I've had my black/white Ultimate lite for a little while now, but due to a stripped crown tube and my reluctance to send such an inexpensive watch back to China, Andrew offered to send me a new one at a discounted price. I chose the Pumpkin version this time, and it arrived this morning. I had it sized, and now that its been on my wrist for a few hours, I've noticed some nice improvements over my black bezeled version.
• First the build quality seems much better. Everything is straight as it should be. Aside from the pearl lens being slightly askew (I can only see it with a loupe), its perfect.
• The crown screws down very smoothly, and actually feels solid. Don't know if this is an improvement, or due to the fact that my black watch was defective.
• The crown itself is nicer. The teeth are sharp, and the edges are crisp. Feels and looks much better.
• The Omega logo is flatter, and looks much closer to the gen. The black one has a rounded top to it, and because of this the reflected light made it look thinner than the genuine. Still has feet however.
• The AR on the crystal is now the proper color (deep blue). Its still one sided but its noticeably darker. The crystal itself is also slightly thicker.
(hard to photograph, but the black watch reflects light blue, the orange one reflects a blueish purple
• The clasp is much tighter, especially between the first link and the clasp. No gaps whatsoever.
These are all minor changes, but overall the quality of this watch is far superior!
