I have been pushing them but nothing! Very strange. If its OOS just give me a heads up-no prob, instead its the silent treatment.

That's odd. Perhaps the raids are still on and they had to move offices too. They have been publishing news on their website, though. Maybe get a refund and try with Ryan?

Paid with BTC, I’ll just wait it out.

Other than that OMF has done a great job.




Amazing! I really like the profile view in the pressure tester. One of the great things of the design of the Speedy Pro is that, while its moderately thick, it looks quite slim because of the size of the mid case. They have managed to capture exactly that feel, brilliant! Shame about the endlinks fitting and slight misalignment on the bezel (I guess that's pretty easy to sort out -the insert I mean-).

All in all congrats!

Don't want to be nitpicking, but look at the seconds markers... The gen has a marker for each second (four), while OMF's has just two ticks between the long markers. Still a great watch, though!

I see it!!! I.e another incorrect dial.

Whatever, I still think it's a great watch.

I like it too.
Hardly think we will see much better going forward. These models are not the factories most important releases. I stand corrected as this is JH Factory and not OMF.
However Im disappointed in PT for bothering sending QCs with a bracelet gap this big. They should have some sort of internal control to weed out these obvious errors.

Agree, a watch with that massive gap shouldn't make it to a TD's hands. Apart from that, the JHF doesn't look very bad actually! I checked with Toro last week about availability and he told me he doesn't have it: http://www.trb88.club/index.php?route=product/product&path=37_142&product_id=2914

Maybe the one from Puretime is an already rejected one? That usually happens with out of stock watches, as sometimes the only ones left around are rejected versions. By the way, the OMF has the correct markers in the chapter ring (long one for 5 minute marks, and just 2 small marks in between): https://www.intime05.co/omega/5741-...-bracelet-manual-winding-chrono-movement.html

Thanks my man! I just send Elena an email requesting a change to OMF.

Toro`s looks to be an older JH model : http://www.trb88.club/index.php?rout...roduct_id=2914
