I have one on the way too. Very Excited. Question, are the links pretty easy to remove as the are just screw links? Or did you have a hard time adjusting the bracelet?I picked up a V6F Omega CrPO from Sora and it's refreshing to see great quality PO for a reasonable price (below $300). I've had different versions of rep PO over the years, from WE's cheapies to modded v5 from Trevor, BP CrPO from the cartel, and the noob LMPO from Trevor, the V6F has the similar good quality build as with the LMPO.
Here are some photos that I took today.
The case looks great, very good AR coating on the sapphire crystal, the date window cutout is clean, and the date font looks good too. The dial looks matt, dial printing and the Omega logo are nicely done. The ceramic bezel looks amazing, the bezel click is a bit loud. The pearl looks great too!
The HE valve seems to be taller than the gen, the edges are sharp and needs softening. The bezel teeth are well made.
The bracelet is a bit rattly when it came but after some WD40 and olive oil bath, it became better. The bracelet edge are a bit sharp, it needs softening as well. The clasp engraving looks as good as the noob clasp.
The glamour wrist shot, you can see from this angle that the HE valve is long compared to the gen.
The Miyota 8215 was decorated to look similar to the Omega 8500 movement, it's a 21 jewels automatic movement with a 21k bph and is non-hacking. The date adjustment is going counter-clockwise and the time adjustment is not as smooth as the Asian ETA clones. The decorated Miyota movement is what held me back from buying the V6F previously, but since I sold off the LMPO recently, I had to grab this one and hope for the best. I'm glad that I did, it looks much better in person.
That's it for the V6F Omega CrPO mini-review, thanks for reading!
Thanks mate.
The links have very small screws on both sides that hide a pin inside. Very easy to remove but, the screws can be a little hard if you don't use a magnetic screwdriver.

I had a hard time taking out the screws. All of the screws had some form of thread-lock applied ala Locktite.
Thank goodness for the swiss screwdrivers I had, the chinese ones just wouldn't open it and kept slipping.

Sora (mentioned by the OP) has a section in the supporting vendors called ShineWatch. I got mine from him a couple a weeks ago. Great dealer, very good prices and communication. Here's the post for this watch:

How is the bezel on your V6 CrPOs? Mine is rattly and has about 1,5mm play. Does this happen a lot or is it just my bad luck? It's new, I got it this way.
The bezel on mine does have a little bit of play but no rattle. Are you sure it's not the rotor you are hearing? It is noisy on the V6f, compared to a noob (from what I've read).
