Merry Christams to me. :) Omega Seamaster Professional. I can't wait to get my rep to see how close it is. I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

I've tried to take some detailed pics, so if anyone with a good Sea Pro rep can point out the major flaws, please do so. And please feel free to add your own rep pics to see how close they are, with no fear of thread hijacking.

Enjoy!

Not too much glare, but no tint to the AR (if any). Double sided AR coating, I'm guessing?

The only "rep-like" flaws I can find are the fact that the bezel-inserts 3 o'clock hour marker doesn't line up exactly and the datewheel appears to sit a little on the highside in the window.

I swore after my Submariner, I'd never buy anther gen, but this one was hard not to fall in love with. I wonder how long I'll keep this one...

It is a beautiful watch. I have always liked this model. I think it will live on as a classic.

Wear it well!! I have a SMP Gen and it is very hard to leave in the watch box.

Beautiful, congrats! I've once walked out of an AD with that red leather box (since sold), not many feelings like it!

Did they mess up the date on the warranty card?

Does anybody know what the weight in ozs, lbs, or grams is on the rep? This gen feels like it weighs almost a pound!

The rep is very heavy. Probably my heaviest watch.

I'd say it's around 230 grams. Just a rough guess.

Edit: Not that much. I weighed it with my lousy kitchen scale: 205- 210 grams.

I think you'll find they put the date in American instead of European, for some stupid reason. :D

Ah, but he said 'picked up yesterday' meaning me may have paid on the 6th and had to wait until yesterday to pick it up.

Could be. I just know I couldn't sleep at night should something happen down the road and the watch be out of warranty by 5 days.

Lookin' out for y'all! :lol:

Yeah, but it's a Gen Omega - if it fails it will fail soon and catastrophically - if it doesn't it will last a long, long time. Here's to hoping it lasts you a loooooong, looong time!
