Vintage Omega Seamaster back in stock!

[Lagunax]

I actually went with the Trustytime older version as I have the newer version already. The case on the Trustytime has a more recessed crown in the case.

This rep doesn’t really shine until you replace the plexi with a high dome plexi and relume. Then is is quite special.

Thanks for your replies. Now I have something to think about for a couple of days

Anyone has a source for a dome plexi crysyal replacement ?

Strodda did mine in the past I guess you can PM him.

Two of my high dome plexi and relumed ones by Strodda:

I probably order a date non military issue.
the new version have Lume on the bezel insert from what I see on the intime pictures. The old rep didn’t have any at all. On my big triangle rep I relumed the insert with weak patina lume and realized that I put C3 lume in instead of C1 so the color didn’t match. However the daylight color match good and that’s all that matter the gen tritium inserts don’t emit any light anymore anyway.

also the coin edge of the intime version seem little different than the previous version.

also this have probably a 120 click one directional bezel, instead of a 60 click bi-directional as per gen.

this new ones look promising to use as vase for a little project

Does this rep watch comes with screw down crown?

I have one incoming from perfect clones. The QC photos looked great. It is being trans-shipped through the middle east and from tracking I got about 10 days ago hasn't yet arrived to the trans-ship location where it will then be forwarded on to me. Perfect clones communication has been excellent and very quick to respond. I'll post some photos when I receive the watch. I got the big triangle no date version.

The description of the watch I purchased from perfect clones said the crown does screw down. I will probably have it pressure tested and gaskets inspected when it arrives. Would like to swim with it.

The previous release didn’t even have gaskets IIR.
Also the plexi was rotatable - i.e. loose.

But you should be able to UV glue seal the plexi.

Mine from Strodda were water ok 3ATM after UV glue sealing of a replacement high dome plexi even without gaskets IIR.

This newer release has a rubber seal it seems by the pics.

I ordered the no-date civil version. Will see in 2 months how it is (shipping is soooooo slow lately...)

Wanted to update everyone on this topic. My watch arrived from perfect clones today. 2 days before the DHL shipping showed it arriving! It took about 10-12 days for the watch to get from China to Bahrain and then it went to Germany the UK and finally the US. Watch looks exactly like the QC pics posted above. The bezel action is alright. Lume is very good. The photo posted below was taken with Iphone 11 which exaggerates light in low light conditions. But the lume is pretty good. I've had the watch on 2 different bracelets. A cheap shark mesh from ebay. It's a bit wabi sabi. I picked up a No Time to Die Seamaster rep a few days ago. The mesh bracelet from it looks amazing on this watch. The supplied "vintage" style side stitch strap was a bonus. It's alright - typical for a replica strap. The stainless omega buckle is a nice bonus.

Great looking watch, I was hoping it would have a more accurate case though.

Looks like lume and plexi seem improved since previous model.
Will compare when I get mine, just accepted QC today.

I’m waiting on QC for the non military without date now.

I will spec the build like this:
• Gen crown/tube
• Gen plexiglass (if possible, otherwise Sternkreuz high dome)
• Gen hands (Patina lume)
• Gen 552 omega movement
(to have correct beat rate of 19800 instead of 28800)
• Custom milled aluminum movement spacer
(ETA ø 25.6 mm, Omega ø 27.9 mm)
• Custom milled dial support in 316l SS to align stem
(Stem hight ETA 1.80 mm, Omega 1.65 mm)
• Custom milled bezel rim with 60 clicks bidirectional
• Modding and relume bezel insert
• Relume of dial with patina lume to match hands/bezel
• Genuine mesh strap with seatbelt clasp
• Maybe soften and rework the case finish to get the right vintage feeling.

It will probably take a while to finish but I always wanted a non military big triangle without date.

Stay tuned

(Stem hight ETA 1.80 mm, Omega 1.65 mm)

Since this case seems to be setup for an Asian 2836 clone, I assume it will be setup for a stem height of 2.25mm. ETA 2824 stem height is 1.80mm, but an ETA 2836 has a stem height of 2.25mm.

In any case, I am looking forward to following your build!

I found a gen T-dial for just over €85.000
Then I saw the shipping costs were a rather steep and ridiculous €29 though, so I backed out.
