kasigi Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Is this a new version? I've been following the threads on the PO but I still don't have enough knowledge to see how this one is. To me it looks pretty good, but in comparison with what I can find on the Omega web site, shouldn't the 12, 6 and 9 be in orange? Also the date window looks slightly too far to the left. It's difficult to see. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...t=0entry64641 http://www.trustytime.com/index.php?main_p...products_id=630 Thoughts? K.

Bigsy Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Gen numbers come like that too. Looks the same as Pauls new 45mm, thing stopping me is no AR, shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djtimodj Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 This annoys me! why bring out the 45mm version that were waiting for with no AR coat? upgrade one thing and miss one off? seams dumb to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebakanezzar Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 bracelet is killer for me...guess I will just keep waiting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtimodj Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 This watch will get to the point where i want to buy it due to only very minor flaws and the chrono, which i am waiting for will come out! I wish they got the generations out a bit faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avitt Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 not dumb, just good business sense on behalf of factory/dealers. It's more likely that these different versions are coming from totally different factories. That's probably why some issues are fixed, while others are introduced.

Estaban Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Same as the aspire one - lots of flaws. What are the main flaws that you see? Bracelet is now curved--Check, Logo is in the correct place--Check, Date window is correct color--Check, Engraved clasp and caseback--Check. I think it looks pretty darn good. Finally an ETA 45mm. When I get back from my trip, this will be on my shopping list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookoo Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 The crystal is the biggest thing that holds me back. I have the 45mm asian. This watch, other then the braclet doesn't look that much better to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bignasty Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'm glad to see its actually a sapphire crystal now but can't pull the trigger with out the AR coating. Its a dead giveaway. I'd also have to say that the 20mm bracelet is a dead giveaway too. Looks like they need to just drop this rep entirely and start over from scratch. Well maybe keep the dial but everything else needs to be re-worked. I'll stick with the 4th gen 42.5 for now! Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r11co Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) The Asian 45mm I have has a sapphire crystal. IMO this rep is ridiculously overpriced and a poorer choice than the equivalent Asian which, while having the same flaws, at least beats more like the gen. This is a watch for ETA obsessives only and choosing the ETA movement actually takes it one step further away from visual accuracy. PS. I have a spare crystal for mine and I am still investigating having it AR coated. I've enquired with a few opticians who say it is possible, but so far none are willing to try it in their machines in case something goes wrong Edited June 8, 2006 by r11co Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasigi Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'll hold fire then - I was tempted by this but it looks as though I might be better off with the 42.5mm version? K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallkenny Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 TTK's version looks pretty good, you may want to check his in dealer's section. not sure about this though: ......even the HE valve which everyone goes on about being incorrect....looks the same.....it's not actually offset....it's the upward angle of the case lug that makes it look slightly offset...an optical delusion.... on the original it looks pretty offset to my eyes?

Guest TTK Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Not so.....what makes it look offset is the upward sweep of the lug.....here's a gen.....with line straight from the pinion point straight thru the 10 baton.......you can see it virtually passes thru the center of the HE valve...which is offset by the upward sweep as I say......I compared the gen with the copy this afternoon........!
