I have another "can someone help me out?" post as well as a "my first Omega" questions. I did a lot of research but I got to the point where I was just reading the same things over and over so I just pulled the trigger.
I've learned that you learn a lot more, a lot faster with a watch in hand and I got it for what would be a great price. But I have a few questions. Mainly about its size. This is listed as a 43.5. I thought it would be comperable to my RLSD, but it's smaller. 40.5. I mean that can't be right. Right?
Also, any other tid-bits of info would be great. Either general info about the watch or model (anything that catches your eye).
I put it next to the sea dweller for a true 43 mm reference. Thanks.

Here’s a V2 with that mirror bezel finish, though not the orange numbers, wondered why it wasn’t engraved myself. Even says “updated bezel wording”

Yes, the bezel doesn't have the recessed/engraved numerals and inlay. And this is not a vsf but it was the same model watch so I posted here thinking I'd just get feedback from knowledgeable omega enthusiasts.
I had read through this thread pretty extensively (as well as watched vids -https://youtu.be/-wooQt_8QNM [looks like the same bezel to me but could be lighting]) on gens and read other threads before buying.
In this thread I came across a number of watches with the silver numbers on the bezel that were not inlayed. (there was even a discussion on it early on in this thread but I see now that was the triangle where the pearl is and the silver/Grey stripe around the inner edge of the bezel.
All the bezels with orange numbers seem to be recessed though. And while I liked the grey numbers in the pics more, now that I have it, I've sort of changed my mind on that 1 aspect. The orange adds a nice pop of color.
But I did look at the bezel and while a number of models did have the engraved #s on the bezel, I thought many (particularly silver) did not.
I am noticing now that it's in hand, that the dial looks a little more matte than the gen.
Or a lot more matte.
And things like these are exactly what I meant when I mentioned learning so much more/quicker once a watch is in hand. I appreciate the feedback.
I got this watch from toro at a really good price (but now I'm beginning to understand/wonder why). Although I did post QC pics with some questions and was informed by several people that the watch looked good - which gave me some confidence in giving the "ok" (especially as my first Omega).
Also, I just Google how Omega measures their case size and found a post saying 2 to 8 o'clock. 43.5 perfect.

Is there any consensus as yet as to if this watch is NWBIG?
I'm jonesing for a GMT and this may be the one.
Now that it's been in the wild for a while, how are people finding the movement reliably?

It's been a while since I've seen any news on this thread.
I know a lot of the Omega lovers are distracted by the ceramic and Ti release ????
But is there any news of a release date for the Day/Night GMT yet?

Mine was running a bit fast. After regulation, it's now running at +2.0 / day.

has anyone sourced a rubber strap for the GMT POs?
Hi there,
the datechange on my rep PO 600 GMT happens not instantaneously. The change starts at around 22.20pm.
Can anyone tell me how the datechange works on the gen and if it works properly on my rep or is there any issue with it?
Thanks!

Hey everyone, hoping to get some input on rubber strap options from those who have bought this watch on the rubber/tried out the aftermarket rubbers. Looking to buy this beauty but ideally I’d like both the bracelet and the rubber strap. Is the rubber worth the extra $40-80 from the TDs? (Depending on which TD you buy from/if you buy it with your watch or after the purchase etc. etc.) Or should I buy one of the cheap ones on AliExpress?
I’ve seen some cheap aftermarket options on AliExpress for ~$10-20? (Linked below) Anyone know if the quality of these is the same as the ones the TDs offer? Any input is appreciated!
