I've read a fair bit on WatchCo and the plethora of "NOS" SM300s now available on the watch market. It does seem to me that calling something NOS, when it's very questionable that you can actually possess enough original spares to put together these watches as genuine Omegas, is a very grey area. These have been available for 8-9 years now, so surely most of any spares stockpile will be long gone, and therefore these watches are effectively produced from new parts made to the original specs. To my noob mind, that makes it a replica and not an authentic Omega, and that they should be sold as such. This may an be an oversimplification on my part, so if any of the great and good of this esteemed forum would like to put me straight, I'm all ears.
