Omega Aqua Terra 150M Small Seconds - gen or rep?

[watchcollector]

Is this a gen or a rep? Opinions? Should I test the movement on a timegrapher to see if it's 25,200 bph as a gen should be? As far as I know, there are no reps with this bph.

Looks gen to me

Gen.

The movement would be the big tell if it were not gen.

But you can see yourself, this is not a decorated movement or anything, this is definitely gen.

Compare to the below image on Chrono24 of someone selling theirs. It's an exact match. Gen.

You don't need to buy a timegrapher, just use your phone camera and record it if you have a "slowmo" feature. Go frame by frame and count the # of ticks in 1 second of video.

Balance is genuine. Movement is genuine.

Watch is genuine.

Uhh I would just use "Watch Accuracy Meter" on Android or iPhone. My go-to timegrapher. No need to do any counting!

Separate microphone required, but yeah. I've never gotten it to work just holding my phone to it, but I have some airpods luckily that are good enough.

I was thinking to use the phone app (Watch Accuracy Meter). No rep should do 25,200 bph, right?

Yeah, no rep that I know of. Anyways, you could take a more angled picture of the balance (maybe?) to see if theres a hidden regulation arm, but it looks like a genuine balance to me and not just a deco cover.

Your watch is gen. But for your sanity you can 100% use Watch Accuracy Meter. It will auto detect 25,200 BPH and you should be golden. To my knowledge only other gen watches run at that BPH, like Longines has a few for example.

does this work for all movements?

For omega for the most part. Most gens are 28800, omega is a bit of a standout at 25200. No rep that I know of is 25200, that’s why

Android you can download watch accuracy meter for free and get basic timeographer info.
