VSF will release 4 Crpo with their 8500 super clone movement

[sunnydale]

So you think those flaws are acceptable? Like I said, I'd accept the pearl being off center but what's about crooked logo and those scratches on the triangle?
I might get used to it or it might bothers me every time I look at my watch.
You've seen many good or bad reps and that's why I decided to post my concerns and get your opinion.
I know they are reps and probably will never look like gens but I'd like to have first rep which would make me to buy another one because I really like it not because next one could be better. I hope you know what I mean.

No, I don't see any of those flaws.

The pearl is fine, the logo looks normal to me. What about the backside? AU engraving?

Just given the OK on the QC on my 45mm. The pearl was slightly to the left which was enough for the TD to decide to change it for me. Great service and I'll post pics of it when it arrives.

In my eyes, VSF is better

I know what you mean, but you just rejected the watch which was fine.

Thanks for the tips. If you all say it's good then it is. So I went after your advices and been able to get it sent to me.

QC is often a personal thing. Your apprehension, especially regarding the sloppy paint on the 12 o’clock triangle, is justified. You’re the one paying $400+ for the product, not us. So follow your gut and if it’s something that will likely bug you while wearing it, take your chances on another.

If everyone says it looks fine and don't see any flaws then maybe I zoomed in too much and it won't be visible in normal use. Well... will see, you gotta start somewhere.

In the future, instead of asking us, for example about the marks on the triangle. Just ask the TD to wipe it or describe what you are seeing. They have the watch, we don’t.

That's a very good point. It has already happened to me that what were perceived flaws was just dirt

Has anyone changed out the bezel on the 42mm. Sure there was a thread on this?

 

[Pogostik]

Genuine bezel installed, comparison pics to follow later. Just need to install the micro adjustment clasp and this will be a hell of a watch!

Was this easy to do?

 

[Princewilliam]

Asked about more close up photos and rejected the watch in the end. I could live with the pearl being a bit misaligned but the Omega logo looks crooked.
There's also something weird on the left side of the pearl triangle. Looks like scratches or bad paint. Any ideas?

You are out of your mind rejecting this watch

TD’s must hate us

Direct swap! Used my watchsmith as he has the Omega tool to remove bezels.

You must’ve missed the bit where he said he accepted it.

Stopped reading his posts after he said he’d rejected in first place

Really liking the micro adjustment clasp. 130 euros from my watchsmith. It is bigger and thicker than the original, but not uncomfortable.

They do the micro adjustment clasp in three sizes.

117STZ004666 - 3 positions - smaller than original clasp
117STZ001154 - 6 positions - same size as original clasp
117STZ001159 - 6 positions with diver extension - larger than original clasp

I have the 1154 and it is larger than the original this rep had?
