I personally have mixed feelings about the new one. It seems as though everyone has likes and dislikes and they are never going to make everyone happy. Some of the new I like, and some of the old I prefer.....

How long before we see the new one repped?

As long as if they can get their hands on one and replicate it OR if its feasible then we will be able to see one.

Anyone want to make/take bets on how long it takes? One of us gets to choose the amount of time & theother one gets to choose over or under. I will take either side of this..... small bets only (this is really just for fun....)

for example you decide you want to decide on the time so I get to choose over or under. You think 4 months from now is reasonable & I take the under. So I win if it takes less than 4 months and you win if it takes more

Hmm looking at the diving scale i think it might be liquidmetal. The numbers sit flushed and even, with a grey sheen
The regular SMP 300 has a ceramic bezel but its diving scale is PVD in and the numbers do not sit flushed/even

Actually the SMP 300 for a long time had an Aluminum (I think, it wasn't always ceramic) bezel or insert

Omega introduced:
- Seamaster 300 in 1947
- Seamaster Professional in 1994
- Seamaster Professional Ceramic (SMPC) in 2012

I'm not an omega expert so I would have to look up more details, but I believe that over time various materials have been used in the bezel inserts such as acrylic, Bakelite, Stainless steel, Aluminum and now Ceramic.

It will get repped, and I would probably guess in under 6 months, though 1st version or two might need many improvements to be close to gen.

These are just my guesses though, but I can basically guarantee it will get repped (chance of it not getting repped is probably as low as the chance of winning the lottery)
