is quite weak. That is the reason for saying that it is a pity, as the manufacturer could have done it very easily.
Sweattdogg Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 That looks great. No worries about the AR, that can always be done later. Any other pics?
Francisco Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) Whilst we are waiting for some pictures of this rep, just some very nice pictures of the gen: the black and the electric blue. Both avalaible from this seller. http://www.bernardwatch.com/Omega/Seamaster-Pro/OMG225580 http://www.bernardwatch.com/Omega/Seamaste...-size/OMG225250 Edited December 27, 2007 by Francisco
casanile Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks for this first pic very expected, as you can see... Angela told us the truth: Insert is aligned, the pearl looks almost flat and the hev is right. I feel better. This must be the best "out of the box" black SMP. Does that means that the myth of the-old-factory-closed was real and back in business?
Jimster Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 I ordered one last week and will post when I get it. Angela is quoting two weeks which is normal for me from China. Jim
MiguelCadiz Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Good evening gentlemen. Here they are. The photos you've been waiting for, sorry if the quality's not good but I've had to resize them in order to upload correctly.
steppen Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 looks good, nice pearl, best i've seen on an omega rep
triplehd Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 I bought it, I bought it Made an offer as well. Hope I get this watch as the one in the pics - definitely looking like the closed version from years past. Had 2 of them, which I sold a couple years back - now I can finally get one back
Francisco Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Made an offer as well. Hope I get this watch as the one in the pics - definitely looking like the closed version from years past. Had 2 of them, which I sold a couple years back - now I can finally get one back I have a bracelet with pins from another Omega so I will exchange it. I will relume it and possible single AR. It will be a ultimate SMP....... hopefully.
triplehd Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 I'd probably get the gen hands and have Vac or The Zigmeister relume the dial and maybe get the crystal single A/R. Ha, already making mods for the watch even before I buy it

casanile Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 (edited) So gentlemen, That was a really good find wasn't it? Edited December 28, 2007 by antomarty
triplehd Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Defintely. I had sent many questions to the seller several months ago, but then her listing would get deleted where she would then have to relist it. I was a bit skeptic to go about buying it. So, I guess since you were the first one to buy and verify the quality, many of us will follow suit.
bong Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 So gentlemen, That was a really good find wasn't it? Indeed, could you please give a link to the seller at ioffer? Thx
