Thank you for your response and excellent points. During QC, I RL’d 2 of these due to crooked 12 and 6 markers and yellow lume (not all three each time). The 3rd QC all markers were aligned AND the dial markers were white! Only upon receiving it and seeing it in person that I can tell they have the yellow tinge. You must need to be REALLY luck to come across a black dial model with pearly white dial markers.Thanks for the observations ,but these are ALREADY WELL KNOWN FLAWS and widely discussed on the forum . Firstly the yellowish dial markers, it is up to the buyer to check for this during QC , you can get them with the correct pearly white dial markers .Secondly the long crown/short crown guards is the MAJOR flaw on the VSF SM300 EVERYBODY on here knows about it . That it is why the watch is FIRST CLASS and not a SUPER REP .As you say it is a dead giveaway IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR .However 99.9% of people DON'T KNOW what to look for , even people who know the watch might not know what to look for , and therefore not notice without the gen as comparison and looking. This particular watch was used by two well known large YouTube watch channels to show how GOOD replica watches had got ( both used grey dial version).One was by a large gen watch seller who even did a gen/rep comparison , obviously they discussed the flaws (mostly under macro ) , but funnily enough didn't notice the crown guards . It is an excellent GEN LIKE replica , regards not being on the list ALL THE WATCHES on this list have flaws if you know what to look for, even those right at the top . It is after all a $400 replica of a $5800 luxury watch , and if you have worn /handled the genuine youshould appreciate how good it is .
I am looking to have a watchsmith trim the crown stem to reserve the height of the crown as much as possible. I guess I’ll just learn to live with the yellow tinge lume unless I magically come across a gen replacement dial for sale. I really do love this watch it is just that these two defects really big me.
The Omega AT all n the other hand is perfection and I cannot spot one single flaw!
