007omega Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) So, I am in LOVE with the new 007 seamaster limited edition for quantum of solace and came across helloreplica.com's version.. it looks SOOO accurate. Aside from the feet, I can't even spot that many differences... Is anyone else rather impressed? Here's the link for the watch: http://www.helloreplica.com/omega-seamaste...tch--20042.html Here's the authentic Super high quality Even if i did buy the original, I would almost be tempted to buy this as a beater to wear most of the time.

DirtyVader Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 pearl is crap and 007 logo on the second hand didn't get much attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalnrg Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Very nice. Is this a trusted collector to buy from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 not really a good one. Wrong backcase, poor pearl and the seconds hand is really not well made. Maybe a good starting point - in some sense - but i'll keep waiting if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Not that good to be honest, still got the He valve in the wrong position plus the bits mentioned above but at least the GC are big enough, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 It's not the greatest in my books. Here's why: Happy feet on logoOMEGA logo looks too "big" yet skinnyThe second hand really does suckMinute hand is too shortEnd link shiny portions are raised too much...looks lumpyBezel insert printing is too fatPearl is too large (this will likely affect the newer "high end" rep as well)The site is likely an overpriced scam site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clellandm Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 This watch would be from Casino Royale, where he wore a black SMP in the dress scenes. In Quantum of Solace he wore a PO 42mm in all the scenes. The QOS special edition is a 45mm PO with a dial that is supposed to look like the checkered grip of a Walther PPK. There is a rep out of it at a trusted dealer on another forum called WackoBirdKeeper. Pretty neat looking, not sure if that 3D dial would get old in a hurry or provide years of interest.

The price would be about right as well... [Edit to add] From the server glitch I'm experiencing, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it's one of Tony's sites This watch would be from Casino Royale, where he wore a black SMP in the dress scenes.

I think you'll find that he wore a blue co-axial SMP in the dress scenes. The 2220.80, to be precise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenerhimself Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I saw HelloReplica on YouTube doing up close video reviews. Can anyone comment on their reliability? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I saw HelloReplica on YouTube doing up close video reviews. Can anyone comment on their reliability? Thanks! If HelloReplics is one of Tony's sites, then yes, he is reliable, and a dealer on RWI under the sitename WatchEden. I do not know for sure if HelloReplica is one of Tony's sites, but, the layout, pricing, watermarks etc, all make me believe that it probably is. Tony is the dealer who I have bought the majority of my watches from, and I would recommend him to anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imranbecks Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 This watch would be from Casino Royale, where he wore a black SMP in the dress scenes. No.. The black SMP wasn't released until only recently this year.. It was the blue co-axial SMP that was worn in Casino Royale.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlilley01 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 No.. The black SMP wasn't released until only recently this year.. It was the blue co-axial SMP that was worn in Casino Royale.. I have the same question as the original poster regarding the black SMP chrono... looks good to me, but can anyone point out the flaws please? See if theres any I havnt seen already.. Here it is on TT's site: http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...83c4326166452a3 Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 No.. The black SMP wasn't released until only recently this year.. It was the blue co-axial SMP that was worn in Casino Royale.. And a planet ocean in some scenes...that has a black face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxus Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I was out shopping over the weekend and walked into an Omega AD (after carefully sliding my skyland into my gf's purse ) and I asked to see the new 007 Seamaster from the OP's pics and well, it is a thing of beauty. Some might argue that without the signature wave pattern dial it means nothing, but the glossy black dial so crisp and clean and the RED seamaster make the watch look soo very elegant. Not to mention once I put it on i felt like Mr. Daniel Craig in the flesh.... until the significant other rolled her eyes at me, must have been the drool making it's way down my chin that or the realization I have a serious addiction problem. Either way the very delightful salesperson shot some number at me can't recall excatly as I was tearing the watch off my wrist, sounded like $3kish I could be wrong. Please correct me.

digitalnrg Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I bought a cheap version of this watch from a fellow member recently and already I receive many compliments. Hopefully the factory will make a super rep for this watch soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I just did a review that covers the PO models he wore in both movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I bought a cheap version of this watch from a fellow member recently and already I receive many compliments. Hopefully the factory will make a super rep for this watch soon. That was me. It couldn't replace my UPO, but the dial is much "blacker" and the red really pops--it's a striking watch in person.
