H Factory SOSF Pics

[Snpr9696]

Ok...here are a few pics of the SOSF I got from Sead. Swiss ETA although I have not pulled the back of to confirm yet. I will take more pics later but here are a few as well as a short video to get us started. Also a few pics with my older "Swiss ETA SOSF I got last year from Silix.
Enjoy

which model is on the left? It looks like my 21j model. I noticed the following differences:

The engraving on the bezel looks amazing in these pics, especially compared to the one on the left.
The lume on the rehaut looks a little light compared to the dial, but at least it has lume there.
The AR looks better - less glare.
The numbers look more domed.
The crown guards look so much better.

that is just what stands out at first glance.
Wow - I really want one of these now...

Friggin awesome Mr. Snpr! I may have to spring for one of these. I will admit, I like the day time lume on the Silix model better. As well as the whiter pearl color. But all the other features, finishing and possibilities of modding with gen parts are almost too good to pass up.

The black SOSF I got from Silix about a year ago. I photograph it often. I believe it was $200 and change give or take. It stated Swiss eta but when I pulled it when it first arrived it definitely was not an ETA. It has a decorated rotor though. I had to seal the HEV on it due to condensation. I wondering if I have to do the same on this one. The black fish has a horrible bezel turn and smudges on the dial as well as the bezel engravings. No engraved "B" either. I do like it though but the white fish is light years ahead.

Snypr, dam awesome that you already got one and shot right away some picture for us. How is the bracelet on the SOSF? Is the clasp well made this time around?

Yah, that's niiice.

Glad to finally see it (and great pics to boot). I wonder if H-factory did the original swissfish?

Yannou...seeing the video of how the watch plays in the light it's even more evident how close this watch really is.

please let them come out with a black or blue version. The bezel is what truly gets me. that and superlume, it may be pricey, but you could not franken one that nice for that money.

Snypr,

how is the crown and the tube one these?

Can you say something about the quality of the bracelet?

Thanks mate!

Here ya go.
Best I can do with my 2y.o screaming at me at the same time.


The tube and crown are nicely done. Crown screws in smoothly to the base without any hang ups. It sits flush with the case without any contact with the bezel unlike my Silix version. Crown is nicely machined and the B is crisp.

The clasp locks positive without any play in the locking tab. It has a very positive snap upon closure. The engraving is done just as well as everywhere else.

I took the watch into water with out any problems. Sead
Personally tested it to 5ATM.

Thanks for those pictures. I really appreciate it. I'm going to order the blue one tonight.

One more thing, how is the bezel? Does it have a nice clean click and not too much play?

who has the blue one?

The bracelet end links so much tighter than my 21j version. looks like they even bevelled the sides of the screw holes.

Very positive and no play on mine. My older fish you could play a drum roll on by tapping on it.

I have a blue one. Will try to post pics over the weekend.

Looks awesome, thank u for sharing
Seems to be vastly improved from the original not just a super lumed remake which I originally feared
My only minor gripe would be how green the pearl looks uncharged
Overall though everything looks genuine on this one and it needs no modding

Believe all dealers can now get the blue and black dial versions
