Black seal is creamy. Almost identical to the shade of lume marks (when lume is not charged). As for lume color - almost the same as on 390

Pictures aren't going to help you, basically it is very much like the gen.
The seconds hand is a bright white with only thin lume on the ouside outline like the gen. The rest is lume colored.

I would say the coloring is very close to the gen perhaps the lume is slightly more greenish than gen but that really isn't very noticeable.

So the fun begins!

Changed the strap only once and now have one screw being loose. And it's not the problem of the screw (switched from another hole) it's the problem with the threading in the case! Now i cant tighten the screw to secure the lug and have one end loose.

Dealer's opinion on this issue is:
"You have worn the watch, factory can change case at extra costs (100-150usd)".

So my advise - DON'T BUY THESE RADIOMIRS. IT WONT LAST EVEN ONE STRAP CHANGE!!!

As per GTG with vilius69 he noticed that Hfac still uses the same case as per 380 (which means case edges are still not sharp enough and the funny part is that the sharpness of "pillow" edges differ at 12 oclock side and 6 oclock side - at one side (can remember which - edges are more blunt)).

I changed the Strap too but had absolutely no problems there. Screws are fitting in nicely.

So, basically, what's improved in the new version is the dial printing (off white vs white) and nothing else? the case blunt corner remains.

The only option for accurate radiomir remains the 292. Sad....
