How plausible is it to buy a gen omega SS bracelet for this? Or will the colour of the gen SS be off?

Mhh, seems like this also has the braclet "flaw". I guess this applies to all the CRPOs then. Kind of a downfall to me, this is an instant tell from far away imho. :(

Could you please describe more about the flaw on the bracelet? Could you please explain what you can see? Thank you so much.

Here are a couple of wrist shots of my gen 46. I have an 8” wrist.

I’ve strayed away from the PO’s for too damn long and then this happens. Time to order one.

vcappp : Go back to page 13, post #181, there you can see what everyone is so worried about.

I must say that this was the very first thing that I noticed on my old V6F CrPOs and my wife pointed it out too when she first saw it on my wrist. It really doesn't look great, but it's not a so called "tell". If your friends are Omega freaks and they know their POs in and out and have their loupes always at hand, then you might have a problem. Or if you were to flash it at the AD's. But otherwise it's a great rep and I think we're overthinking it a bit at 360$...There are always many Seiko divers out there for the money ( Samurai, Turtle, Solar Tuna...) and I think it might be better for some to go that route. Reps are not 1:1 and they will probably never be, but you have to realize that 99% of the population doesn't give two shits about watches, and another 80% of the remaining 1% are not aware of tells, so you can feel absolutely confident with such a high grade rep on your wrist. Every single one of my gen wearing friends have never ever asked me to hand them my watch, so they can look for "tells". They just don't care about such miniature details..But there is another thing called context - you might look like a fool with a Lidl plastic bag in your lap riding the bus with a Patek Nautilus on your wrist ;)

Ah well I’ve just placed an order for a 42mm silver number version! I hope it’s a match for my GF Breitling Superocean ii.

Ordered and paid for the 45.5 mm version (SS) with silver numbers from Sead. Now the qc picture wait begins, then the shipment wait, so excited! I have had 2 of these as genuine and x^2 as rep from Noob, BP, KW so I know this shit quite well :) I hoping this is the best version out there. Until now KW has been imho the best version with a very decent dial but of course with Miyota movement.

Well done :) I see this as a KW with a better movement, so this just might be what I was looking for all these years.

Have you also inquired about the 42mm?

I agree, KW with a better movement!

I am a 45.5 mm guy :) No information about the 42 mm model.

I’ve asked Ryan at Intime to put a hold on my order of this: there’s so much hear say about how accurate (or not) this movement is. I wish the LMPO Noob just had the correct WORLD PREMIERE typing, it’d be a no brainier!

What's supposed to be wrong with the movement?

He’s stated it was in at the time. I do think it’s a fine-looking movement, it’s probably going to be brilliant a couple of versions in.

OK, thanks. I'll drop him an email.

But I must confess that I'm seriously tempted by that black dial/green hands and the 007 Aqua Terra..and Spectre..and god knows what they'll release next week..gotta love these 1st world problems ;)
