if you already have the happy feet version.
don't fret too much.

seriously stare at the Gens even. the Omega logo is TINY.
it's not that obvious, unless someone is looking to call you out.
(then it comes down to how you carry the watch off)

99.9% of the people will NEVER get close enough to the Omega logo to ever notice the "happy feet". All I ever get is compliments on my two PO's ....

+1 to what the guys have said, if it bother you though spend the dollars on a gen dial for the same money as a new rep. :) get to keep the swiss and have a bang on dial too!

It's absolutely Not worth making the upgrade from the old upo to the 'new' upo for the benefit of some minor cosmetic changes, as said above, if you want to spend money then buy a gen dial for the old upo (will cost about the same as a new upo!)

....this single change of rep dial to gen will make a huge improvement as rep lume is not even close to gen. No point upgrading to rep again because of some happy feet! Just imo!

Yes - the factories do this to continue selling more watches. This is why almost every improvement is accompanied by some new flaw.

My suggestion would be to change the Dial and the Hands for Gen and that will make a big difference to your PO... If you have some money left have the crystal double AR from a good modder and you're done. No need to change the crown or the He valve except if you want to have your PO waterproof !
