Love the 8500 movement.

Hmmm..... Looks like Uncle Sams watch. Not my favorite. I liked the fantasy rep better that was posted here last week! The one from Trevor.

I've always been a fan of the red accents on some of the Seamasters. I think theres a bit too much on this one + the blue fights with the red.

Not crazy about it, I much prefer the golf AT.

 

[Boneventura]

Golf AT?

 

[Om3ga_guy]

Yupperz check it out - looks better in person on the wrist.

Yeah the golf AT looks sweet, it has a pretty good balance of colours, saw the captains watch promo pic on wus recently, I thought it was a photoshop mockup it is a bit liquorice allsorts in terms of design, definitely eye catching, but that is not always a good thing

Omega make some odd decisions at times, like getting rid of the 2254, the railmaster, and the old style aqua terras, which were much more classic in design than the new ones:

 

[Boneventura]

Yes that Golf version looks great! But golf watches are usually quartz because automatics cannot handle the swing. How did they manage to make an automatic?

Btw DrB the blue markered dial is starting to grow on me. The only thing is, the rep has a silver dial instead of the white. At first I wanted to make a franken Railmaster from the AT I got from you, as you know, but if I could find a gen blue markered dial...hmmmm

 

[Boneventura]

Oh one more thing. It looks like the Stars White/red/blue version has a whole new bracelet, yacht master style.

 

[drbollocko]

Yeah you're right Bone, unfortunately the rep dial for the white blue is kinda off in colour, silvery as you say, not bad, but the gen isn't silver it's kinda 'off white', more like white ivory as above, and the gen markers are much deeper blue than the rep. The old AT rep cases are excellent, just the dials can be a bit off in colour etc. The white/rose gold is also excellent, I once had that gen, but sold it

There is only one Seamaster I want bad and they don't rep it either

Isn't that just sex?

Yes, I'd agree with that, that old AT chrono is out of this world....such a shame no rep...the aren't even easy to find in gen format in perfect condition these days!

Here's another pic just to make us all more miserable

 

[pippo]

the Seamaster chrono above is a real beauty, one of the nicest Omega ever imho

 

[newblahblah]

this IMO is the nicest aquaterra. just beautiful. too bad no good rep exists.

Yeah. That's so, so incredibly gorgeous. Is that a PVD case + bracelet? Here's the only rep I've found of the watch, and it's a cheapo WE SS piece: http://www.watcheden.net/omega-seam...matic-with-black-tuxedo-dial-i-20187-p-1.html

I agree. That's the one I've been hoping to see repped. That dial is pure class.
