Now that Omega has officially discontinued the black SMP, will our dealers stop carrying them? Or will they be in stock indefinitely. (it seems reasonable... they do carry vintage "bond" rolexes, after all)

Tak...

This electric blue Omega is my all time #1 favourite watch of all time.

I have bought and sold all my gens and perhaps it is because none of them was this blue beauty.

Well, it's not this model... So far Omega has not released any new diver's model based on Ti case/bracelet.

@hendrix: what puts me off of purchasing SMP non chrono replica is the He valve placement. Well... the closed factory version which reviewed here (stickied) is an awesome replica I must say.

hendrixelixir,

The search for this watch drove me to buy a gen. After reading by-tors's great reviews the big things that I was looking for were correct logo placement and handlength. I contacted several dealers on this board asking about their offerings, some were evasive, another just stopped responding and then another told me to buy a gen when all I had asked about was the handlength. The SMP black with correct hands can be hard to find.

So I bought a gen (actually a GMT) off of ebay that I'm exteremely happy with. Interesting side note: It has the brightest lume of any watch that I've ever seen.

Please go to something called Ioffer.com - there is a lady who is selling what appears to be closed factory black and electric blue SMP's. I actually own the gen electric blue - like many I was not fortunate enough to know about these forums a few years ago but I absolutely love the watch. Anyway I ordered the black version and I will let you know if they are good. I got the info off one of the other forums. Good luck.

Hope it's of use. I want this watch too, however, the chaps on RWG are finding the seller to be a little erratic. I'll wait until they've all got theirs before dipping my toe in the water.

hmm just wondering wern't Gen SMP of this model available slightly used a few years ago for like $1,000 ?

Now there like twice that.

I allways loved this watch too.

Reminds me of my Omega Dynamic I bought for like $400 5 years ago and sold for the same a year later, now there like $1000 too.

I got mine today.
Watch is exactly the one in pics and apart for some scratches in the bezel is really very good.

sorry rei, i'm sure Angela will solve the problem.

By the way, i got the right watch but with scratched bezel. I asked for a new spare bezel, i don't wanna send it back.

Rei,
Sorry to twist the knife but the hands on your watch have shrunk from those shown on the trader's photo. It just isn't the same watch. What a drag - I hope this gets resolved to your satisfaction.
