aliates88 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Hi I have a simple question. I want to have this watch: h**p://www.omegawatches.com/index.php?id=286&details=1&ref=21230412001001&no_cache=1 But there is no replica available yet. When do you appreciate will this watch be replicated, and would you advise to buy the first replica or is it better to wait for the second or third generation? I know that you can't answer my questions 100%, but please try to help me, because if the time is too long for me, I would buy another beautiful watch. Thank you Alex Edited July 30, 2008 by aliates88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestripes Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hope they release a new blue Bond SMP with and fix those damn crown guards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyVader Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hope they release a new blue Bond SMP with and fix those damn crown guards. It's a hard one to call. Cos they could just replace the dial and bezel and be done with it. And the crown guards are the least of my worries. The biggest tell is always the bloody HE valve.

whitestripes Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I guess it is arguable about the He valve or crown guards being the biggest tell, but let me make this point. The He valve, while slightly off, LOOKS correct. The crown guards are in the correct location, but look horrible next to the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliates88 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Oh come on, no one answered me yet. Don't you have an advise for me, should I wait or should I buy another watch? Please help me, what would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Oh come on, no one answered me yet. Don't you have an advise for me Because we don't know when it gets replicated. We're not in direct contact with the rep factories in China, except very occasionally. I believe it might surface in a few months. Or then not... there's never any guarantee with the factories.

tanya Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Think there may be a couple of sh*tty asian movement versions of it floating around I tried on the gen about 3 weeks ago when I purchased my Gen SMP Chrono. It's very nice but I still prefer the blue for the SMP. Black dial Omega Seamaster to me needs to be a PO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Oh come on, no one answered me yet. Don't you have an advise for me, should I wait or should I buy another watch? Please help me, what would you do? Aliates.. you could use this as a gauge.. If it is a new relaease and the makers are using a genuine as sample... which is becoming the standard instead of the exception .. it will take at least 9 months or more for them to accomplish this after the genuine sample is handed over to them.. If it is made from pics then .... do you really want this replica ? Even if it a good looking timepiece what the factories or "makers" are looking at is if will be a good "wholesale product that could be distributed World Wide ... if it does not sell well on the Froums etc.. they pass on it... for the makers we are a good gauge as to how the product will be recieved world wide.. so as Bytor states.. there are no garauntees ... but there are dozens of choices to make.. so check out the weekly wrist shots and as far as Omega .. you have many good replications to choose from... Definatey check out Bytors guide to the Best Omega Reps. Your choices are endless..... Why Wait ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliates88 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) OK thanks. Your answers are a good advise for me and I decided to buy the classic ETA Bond SMP: 2220.80. Now I have to inform me a little bit, because the customs of Germany are very strict and at the moment I don't know where to buy a good rep of this watch.

You are in Europe so you can buy at Precious Time (base in UK) or Eurotimez (base in Poland). Wherever, Silix and King have a good one to.
