Un "Omega Seamaster Professionnel", en homage de By-Tor, pour vous.
Short & sweet; first photo is the gen, second is the rep.
SMP chrono rep courtesy of Josh last week, I've re-aligned the insert, and the 7750's movement has been adjusted to less than +5 secs per day. Contemplating throwing in a gen Eta 7750 & a re-lume job, per Ziggy--the gen 7750 will have the correct datewheel font as this one does not, but I could care less about it as of now.
The weight is spot-on; only within a few, meer grams of the gen (both having been sized to my wrist) and is so close, the difference is immeasurable in hand.
The band is fantastic; its only flaw, the ubiquitous rep screws, as opposed to pins.
Btw, the rep watch tested solid to 300 feet at the same AD I bought my gen from--the strongest pressure test on a rep I've (personally) seen yet! Simply amazing. And this weekend, she went down to about 60 feet, sound as a pound.
My apologies for the fuzzy picture quality--as it's low light & my tripod's been loaned out.
And here's the clearest pic I could get of the rep's dial:
And as with all reps the lume is decent, but unlike the gen it appears to fade fast. However, to its credit I will say I took this watch off my wrist @ 11 PM last night after toying with the lume & a flashlight, and when I awoke to have a slash around 4 AM, (in a completely dark room, mind you) it was still lit enough to tell exactly what time it was--hour markers and all. I must say so far, this is the closest to gen rep straight from the Box I've seen since the proverbial Rolex Explorer I.
Quite nice; four out of five stars.
