NEW VSF Omega Seamaster 300m releases coming very soon!

[Time_Wizard]

It looks like the crown guards are still really small. Almost not there on the pic.

I also took the photo not with the camera directly in front of the dial. its slightly left. thats why the CGs are not visible.

 

[Time_Wizard]

My V1 dial is exactly like that one

Good to know. Thanks for the info mate!!

hi folks, as I have a sedna SMP coming in, I could really use your help with QC-ing ( I feel like I have overinspected it at this point)

two concerns:
- bezel slightly misaligned at 3 and 9 (which is odd as 12 looks to be on spot)
- 30 of bezel inlay looks very rough

thanks in advance

The 30 in the bezel really seems a bit rough. I would ask for another close up shot.

The alignment of the bezel seems spot on. I think it's just the angle the picture was taken. Otherwise the rest would not be aligned as well.

 

[Time_Wizard]

But I would say that the bezel is not aligned with the bezel insert.

could you point that out in the picture? don't exactly see what you mean..

You're kidding right? That is as good as they come. If you need a ridiculous drawing with red lines zoomed in to 50x magnification to see that it's a none issue.

That watch is absolutely perfect. If I were Li and you rejected the watch because of that I'd tell you to do business elsewhere. It's a tiny misalignment which could as well be due to the viewing angle being a tiny bit from the left. If it really bothers you even though it's not visible in real life it's a really easy fix to adjust the insert a tiny bit.

The 30 roughness may just be dirt or a fingerprint. In any case absolutely no reason for rejection in my book. Those are toy watches assembled in dirty illegal factories by underpaid Chinese workers. Scrutinizing a counterfeit watch like that expecting absolute perfection will get you nothing but head aches and trouble in this business.

The biggest flaw on this clone model is the tiny crown guards as far as I'm concerned. I have one and I absolutely love it. Oh btw the insert on mine is slightly more misaligned but I only see it if I look for it intentionally straight from the front. It's not noteable in daily life on the wrist only if you specifically look for it and only if you do so straight from the front IMO.

I am always surprised when I see such questions... from the beginning as I arrived here (so less than 2 months ), I read QC pictures were not made to reject all the watches till you find a perfect one.
Furthermore, all this picture are taken from hand, so generally not perfectly straight 90° from the watch.
I told Sead I trusted him to check with his experience, and checked with the pictures he had what I really ordered, as a mistake is still possible.
I think most of us would not even be as picky with an AD (ie reject sometimes 2-3 watches), although paying 10-15x more.

Take it. That is an amazing super rep. Watch is a little tilted to the left which is causing the misrepresentation.

First of all, I didn't reject the watch and do trust Li's word.
Nevertheless, QCs are there to examine the watch before shipping, so why not assess & address the things that bother you?

I kindly asked for another angle and a close-up shot of the 30 and thought I'd ask you guys if you saw anything else, what you all clearly don't. no harms done

 

[Time_Wizard]

I would GL the watch. The misaligned bezel insert is n easy fix either by yourself or by an watchmaker. The rest of the watch looks pretty awesome. Just to be sure about the 30 I would ask for another photo (as you did). Probably you will see that everything is spot on.

 

[tripdog]

Draw more lines - I can almost see the watch.

Correct, QC pics are for the buyer to ensure that he's going to get the model he ordered and that there are no major flaws with the watch.

QC pics however are not to be shared on the forum with the sole aim of people pointing out microscopic discrepancies and nitpicking.

The myriad of lines that you've drawn on your watch don't and can't take into account factors such as camera angle, foreshortening, perspective etc.

thanks, I didn't know that

to my knowledge QCs are allowed to be posted IF an issue is presented that seems worth discussing.
The misalignment and 30 seemed appropriate at the time, which is why I consulted you in the first place. looking at it now it falls into the category mentioned above

What is worth discussing and what isn't worth discussing is highly subjective - personally I prefer to make decisions on my own about whether a watch is acceptable or not.

A missalignement of 0,02mm is not an “issue” , maybe for Omega QC standards yes.

And as said below those lines doesn’t mean nothing if the picture it is not parallel to the watch dial.
