Has anyone ever seen this model replicated ? I like the shape of the hands over the hollow looking hands on many SeaMaster 300m's and the lack of color put to the bezel.

I think so, too. But what is it about the happy feet ? I seen replicas lately stating the no happy feet dial logo yet many of the older genuine Omega's I've seen lately all seem to have the happy feet. Is the no happy feet replicas all about being as close to accurate with the new models as possible ? I would think that someone would really have to know Omega to spot that on a watch of certain time era's.
Unfortunately most of us on here do know Omegas from different eras and in combination with time, cash and varying degrees of obsessive compulsive disorder, the happy feet obsession was born.
I'm confused too; I've seen GEN Omegas with "Happy Feet." I'm basically fine with them - I just try to make sure that my newer model REPs don't have them.
I will try and end your confusion. The planet oceans in gen form should not have happy feet.
Seamaster's (not all of them but most of them) come with happy feet in gen form. Examples are the 2531, 2254 and the Electric Blue Seamasters.
After much searching I've found this rep, though it isn't a Ti. It looks like the blue version has this bezel but the black one doesn't. I hoping the dealer can source the blue version bezel only for the black version he has in stock. If so, it should look pretty close to this genuine model, though the bezel numbers aren't quite as bold and thick as the real deal and the pearl would need some attention.
I have never seen a Ti SMP rep or one with that bezel insert. It does look pretty sweet!
You're right - no Titanium rep Seamaster is available.
The one in your pic appears to have the darker face and probably the closest you'll find is known as the Electric Blue.
Fabulous piece of watch design - amongst the finest from Omega.
The boldness of the numbers on the bezel is the main difference from the gen.

You can find the gen reasonably easily from around $1000 upwards.
They come in quartz and auto.
Or perhaps find an ebay ad with bad photos and pick it up for even less.

Painted dial logo on gen Omega = Happy feet!
Applied logo on gen Omega = No Happy feet!
the meltdowns occur when the factories go for happy feet across the board, wait...just wait for the new Omegas reps for the Basel releases from Omega this year, We'll have a 1st edition of everything with happy feet on all the applied logos.....I can see the riots on the streets now

The genuine with automatic mvt. in good preowned condition seems to be consistantly priced and selling at about 1300-1500 bucks. The one pictured above is a genuine model Chronometer. I personally prefer automatics over quartz. I have a couple questions.
1- the datewheel is white on black in the black dial model and black on white in the blue dial model ?
2- I've found a replica of the black dial model but it has the Black bezel with painted on bezel numbers. Will the metal bezel with engraved and blackened numbers, like yours on the Electric Blue model fit the Black dial model ? If so, I may be on my way to trying one out for about 275.00 instead of 1300.00 plus.
Really ? Do you think this model replica is capable of using some genuine parts ? If so then that is certainly worth considering I guess. At the moment I'm waiting for the 42mm Planet Ocean to arrive so I can see whether or not it looks and feels good enough to have some genuine parts put on it. Though I sure do like the looks of that Black Omega SM Professional with the finished metal bezel.

I like it too. Do you think it is capable of using some genuine parts ? I may just have a go at this one and see how it looks and feels. I've got a 42mm PO Ultimate arriving soon and I'm staring to wish I'd have seen this model first. I really like the shape of the hands and with a super lume job done on the dial and hands I'm thinking this piece would look nuclear with such loom.
