How is the positioning of the datewheel? Is the hight ok?

Thanks for the review, very helpful indeed! I presume, all the cronograph functionalities are available as they are in the gen?

The datewheel is sunken in due to the modified 7750 movement. Even the gen has somewhat of a sunken datewheel, but the rep a little deeper.

No problem! Yes the chronograph functions per gen. 60 minute counter and hour hand that keeps up to 12hr time.

Very nice review! Thanks!
Is it just me, but i can´t see no pictures, except the ones at daylight.

That's the info I was looking for. I've seen manufacturers say "as per gen" before, and it's not always accurate. That's why I asked for a video. Thanks for confirming that it actually does 12 hour chrono.
I used to own the Seamaster 600m Chrono in gen and wanted to make sure these new ones were working the same before taking the plunge.

Great watch i just ordered it. Did the leather strap come with it ? Watchoutlet is refusing to send me a leather strap with it too.
Thanks for the review you made me buy the watch.

Yes the leather strap came with it. Most TDs I know selling this watch include the leather strap. Perhaps send Watchoutlet the link showing this from perhaps Puretime and maybe they will agree.

Currently this is one of my favorite watches out there (in its three versions available), I loved it and I don't know which of its three versions is the nicest one, maybe the one with the yellow hour markers or the blue dial one (those red arrows are really a spot on). I don't mind about he height of the watch to be honest.

I always loved the speedmaster but I don't like manual winding watches so this one have all I like from Omega.

But there is a thing that I need to know, I supposed that the sub dial at three o'clock should work with the chrono function as minute and hours counter but I have been seeing videos in Puretime and I am worried about how should work. If it is linked to the chrono function should reset every time you reset the chrono but looking at puretime videos of the watch you can see clearly that the sub dial at three o'clock doesn't reset.

Look (dial at 3 o'clock is marking 0:40 minutes and doesn't move after reseting chrono):

In the second video, the blue dial version:

What do you think?? Shouldn't be moving with the chrono function or I am wrong???

I got confirmation from several TD that the 3 o clock functions as per original.

OMF is getting better and better with Omega's - plus they dont use any shitty 8215 movements.

Now we need a review of the 43mm PO's especially the Blue. They have fixed the mispelling on the movement on the new batches.

I can also confirm the the chronograph subdial hands both work as per gen. The minute and the hour hands.

Awesome review! Thanks for taking the time to compare the rep and the Gen. Would you guys say that in general, this variant on the '57 is the most accurate looking/operating of all of the existing mechanical speed master reps?
