How does it feel compared to gen? Is He valve placement correct? Could you please post more pics? Thanks.

I have not tried on the Gen for a while. Still looking for one. I rejected one in a jewelers over a month ago as they were asking too much for it. I am going by my faulty memory lol. The Gen was not sized for my wrist (7.75 inch) so I cannot vouch for the snugness of the feel, but the rep. feels very good, very comfortable. It is possible that the rep. is a little heavier than the Gen, but that is based on memory. However is not uncomfortably heavy.
If you put this one side by side to a gen it would stick out a mile, especially if magnified. However I know few people who wear them let alone know what it is. So who would call me out really, and if they did I would have no problem letting them know it was a rep. (I am kind of proud of my little find lol)
HeV seems to be slightly above the 10 but not as high as Gen.
Lume application is nice but batons look cheap on close inspection, as this is nowhere as refined as the gen. I have seen photos of gen lume shots and there is no comparison.
Crown guards are less rounded than the Gen and the crown is not as flush to the guards as in the gen.
Caseback is more like a GMT than the SMP. Small Seahorse logo compared to Gen.
The dial on the gen has a lot richer texture. Also the Omega logo is slightly crooked on close inspection.
Bezel insert is a deeper blue on this rep. compared to gen,
Hands look stubbier on the rep. and the lollipop on the sec. hand seems way too big.
Correct engraving on the clasp: Omega Seamaster Professional
However I really love wearing this. It is no where near as beautiful as my LMPO but I somehow prefer wearing it. It does not look like I only paid $95 for it. But it probably would not look like I paid 3k for it lol. It is just not refined enough on close inspection.
Hope this helps.
