So this is the rep we see? Looks better than in the pics.
Yes, is it. The same bezel and movement which are the biggest tells.
I like the DW but you are right that a date font is slightly off.
In 2018 model Omega has simplified SMPc, the case no longer have so many bevels, insert is filled with a white enamel not with the metal.
An accurate rep of 2018 is easier then the correct rep of 2012, I am not surprised rep came out even before the gen.
Do not quite understand that nato. One of the biggest fuss about 2018 is a new updated bracelet. Do not quite see the value of a rep without this bracelet.
Anyway, the watch looks good and if they put a clone inside, improve the insert and date font - it will be hard to tell gen/rep.
And they did the cards with the correct reference number, and matching movement-case-card number - I really hate such practice.
