So what are you saying, yours was already greased and you didn't have to do this, or you did it anyway? What is the 30-m home test?


Sent from my satellite phone.
Yes, it was already greased and I just re-tightened the backcase. The 30-meter test is done cheaply and quickly in a mall. I don´t need all my reps to be waterresistant but to select some for swimming really adds to the fun. Had lots of good summertime moments with this one:)

Thanks for the link, had not seen that one yet. I would suppose it´s not fading but really wear from tight cuffs/ coarse jacket etc. as it´s most notable in one specific place.

Possibly. Hmmm... Remind me not to wear mine with long sleeves or a jacket then...

Thats very strange since omega web offers nato straps under Accesories category? if they dont sell why do they offer them as accesories??? I think there is a nato "non spectre" grey and black and a nato "sprectre" grey and black wich maybe the restricted one? using common sense straps have a "short" lifespan. For the updated bezel's spacing, Kw normally don't make drastical updates in my experience.

Yes, to be clear I'm only talking about the "Spectre" Limited Edition NATO that's restricted. The "non-Spectre" that @imranbecks and several other members have (Part No. 031ZSZ002045) is not restricted and can be ordered or purchased at any boutique.

Omega does this with other straps as well, like the gorgeous blue/green NATO that comes on the X-33 Solar Impulse Edition. The black/orange, black/red, and black/grey versions are readily available, but the blue/green one can only be purchased with the watch or on a 1:1 exchange for a damaged or worn out strap.

Cape cod? To brush the center links? I used a nail buffer on mine...

Speaking of the bracelet. I just found a minor nitpick on the bracelet with regards to the 007 logo on the clasp. The rep has the unregistered trademarked symbol "TM" after the 007 on the clasp. But on the gen, it doesn't have the "TM" symbol....

Where I need to be.
Yes thats the gen. But holy crap! That bidding price its at is ridiculous!!!! How hard is it to just go down to the boutique and getting it from there for a much more lower price? I don't think its sold out everywhere or out of production. Ridiculous.

edit: I just noticed its the brushed parts with the 007 logo from the limited edition SM300. Still a ridiculous amount just for the 007 logo. For me, I'd hate to wear it with the 007 logo. Bad enough the clasp of the bracelet already have the 007 on it....

This strap was bought by a fellow member here, another fellow local. I'll wait for him to come post pics of it lol.

Kinda ridiculous to think that the strap he'll use actually costs more than the watch itself.

He does own the gen seamaster 300 co-axial and I think the strap is going on that. I was like "wow dude you must really be a huge 007 fan." Lol

Oh ok.. If he owns the gen SM300 than I suppose thats alright and somewhat reasonable since its the limited edition 007 logo'ed version of the nato strap.

Actually like what you mentioned some posts back, I prefer it without the 007 logo on the hardware. I'm happy to buy the gen regular nato from omega and use that.
Thanks for your advice regarding the strap I appreciate it.

On a separate note, I think that the v2 inner bezel thickness is the same as the v1 at first glance. I will however do a comparison once I receive my v2. I would also attempt to replace the movement with an ETA one that would fit. ;)

To my knowledge nothing will fit: hands, dial feet, possibly height/location of the crown-stem. The only thing "unreliable" are the glued on movement decorations. Take these off, re-glue them or swap in a factory-fresh, locally bought Myota and it will be fine like forever.
