I am looking for the best 007 Seamaster Rep.

Sorry I think there are none at the moment now that are truly superb. I have the most recent one and I didn't realise before buying but the CG is the wrong shape and the pearl is a little too big compared to Gen. you could ask on the buy/sell threads if anyone wants to let go their older version with a mor accurate CG and He Valve placement is in the right place.
Alternatively the Chrono version of this watch is almost spot on and they are not much more costly I think.

Just ordered the chrono version myself because of the flaws of the 007 model.
Another issue is that the hands are too short. On the gen the minute hand is about a millimeter away from the minute markers and the hour hand tracks over the Omega symbol. The second hand just touches the minute markers. On the rep the second hand is too long, and the minute hand is too short, the minute hand barely hits the lume markers. If the hands on the gen fit the rep movement then one could address that issue easily. As you can see the crown gaurd needs work, but the pearl looks like it could be modded easily.

Nice!
Hey DarthAlex, that first pic of the "real" watch, is that a rep or gen? The bezel insert looks like it lines up very nice?
If its a rep, where did you source your out? I'm in the market...thx!
Now that I look at it again, i'm thinking its a QUARTZ GEN.
