New release: VSF 2018 Seamaster wave dial

[The Rod]

You are not the only one. Wait till you see my collection of Bond watches. It's a mixture of rep and gen..haha..

I hope VSF can rep that grey dial..... This photo of it won me over. Not a fan of the thumbprint waves, but the colour of the dial looks brilliant!

Well, gray shouldn't be too complicated, fingers crossed

I think applied Omega logos would make this model look even better. Seeing as the retail price for the gen is pretty nicely priced, I wonder if Omega was trying to keep costs low for it by sacrificing the applied logos for painted ones...

Here is a pic of the lume on the Rep....
Somewhat underwhelming to me, but mostly just because there isn't all that much of it and I am used to some real flame throwers

I was going to post this last night. Reminds me a Rolex with the blue and then there’s the contrasting pip and minutes marker

UR factory, another version released , It looks more cheap and terrible-Looking.

URF reps are entry level reps. Each of their omega reps was nowhere close to the top makers. I don't know why are they even trying..

It is annoying that once a 1:1 rep is released o. the market, then another factory’s low quality rep is also released at the same time which makes a confusion and increases the possibility of getting wrong one.

Get to know the differences so you don't get the wrong one. The differences is pretty obvious.

That is what I mean. Get to know the differences = Need to study what are the differences = need to spend more time and effort to distinguish/prevent the fast following lower quality rep of the high end rep.

Yeah, why don't you just go ahead and buy gen to spare you from all that awful long nights of studying fake watches.

You made the effort to find a place where to find fake watches so you can go the extra mile to find out which are good and which are not.

It took me about 90 minutes to read every post in this thread and to check all photos. I am not into Omega watches but the detailed input of all posters in here helped me a lot. Thank you!
About the A2824 movement that is obviously mounted in this watch I dont really care, but I am concerned about the stability of the A2824 movement in this watch. The reason is that the datewindow is located at 6 o clock. I thought that the datewindow of an A2824 movement genuinely is located at the 3 o clock position and therefore a modified A2824 movement will needed (which is not very reliable) to get the datewindow at 9 o clock. Please tell me that I an wrong, since I really like this watch with a reliable and easy to service movement and please don''t judge me wrong, I just wanted to get that sorted.
I would be glad if somebody could tell me if the A2824 with date at 6 o clock is the genuine position of this movement without any modifications needed. Please let me know, thank you!

You are wrong. Nothing to worry about. No modification necessary even, just different printing direction of the #'s on the datewheel is all

Thank you very much . I am glad I was wrong.

Would it also be possible to replace for an ETA2824 as well?

Just ordered mine from Trusty

replace for an ETA2836, not ETA2824

ok great, thanks.

I just found this video from the baselworld about the new seamaster in which they say that the new seamaster has superluminova on the bezel numbers as well. I dont think the rep has that, has it?

Here is the link to the video from baselworld:

Yea, he's right. It's actually an A2836-2 so you could make a swap to the ETA movement, but I think you do have to ask yourself, "why am I doing this." This Asian clone movement is pretty good and it is easy to fix or replace if something does go wrong down the road.

I totally agree, but it is just good to have some options
