OMEGA SPECTRE MKF (review and photos)

[inkyzz]

Hello everyone I will present a small review of the last purchase I made at TRUSTY.

First of all I would like to thank Andrew from TRUSTY for his patience and his seriousness for the different exchanges we have them to have the MKF version of the SPECTRE (which has been put to his catalog recently).

Originally I wanted to take the VS/V6 version of the SPECTRE, but after long search and have browsed many lines of reading on the forums, and by the lack of stock at different TD's I decided to take the MKF version of the SPECTRE.

A big thank you also to LAPAVEL and MECH500 who well fed the forums on this choice.

That being done, let's move on to serious matters.

In this article, we will not talk about the movement that is an A2824-2 with a decoration and that is proven in many of our rep.

Regarding polishing, it's just amazing, the claps and bracelet is very close to gen and very heavy.

In short, externally speaking, this MKF is the closest to the GEN version.

Before wearing it and taking pictures, I placed the bracelet in the ultrasonic bath and the watch was finely cleaned with a small miracle product, the WristClean Watch Spray produced by VERAET. (with true microfiber drying)

Regarding the nato, he went to the washing machine placed in a small net with softener at 30 ° for 30 minutes.

After all, it shows a beautiful watch.

Note 2 : All photos taken was made with an iPhone X without retouching.

Note 3 : Other photos will come when I will have a little more time.

Front pictures in natural light would be appreciated, difficult to judge with this orange background. And it would be cool to see it face up.

Thank you ! But I still really don't know which is the best, and you don't own the 2 models :/
What about the lume, is it strong ? Could we see it ?

Looks good, but I think that only the one who owns the 2 can tell which is the best, don't you think ?

Frankly you'd have to have a one to one comparison as you say, holding both in your hand to spot the differences. As for my untrained eye, I cannot see even the so called difference in size of the bezel ring. I went with VSF because of the movement, which is quite fantastic by the way, every time I see that rotor spin, I smile. Happy with my purchase in the end. I held the gen in an AD recently and I don´t think any of the two models are totally spot on, but very very close indeed.

Here is a link to make a small comparison between the 2 models.

Thank you leo and inkyzz, it will be very difficult to me to make a choice, maybe I will wait they correct "jewets". How could they do that ?

 

[Glaize]

I just asked Andrew for advices... Which is the best for him, let's see...

 

[klockjohan]

MKF has flat hands and the nr 5 on the Bezel is a bit wrong. Other than that it looks great.

Just got an answer from Chazingtime : VSF version is better IMO

 

[magoohkg]

What a beauty!

I asked to Chazing why it's better : It’s because the VSF version has clone movement which is similar to the gen .
Andrew from Trusty said :

I will say its the VS (V6) Factory edition. Their case, strap is better quality.

So it's seems that the VS6F is better on almost everything, right ring circle on the bezel doesn't do everything... ​
