Sorry to bump an old thread, but its too good to let die lol

side note: would a TD be able to get ahold to a new bezel for this model?

^^^Exactly! If Noob make it with a nice ceramic bezel with quility printed numbers like they have on the POs I'll be all over that.

I'd buy a high quality rep of the blue. Underrated watch IMO

I ordered a similar model just the other day. My first rep. Very excited!

Those are all very nice replicas...if it weren't for the bezel...those engraved numbers would just anoy the shit out of me. I'm hoping Noob makes a replica, because they've obviously mastered the technique of printing on ceramic as we can see on the Planet Oceans.

I haven't had a genuine sample in my hands, but from the photos that I've seen it looks like the gen's bezel is indeed engraved... Look here:

At least, it looks different to a simply printed bezel on every photo with a decent resolution that I have seen...

I hate to disappoint you, but I have examined a gen quite closely at an AD and the numbers on the bezel are definitely printed on, no engraving whatsoever.

I really want one of these smp's and am based in the UK. Which is the best dealer to purchase from without having to worry about postal seizure?

Toro (ToroBravo) or Sead (Supermirrors) might have stock in the EU.

There's no excuse why this does not have a LMPO-style smooth insert...especially for the price. The TDs should have stepped this up with the makers long ago.

Agree with that, this watch has near 1:1 potential with the closed caseback

Hi guys - iw been looking for a Sea master and this review is a great starting point for the search :)
But as there is 1 year + since the review was done have there been any upgrades that you know of or is this still current ?
Many thanks for a great review ;)
