Getting a Omega, can't decide.

[shehroz]

Alright, getting something without chronos so here's my my third attempt. Graduations coming up so need a new watch and here are the choices:

1. http://www.watcheden.com/omega-seamaste ... 1-p-1.html

2. http://www.watcheden.com/omega-seamaste ... 8-p-1.html

3. http://www.watcheden.com/omega-seamaste ... 4-p-1.html

4. http://www.watcheden.com/omega-seamaste ... 9-p-1.html

Which one looks like the best rep? I will wear this everyday so which one will fit those needs? Thanks for reading and all replies are appreciated.

Hmmm. Well number three 'aka' the Biohazzard model is not a good rep. Omega discontinued the gen last year. Same goes for the GMT. Number four is fantasy. Does not exist in gen form. That leaves number one. It is also a fantasy in the respect that it does not have the 007 hand. With that said I reviewed this model and afterwards swapped the second hand out for a regular one because I like it better. I also installed a new movement then moved the internals into one of my case sets because the one it comes with is wrong. It has been my daily wearer since then.

One other point I should mention. The reason I installed the new movement is because the one it came with died. Actually both of the review watches did. So the one I sold off was upgraded too. Just food for thought.

The first one isn't a fantasy watch. Omega sells the Black SMP in standard form. The one with the '007' seconds hand is just a limited edition vesion of it.

I would say of the four watches, the first one is the best one to go for.

Yeah, my vote is on the secret number five. The Fakemaster SMP, you wont regret it.

 

[pcsam]

go for a fakey smp ..better value and your getting a watch made for you it will be better built than any of the ones in your list .

Go with Fakey and you can't go wrong.

I have one and it is amazing. It may be a litle bit more but it is completly worth it.

 

[Positive]

I couldn't agree more, definitely go with Fakemaster.

Dittos! I LOVE my Fakey SMP!!

Wow that 007 replica looks lousy, they should source a different one for their site. That's the worst I've seen in years.

I guess one of the first 3, none are really anything I'd buy though.

 

[fakemaster]

I did not notice that one had the wave dial. I thought it was the smooth one. It is not a fantasy model. But it is using the same case set as the SE rep.

as far as looks go i would say the first one...about quality...top quality asia my a*s.think of giving some more money and you will not regret it,the secret number 5 sounds just graduation material

I don't think he builds the GMT (although check directly with him).

Ruby was selling a nice ETA (clone?) Omega GMT viewtopic.php?f=37&t=25761 . Also, Mark (Timesshop) has / had the 21j entry GMT.
