I know JHF makes a good 38mm AT but they are currently not pushing them out according to Li at Jtime because I tried getting oneDo any factories make a good Aqua Terra 38mm rep?

This I mean(At the danger of getting flamed)
I have found that VSF/ZF/ORF are generally the accepted reps for the Seamaster 300. These have a 6 o'clock date
But I was looking for the model like in the picture with a 3 o'clock date.
On digging around, I found that OMF and MKSF still produce this model.
Needed some help from the experts to figure out which out of MKSF or OMF should I be giving the money to?
I believe all would use a 2824 movement, so functionally it should be ok, but I guess what I was looking for which out of the above factories was better visually and if either have real big deal breakers.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I also have my mind on this model, and what makes me undecisive is that the description on Trusty said it's 42 instead of 41mm. I have been digging around for information on this model and learned it's only 41mm. I have skinny wrists, and 42 is a bit huge. I have owned a Gen Seamaster with 42mm before, I love it, but that is the Gen, and I need to learn about the rep and its quality.Just picked up this Seamaster 300m 2017 SS/SS Blue from the OMF factory. There wasn't much information on this watch on the forum, so I took a chance anyway.
At $268 from TT, it seems like a solid rep. Decent bezel action, crown & stem work as expected, and movement is about +6 sec per day. I've never held a gen or seen one in the wild, so I can't comment. For me, a good acquisition of a decent piece of hardware.
The website does say it's 42. I believe the gen is actually 41.5 mm, so the online listing may just be due to rounding.Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Currently hunting for a rep of this one too. Did you find one?(At the danger of getting flamed)

The only one I've found so far is the 300m on dhgateI don't think any of the Summer editions have been repped...I had high hopes for the Ploprof myself.
Like this ?Have u find it? I would love to find the green one looks amazing
do you mind measuring the Lug2Lug on the OMF?The website does say it's 42. I believe the gen is actually 41.5 mm, so the online listing may just be due to rounding.
My complete story is this: I bought the OMF V2 and I bought the BPF model as well. Price is about the same. My plan was to decide which one I preferred and keep it. After having both in hand, the OMF had the slightest edge in terms of fit and finish. Both had minor flaws, but I just liked the look and feel of the OMF a hair more.
Holding both in hand and looking at them for a looong time, I concluded that the OMF was maybe 1 mm larger. It's tough to see, and you'll never notice on the website, but the difference is there. If you are concerned about the case diameter, I would go with the BPF as it's smaller and even the website lists it as 41.
Good luck.
Hi,
Could someone tell me if there is a rep of this Omega?

Looks like jtime has one: https://jtime.io/us/seamaster-ultra...on-summer-blue-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a8912.htmlI don't think any of the Summer editions have been repped...I had high hopes for the Ploprof myself.
