I saw, that VSF (factory of the year)* released another amazing watches.

Puretime: https://puretime.io/omg2019010802.html

As you can see, they fixed ugly engraved bezels already, so now it looks simply perfect. Hope, that they release V2 of all Planet Ocean models with this bezel type.

* sorry, it's OMF factory, with PVD 316L steel :(

OMF or VSF why would we need to hold our breath? It would be a minor update for the factories to fix the engraving on the other models. This bezel looks heaps better than the engraved POS that VSF has put out.

This is a zero update as OMF bezel always was like it, just the new model repped. Go buy it if you prefer OMF reps over VSF:D

Available already for 398$ at PT - https://puretime.io/seamaster-planet...ap-a9900.html#

Rep seems to be a crap by only one reason - GEN IS CERAMIC. And this crap is PVD 316L. Period.

PS. Regardless caseback is closed, movement is very poorly decorated. Plus there is plenty of discussions, why 1:1 VSF clone movements much more gen-like and reliable than any decorated ones.

But that doesn't matter, the bezel isn't engraved which makes all those other flaws insignificant! /sarcasm

Why is it red when Volvo does nothing red?! If anything, it should've been Cyan, or even yellow like the accents on the newest S60
