Apologies. Not a rep :) Was just replying to a post regarding the colours of the gen and how it shows off the brown/tropical colours even if the picture is not edited.
Lucky lucky guy!! You own the Gen?? Very nice choice. have you also gotten a rep?

Not a single bit of editing :p Photo taken underneath direct artificial lighting...that isn't totally white though, so you could probably call that a filter.

Lovely pick up, are you purchasing the rep at all?

I stand corrected I’ve just noticed the written tag. My bad.

Exactly.. Hahaha... That written tag with date and name shows he owns it.

Here's the gen when I was trying it out back in February. I would gladly get it if it was priced better. All my current Omega's are gens. But this new one is ridiculously expensive for what it is.

Warm vs cold lighting :

It shows that the rep has brown undertones like gen.

Note, pretty much all gen videos/pics are heavily edited to bring out the warm brown hues. So hard to compare rep vs gen based on internet pictures alone and from memory of what a gen looked liked based on AD visit weeks ago.

This ambiguity in what gen should look like on the wrist (at any given angle and lighting) is good news for rep wearers ????.

Respectfully, this is not an accurate representation of how the watch changes under warm lights. Photo filters work by applying a global transformation of a given color intensity to all pixels on the image. Reddening/warming the image doesn't reflect a fundamental difference in light reflection/absorption of the dial patina, it just shifts all pixels towards a warmer hue. It would be like saying this Grand Seiko (ice blue dial) has brownish/orange hues under warm light.

At any rate, based on photos so far I remain unconvinced that they changed the dial; it still looks fairly dark with hints of brown in brighter light, but that's exactly the same reaction I get with the V1 and it essentially looks the same to me. I may end up caving in the future and buying a V2, so time will tell :) . If I do ever have both, I would be happy to take some photos of them side to side.

That dial looks grey if anything and the insert does have a little brownish hue, I think the reps pretty damn good (from pictures)

this v1 looks fantastic on that staib strap, love it!
apart from the bracelet, this watch is quite the nice rep ootb, even in ss

Exactly. I remembered not so long ago there were a ridiculous few here who hated it so much and said it was the worst rep ever or blah blah blah. Just go back a few pages when the V1 was first available and you'll see it. It was ridiculous when all i saw was a decent looking rep. Fantasy nonetheless as its steel but only the wearer would know that. Overall it looked pretty good. The V2 arrived shortly after and of course made some slight improvements in detail over the V1 other than using a titanium case. Makes me wonder how long away we are to a V3 or V4.

As I mentioned a few times before, please take into consideration the bright yellow and white lighting of the boutique. It was really bright and shining down on the watch.

Check out my short video of a wrist roll with the watch....

Okay you have the gen, (amazing by the way, super jealous) please tell us, or me for that matter because I seem to be the only one who questions it. In person, under multiple light sources, do the stripes in the NATO have a green hue to it where the Rep clearly appears to be grey only?

Hi to you all, i am examining this omega and maybe i will get one after the covid-19 lockdown. This watch at first did not strike me, but after seeing some ON WRIST shoots I literally felt in love with it. Anyway what i want to say is that after watching many vids and pics it looks like VSF totally nailed it on the V2, even that brownish color is present , light exposure makes the difference on the pics thats it. Only hoping that VSF will fix the mesh bracelet and make it titanium. But definitely a masterpiece this one. Only one question for the omega james bond fans out there, which one would you pick between this one and the omega james bond 50th anniversary ? Both of them are amazing and looks like i cant make my mind

Isn't the 50th with the gun barrel dial? I personally think it's kind of lame. The NTTD version is what bond actually wears in the film which makes it that much cooler in my opinion. Plus it's an absolute gorgeous timepiece. I don't think the gun barreled omega is appealing to me at all other than from a Bond memorabilia standpoint.

For me i prefer having the watches that Bond wears in the movies. So I'll take the NTTD watch over that 50th OHMSS watch any day of the week. But that's probably just me ;)

Same thing can be said in regards to the dial with 007 splashed all over it. Would sit on a shelf for me.

this is not even close. the 50th anniversary edition is a fan edition, even if fairly well executed and quite subtle this time around. the SMP nttd on the other hand is the one that is actually worn by bond. of course there are numerical hints, but in the end, this is something a spy could potentially wear and doesn’t give him away by looking at his wrist ..

from a rep quality perspective:
- the SMP 50th is not bad, but doesn't have the sunburst dial the gen has. the gold tones look different than on the real one. if you haven't seen the gen, it's good enough, for everyone else, it's a dull copy
- the SMP nttd looks to be closer, but lacks the proper bracelet

The figures at bezel are very thin. They screwed it up.

Thanks for that. I was just saying (illustratively) that people edit gen pics and apply heavy filters.

So, hard to compare edited gen pics of with pictures of reps.

V1 and V2. Definitely a different bezel on the V2. A bit more texture to it and as mentioned before, thinner numerals. Love the darker colour of the titanium as well.

The minute hashes on V2 are also shorter, which puts a little more distance between the hashes and the hour markers. The V1 looks more like a "maxi dial". The seconds hand on V1 is way too long; with the reflection can't tell if it's better on V2.
