this is one right before i got really ill i was working on to make close as perfect to the genuine, i actually went to a reeds jewelry shop that had everyone of these in stock and did a comparison, i can now say this baby is at least 98% close to genuine , the sales rep of omega happen to be in the store and i acted like i was thinking about buying the bigger one , so i took mine off to try it on and i also wanted to see the new ones , and talk about nervous he all of a sudden grabbed it and starting polishing it for me and telling me how he was thinking of getting a orange one like mine , i was about to have a panic attack right then and there and he simply handed it back to me and said dont u think those hour markers glow better on these than the old seamaster, and then and there that told me it passed cause he did check out the glow on mine, luckily i relumed it or he would have said something cause he was checking it out pretty hard, however i never saw him look at the back of the watch , i guess the front passed good enough lol

anyway here she is swimming in the ocean and smiling at me , this one came from trustywatchguy and what i did was take the markers off the old chinese dial which had the better font and put the markers from the bad new dial and switched them , then i raised the logo just a hair to be in better position and i relumed it and i tightened my bezel to feel really smooth and snug and reglued my insert down because they come with on tape holding them down , i also polished out and rebrushed the case/bracelet to be more like the genuine, also i polished out the bezel prongs to smoothe them out, i waterproofed it and this is what i came up with , enjoy!!!

Carolina beach?

The color of the water and sand remind of the beaches from back home, Charleston...

After seeing your nice polished oranged watch, RJB

I'm realising that I'm hooked on the combination orange and polished....I'm stealthy looking at the po chrono or the po 45 mm....

that makes three in my collection. This is the other orange :

yeah i love the orange , it is truly a piece that stands out but not too much, i am still hunting for a worth 45 mm but i m really satisfied with my 42.5mm it is plenty big enough and probably get more wrist time than the goliath one lol thank u for your comments

also the guy asked what i did , read my post and it tells u ok,

Get a real a/r coating on that thing and even the die hard omega enthusiest will have second thoughts calling that out.

It looks to me that the 3rd gen dial is not beveled at the date window... that is a dead giveaway to me...

Yep, but I don't care. Only someone with a master degree in omega's would make the recognition.

Normal people say: what a nice watch....oh it's an omega. That's a very nice watch........
