Anyone see that?

It seems like that the numbers and markers of the bezel are misaligned compare to the position of the markers on the dial.

Isn’t it ?

Please look at the 30 maker, 20 marker, 9 o’clock, 12 o’clock area.

Can anyone please tell the VSF about this flaw? so that they can fix?

I think this is a complete new case set as the clone 8500 have different stem height than the miyota and eta versions of this watch. Also the bezel pearl seem to be better than previous reps. For the alignment of bezel it's fine it's the small difference in angles when takeing the photos. It need to be a photo exactly straight from the front to make it line up perfectly same as on a gen. In ordering one of these for sure :)

Ordered an orange one from puretime. I hope they’ll actually have stock. Still waiting for my VSF Seamaster 300 from Intime, it’s been 7 weeks now without a word.

Thickness of a gen 42mm is 14mm, isn’t it?

I visited to an official Omega boutique yesterday.

Omega does not produce the 42mm Planet Ocean model anymore. I was able to see some 45.5mm model and it looks like 16mm thickness for 45.5mm model.

Anyway, for 42mm model..
after watching many videos of gen review,
it seems like there two types of the thickness for 42mm. One is 16mm and the other is 14.3mm. Not 100% sure.

Please any Omega enthusiast and watch expert answer this. thanks.

Looks really good to me.

Lume application looks very crisp.

I’ll be placing a order today.

16mm thickness is the one with 8500, while 14.3mm is the one with modified ETA, therefore this rep is correct thickness

DW font seems off...
the Silver color of the gen shine , like the noob version.

Here it seems to be not shine at all :(

But the font of the bezel seems correct , it was too bold on the noob.

Do you think it's better to order noob crpo 42 or these? Should we be afraid of the first releases? Is it a good mechanism?

I think vsf are too rush to release too much models now, so they make too many flaws on the watch. It's not good vsf....

Why does everyone keep saying this? Have you ever seen a gen in person? The noob bezel was way too shiny, gen is closer to matte.
This looks pretty spot on.

I wanted the 45mm version but I'll have to settle for the 42mm. It looks like they did get the date window incorrect. The 45mm should have the bevel on it.

This is the best crpo on the market now.. Noob was really good but not flawless as well.
