To me, the case on my perfect replica Omega Seamaster 120 always looked elegantly tough, and it’s even better now that the gold has aged. I don’t always like a Seamaster more than its Rolex equivalent, but I honestly think that this was a much cleaner and nicer-looking watch than the Datejust. The case has traditional lyre-shaped lugs, and its various edges are finished well. The flanks are brushed and help break up a large, sweeping surface. I particularly adore the lovely crown guards and how they organically ensconce the crown. The dial of Swiss made fake Omega is attractive and doesn’t look like it’s hitting its 30th birthday. Finally, the tritium was useful in the dark, and it’s nice to view a relatively modern watch from before the days of exaggerated indices.
A once-popular watch that has all but disappeared
Indeed, plenty of photographs exist of best 1:1 fake Omega Seamaster 120 models from this period. However, there are surprisingly few for sale. The ones that are for sale are often in terrible condition. For certain, the overall quality at AAA quality replica Omega has improved drastically over the past three decades. Watches from the ’90s now seem like they’re from a malaise-ridden period when materials or quality control weren’t as advanced, and it’s evident with plenty of lume rot and signs of moisture. Frankly, it probably led to many of these watches being thrown into the scrap pile. It’s a shame because, taken at face value, these are lovely super clone watches.
Wears well and still looks sharp
As you can probably tell, I’ve barely worn my high quality fake Omega Seamaster 120. After buying it, I went off to college, and it certainly wasn’t an appropriate watch for frat parties and other typical behavior. When I did choose to wear it, it was primarily for more formal occasions. Then, as two-tone copy watches for sale fell out of fashion, I admittedly forgot about it. Now, though, I’m wearing it more than ever before. It fits perfectly, and while I think a 20mm lug spacing would give it more presence, I can’t argue that it’s a well-balanced design on the wrist.
Final remarks
The top quality replica Omega Seamaster 120 from the ’90s will never become some sort of icon. Nevertheless, it’s an important piece within an enduring line of watches. This is the everyday Seamaster that doesn’t proclaim to be good at any one task, yet it can handle anything within reason. It also set the table for the cheap fake Omega Seamaster line that still exists today. I like those watches, but I miss the quiet confidence from these earlier pieces. Today, these watches cost between €1,500 and €2,500 depending on condition and if it’s a private or dealer sale. If it’s a nice one, I think that’s very good value indeed.
