Yes but in the end is cheaper and safer than the clone version.. let’s wait a 1-1 comparison!

mkf version look better than vsf-v6f

vsf has really bad looking bracelet - same as on old v6f

mkf bracelet look like as a gen bracelet with all tags.

vsf clasp use same clasp as v6f with tm under gun.

on mkf and gen isnt tm on clasp. sels are better on mkf

vsf bezel ring look smaller than gen, mkf has correct size.

vsf has more gen movement, but less stable than aeta mkf.


which watch you hand on?

Don't like the lume filling in mk

Yes, VSF has the correct cut-out/sandwich construction, there is not enough depth on the MKF dial. Main flaws of VSF are on bracelet, one can always buy the Nato now and wait for an update of the bracelet later

main flaws are ring on the bezel - it is smaller than gen, next is bracelet and clasp. for me is vsf as old v6f with updated movement and crown...

You sure the differences ain’t due to different shadows? MK “ring”’don’t like right either.

LaPavel Great eye!

The 007 marking on the clasp is also more bothersome than I'd imagine. Once seen can't be unseen.

No, it's not, look at this macro of the gen:

Omega_Seamaster_300_SPECTRE_James_Bond_watch_8.jpg

Yes, that pic clearly shows the lume is filled. It isn't sandwiched. I've also seen and handled the gen in person. I've looked at it up close a few times. It's definitely not sandwiched. There is also a review I read of the watch that mentioned that the lume is filled into the cutout hour markers for the gen, it isn't sandwiched like on the previous V6F replicas of the watch. It's the biggest tell if the watch is seen side by side with a gen.

Here is a macro pic of my V6F Spectre V1 with the sandwiched dial. The difference is obvious when seen with the gen. Glad they got the dial to look right on these new ones...

I've just ordered the VSF, but I'm hoping they release the standard version of the watch (i.e. not the Bond one)

Never been a big fan of the 007 logos on the watch and strap

It's actually the most subtle out of all the 007 limited edition models from Omega. There is no visible 007 logo on the dial, only the caseback. And the 007 logo on the nato strap isn't really obvious. What makes the Spectre model special is the lollipop hand which the regular one doesn't have.
