Looks good, the Omega logo actually looks like it is the right shape. How is the quality, does it feel solid?
Looking at a lot of repl deployments the logo is not great but this gives me some encouragement.

"How is the quality, does it feel solid?"
For >$20 I'm impressed. The straps are solid & pliable w/o any stitching defects. However, there's no branding on the underside of the straps. The clasp looks pretty good imo. The logo is part of the clasp mold & not applied like the OEM. So it's not as crisp as an OEM but it doesn't carry the concern of ever falling off.
I think the PO style rubber straps detract from the AT. So I'll be using the clasp on something leather. I like the integrated look of the "Thick Curved Lug System" leather straps by D9.

Which dealer did you buy the set from? I haven't found one with that specific box.

Curious.... Why would you guys want the box for your rep? My gen came with that exact box. I took out the watch, then I stored the box in the closet and haven't seen it since...lol... It's the watch that matters. Now for the gen, it's good to have the box for resale purposes.
Please don't try to sell away the rep with the box and say it's a gen... That's a big no no.

it is just curious and not for resale as gen, of course, please do not assume like that it is a crime if sell it like a gen.
By the way, due to that specific box looks very very good quality, so I would like to know if it is gen or rep. how amazing if it is rep box ?
johnlogan Could you Please answer one simple question at least?, many people on here asking the same question to you multiple times: Is that specific box Gen or Rep?

He paid 400 dollars for the rep and box, those boxes go for 150dollars on eBay so I assume it's a Gen box

Of course it is. But one can never be too sure these days. Plenty of reps selling at ebay with a genuine Omega box and the person is selling the whole thing as a gen at gen pricing. I guess its only logical to suspect I suppose if someone wants to acquire the box for their rep. With the box, its sole purpose could be to sell the watch as a gen some time later on. Seeing as the clone reps now come with the cards and numbers too, all one need is the genuine box and you're good to go, sell it for thousands online without declaring the watch is a rep. Who knows. Sorry if I offended some by assuming and suspecting, but just stating the facts. It happens. A lot.

even if it is called as super clone by the factory, it is easy to know at one glance that it is a rep after seeing just the bridge shape of the movement on the open back.

Don't be naive. For some of us here that know how to spot it maybe. But to other buyers out there, they won't know the difference or how to tell them apart. It's hard enough as it is for them to see the differences on a decent rep, I can't imagine how difficult it will be for them to see the difference on a super clone rep. Just look at the number of fakes being bidded on ebay for thousands. They see a great looking rep, comes complete with box and cards, then they pay the seller thousands for it without having any idea that they just paid for a fake.

This terrible looking Sub got bid up over $3K before the seller apparently thought better of going to prison.

thank you for reply. I know you stated i saw that. But the question is still remained unanswered,
because TD can source & can provide for some gen parts or accessories. That is why I had to ask directly. Could you please kindly understand? Thanks for your response.
is the box itself a gen or a rep ?

To answer imranbecks , I prefer the box as a nice general presentation tool. Just makes the watch feel more authentic (even though obviously its not).
johnlogan I asked around many TD's including puretime and they informed me that there is no such replica box like that. So i am assuming they hooked you up with a gen box?
