M5Man Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Im really torn on this one, but im going to buy a gen P/O or a Gen 2225.80 Seamaster chrono. Which one do you guys think is the better watch for long term collectability? I really love the Seamaster - it feels so heavy and nice on the wrist but I don't know if it's the more collectible of the two long term. Any input from the board would be greatly appreciated!

takashi Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Seamaster Chrono = you are better off with the rep. As for Omega PO Chrono.. Yes, go for this model. It has coaxial movement and to date, the movement has not been repped yet. Subdial spacing posses a challange to the repmakers too (I should say that it's close to impossible that this movement will be duplicated properly).

andreww Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Agree with Tak, SMP chrono rep is almost perfect out of the box. PO Chrono is a much more beautiful watch IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I would definitely go with the POC...it is a great watch and you can always change that bezel to orange or black...it is a solid piece. I would love to have one as I think they are gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professor_yaffle1 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yep, I'd definitely go for the PO chrono - better looking (imho), and a better movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I would also go with the POC genuine, and buy the SMP Chrono replica, makes mre sense that way aroud. The POC is a magnificent looking watch, especially in black with white numbers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiparks Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) I have a gen Seamaster in Ti and a rep PO chrono. I wear the rep more as it's just a visually more impressive watch (even if it is hilariously inaccurate). Bernardwatch.com has a couple of gently used ones on his site for about 3,500 w/ box/papers /warranty.

Defender110 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I own the gen PO Chrono. get this as a GEN! for all the the resaons listed above. spend about $4200 on bracelet and if you want the straps go with the rep straps/and buckles... very good quality.. but to get the gen bracelet afterward will be a big hit... ~800+ cheers!

takashi Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 The bracelet is not that expensive ca. 500 dollar new, shipped in original packing. But agree, get the bracelet version as a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakob Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I agree... PO on bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
