I've been eyeing numerous watches for years, but I keep coming back to the Omega Seamaster Worldtimer and GMT II Bruce Wayne. I even considered making an unwise move and splurging on a gen Worldtimer at one point since I had read that the VSF Worldtimers were "flawed". From some of the reviews, it almost seemed like rep Worldtimers would be as far as off as the rep Speedmaster watches.
However, after seeing a few positive reviews of the Worldtimer, I said "screw it" and went for it... along with a GMT II.
TheOneWatches was very responsive and clear with instructions.
This wasn't my first rep purchasing experience, but first time with them, and I was pleased with the communication.
September 19: Surprisingly, we went back and forth a few times via email on the same day. I reached out, asking about the two watches availability. I get a response saying that have the Worldtimer on hand and can order the GMT II (they expect to take a few weeks). They also let me know they can ship the Worldtimer first and then the GMT once it shows up. I agree, and they send me payment info.
September 20: I submit payment for Worldtimer + $50 down on GMT and they confirm they received the money.
September 22: I receive QC pics. I GL the watch, and send shipping info.
September 23: I sent another message asking for confirmation they're shipping the Worldtimer first and not waiting on the GMT (wanted to make sure this wasn't confused in translation). They respond confirming this is correct.
September 26: They send email with picture of shipping label asking me to confirm everything is correct one last time (I did appreciate this thoroughness). I confirmed its accuracy. They responded and said it was shipping with provided tracking number.
September 30: The watch showed up! I have no idea how it moved so fast, as I've often had to wait 2 weeks or so once the watch is shipped, but this one must have snuck in with some first class mail or something.
It's gorgeous, I'm thrilled with it, and I can't wait for the GMT II to arrive with TheOneWatches and ultimately make it here. I'll provide follow up once I receive that watch here.
A few notes on the VSF WorldTimer.
The operation seems identical to gen. It feels identical to gen. It is gorgeous. To my eyes, it is 99.9% identical to gen. The only "tell" is the most absolute minute differences in the globe map vs the gen. They are so small, I don't notice them, but if I hold the watch up and try to nit pick I can every so slightly believe that I'm observing the difference. But, it's literally that small that I do not care at all about it, as I don't know if I'm even seeing this difference or imagining I am. I was worried at one point about it actually being VSF after reading the influx of people getting lower quality factory watches than what they paid for, but thankfully that wasn't the case. Point being, if you see the VX112 picture in your QC, it's VSF. 10/10, would buy again.
