But the real Prince William wears the quartz SMP Diver 300m...haha..jk

Nice. You ordered the rep with orange numerals?

I'm wearing my gen right now and the shade of gray and shine looks pretty much the same as in PrinceWilliams's qc pic.

I was judging The finish from the video rather than q.c. Pics. My gen 46 is with omega due to a stripped crown so can’t show at the moment wha5 I mean.

I'm assuming there's been no word of a 39.5mm edition coming

This 39,5mm should be for the 8900series not the 8500

So is this the newest NWBIG for Omega ? No tells yet from what i can see:

+ Movement function 99% same except for beat rate
+ Date window looks rounded per gen
+ Bezel number font matches gen
+ Color of bezel also matt not glossy per gen

So no issues so far ?

Hi mates,

If someone has received it, can you do a review or send us live pics?

This VSF PO looks very nice!

 

[frisoer]

Looks great! Maybe I'll do a photoshop comparison this evening with the QC pics we got so far. I might jump off the LMPO train and join this one for my first rep instead. Exciting time

peace, freezy

worked out an order for the 42mm orange marker version today, just need to head over to western union and pay for it. very excited, will be my first rep and I think I picked a good first one.

I’d be really interested to see how the movement looks side by side with a gen when somebody gets the chance. More from a curiosity point of view than anything!

Mine arrived today.

First impressions:

Wow. This is seriously a good rep. Bear in mind I have owned so many gen Planet oceans (2500 and 8500h, that I have lost count...so you could say I am a big fan.


Here are some quick checks i did:

Crystal is perfect. Don’t put a x2AR crystal on it.

Dial/hands lume application looks flawless to me. I have never perfect lume on ANY LMPO.

Hour surrounds are clean and shine like gen.

no finger prints/lume over-spill/smudges on hour maker surrounds and hands.

Movement is quite. ZERO rotor sound. Very well finished.

Winding is nice but not as smooth as gen 8500.


Bracelet is hefty like gen. nothing about this release looks and feels like a cheap Chinese rep.


Bezel rotation is crisp but doesn’t sound quite as perfect and precise as gen but nothing I can’t live with.

Overall the quality of this is on par with the modern Rolex reps.

Some outdoor iPhone pics (low light here):

No edits/filters.

Maybe the seamaster logo is a little less orange than the seconds hand tip (but I don’t know if this is a gen batch feature....nobody can prove it either way).

This is what the lume looks like after being outside in low evening light for 1 -2 mins:

have you spoken to anyone about a potential service if/when required?

Not yet. Good news is that it doesn’t have the coaxial crap that is a mission to service. The rest of the movement is basically an eta (well at least it’s made my ETA for Omega.... despite being called “in-house”).

Hence I imagine the common wear parts to be compatible with ETA parts but we need a watchmaker to confirm.

Maybe I’ll send it to ado213 for a breakdown movement review.
