gen vs rep 42.5 mm Omega PO
- Thread starter crick
- Start date
ps: i still love the rep PO! AMAZING watch. Did you know that mine has a garish scratch on the HE valve? fully screwed in, the scratch faces bottom down. Lucky me 
pps: notice the casing sticks out more on the crown side of the rep. Rep crown also smaller. Can't really tell unless you have it next to a gen!

Just concentrate on second hand orange tip. The genuine is "brighter" and glowing orange with shorter coloured part. As for the crown, the rep crown is totally different from the genuine.
Congrats crick! You've got yourself an excellent timepiece.

thaaaaaaaaaank you mr. Tak
I've got the watch sized to be very comfortable but at the same time leave the seamonster imprint after long hours Yeah i noticed the rep's seconds hand being orange. It feels like they took the orange needle from the orange PO and slapped it into the black
wow there are more differences than i thought.
besides the omega symbol
the second hand
date font and size
lume color
bezel pearl
maybe its just the light?
nice pix though

The dial markers on the gen appear slightly bigger. Not sure if the entire marker is bigger, or if there is just more lume in the gen.

Good on ya crick! Yeah, I noticed the orange tip diff right away ... font also better defined on the gen,
good comparo.
Enjoy it mate!
Tak's got a gen dial and gen hands swapped in there.
you guys are right: the lume looks bigger only because it's filled with more lume.
Beautiful picture tak!
the white font only looks bolder because of the picture though... in person its much less overblown.

WRONG!
oh wait... that meant i sold the wrong watch? :shock: lol :lol:
Wow thats impressive. Not familiar with the 42mm PO I was at first unable to tell the gen from the rep. Bezel pearl gave it away though.....
