New VSF Omega Planet Ocean 43.5 Ti

[Therion666]

I find this release quite intriguing, but haven't found any opinions on it yet:

OMG0832 - Seamaster 600m 43.5mm TI/RU Grey VSF A8900 [OMG0832] - $438.00 : Trusty Time Watch, Your Trusty Watch Shop

Trusty Time Watch OMG0832 - Seamaster 600m 43.5mm TI/RU Grey VSF A8900 [OMG0832] - VS Factory Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m 43.5mm Titanium 215.92.44.21.99.001 MOVEMENT: Platinum Plated Super Clone Asia A8900 Automatic, Decorated insignia rotor, All markings of Omega Calibre 8900 present CASE...

I like the colorway, but the bezel is textured, when it should have a smooth surface. Plus that Ti marking on the dial looks off. Otherwise it seems pretty spot on.

I'm just afraid that the crown thread might strip, I had a bad experience with their Ti Bond Seamaster. My watchsmith has removed the stem, so it was a push pull after the procedure, but I prefer to keep them as they come

Thoughts?

The 1 photo showing is of a gen watch…

Love the transparency of the TD to admit it on the pic.

It being a VSF release with orange and gray tones (and no blue or no gen-Pepsi red), I am confident that they'll get pretty close to gen.

From my observation, this problem is mostly found in the decorated A2824 reps (SMP), less in the A8500/8900 VSF clone watches (AT & PO)...

I see. Thank you!

I also have sample QC pics provided by Trusty/Andrew, but I'm not sure if I can share.

Sample QC?

So, in other words: not your own personal QCs for a purchase?

Sure, you can definitely post those!

Agreed on this. I do not see it happening with this new release either.

Yeah, not mine. He just showed me some random QC pics to see what it's like. I'll post them later, I'm very busy at the moment.

OK, took a little break to do it, first thing's first

Holy cow, that looks pretty good. The changing gray tones and reflections of the bezel are spot on. Datewheel font = spot on. The orange accents = spot on (perhaps the numbers on the dial could be tad brighter, but too early to say — needs some live pics from owners etc.). The gray on the dial looks very close to gen too. Will be interesting to see live shots from customers for a definite final verdict, but this looks very promising...

I might make a sacrifice for the community and get one...

They probably rep this model because Wu Jing wears this watch in the movie Meg 2: The Trench.
I guess he's big in China

Ahahaha I watched this movie a week ago or so and thought, man, that looks a lot like a Planet Ocean, but didn't think it actually was.

No, just promo qc photos

I believe he was wearing the larger PO chrono in the movie, https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-...hronometer-chronograph-45-5-mm-21592465199001

It's a great looking watch and another solid released from VSF. I have the SBF Ultra Deep but I wonder if I would enjoy this Ti PO more.

The bezel texture looks accurate to me. the markings and numerals are not filled like gen - stop me if you've heard this before but the filling for the bezel markings aren't flush with the ceramic. Seems like VSF are still sticking with the same supplier/factory for their ceramic bezels. But I would prefer that to the disappearing numerals on my VSF Spectre bezel.

The strap is like all the other VSF PO deployant straps - the entire strap is embossed rubber. Gen strap is rubber on the back and the sides, with grey textile on the top. Not hating on it - I have one myself on my Ultra Deep PO, but it's not quite like gen.
