I like it.

Even a tad better than the previous super rep Seamaster chrono. Black dial here with the bold number font is sweet...A decent lume pearl, I dont think the photos do the dial justice (my hunch)...
NOTE: a potential problem from this rep: because of the applied Omega logo on the dial, chances are some members will get the "crooked logo" issue on their purchase...this is a chance here for all dealers to make good on promises of Quality Control...??
I bet in real life this watch is nice.

What do you think?

Already spotted a downside

No AR mentioned....

DAMN.....

But, on the "crooked logo" issue:

there is this new model too: this time the logo and name are printed (better odds)

The problem with omegas with 3,6,9 subdials is that Omega does not use the 7750 movement, so subdial spacing is way off.

The subdial spacing issue really is the thing keeping me from buying all these Omega chrono models.....a shame really .....these are great quality reps otherwise :roll: :cry: :cry:

always wonder why they make an almost perfect rep, but always make sure to mess one thing up...

Why do yo need chrono anyways if it will barely get used? If the subdial spacing is keep you away form it get the non chrono version of the Omeegas. jmho

The subdial spacing is not an "easy fix", like wrong text, pearl or logo. The wrong subdial spacing is due to the movement they have to use, the only one available.. unfortuneately. :/

The part of the number 3 and 9 markers should be visible on the Olympic model, but then again it all come down to the wrong sub dial spacing.

Also, on the Rep, the subdial @ 9: the 45 is too close to the needle.
It looks cluttered. I like the Gen version of the Chrono Diver Black, but this Rep doesn't score any points for me, I'm afraid.
