MKF Spectre

Hour markers should be more fuzzy. MK markers look smooth at wrist distance.
Here’s vsf (fuzzy markers):
Even at wrist distance VSF markers have fuzzy outline.
MK markers have more crisp outline at wrist distance.
Of course we need some real life MK pictures before we can pass judgement on how good it it. So far it looks bad to me (at wrist distance)

A 'perfect' super rep would be VSF dial and movement in MKS case and bracelet (if everything fit) ....

Seems even with the super clone in the VSF, they just can't get it right in certain areas of the watch. Such a waste. MKS looks ok but it still has its flaws. My V6F miyota still works well after almost 3 years, so i will just stick with that.
I will wait for either factory to do one with the red hour markers like in the movie right before it blew up.. Hahahaha

Has anyone dissected the new VSF movement? Im a hairline away from pulling the trigger on either one.
Me too, I want to pull the trigger. I must have missed something, what do people think makes the MKS case better?

MKS has the thicker inner bezel silver ring. Thus it's very close to how it looks on the gen. But it doesn't have the clone movement and it has "jewels" mispelled on the visible movement.
Best options seems to me, is buy the VSF, and ask the TD if they can supply an MKS bezel
I dont, but I thought if a TD could supply one, it would be worth a go.
I emailed my TD, and he said they couldn't supply the bezels on their own, so I might try a couple of other TD's. Otherwise, its that idea out of the window!!!
Or just get both watches and try to swap parts across.

Yeah - if I cant get a bezel on its own, I may do this at some point - although to be honest, I am not losing any sleep over it, and if it hadnt been pointed out on here, I would have probably never noticed!
I have a whole list of reps I want before worrying about this

Is the MKS movement a decorated movement with glued on parts like from before with the miyotas or is it an actual functioning movement like the VSF?

Hey guys, after reading all the 8 pages in this thread I just want to way in here.
I was really hoping there is a super rep with clone movement and perfect appearance on the outside.
To be honest I only have the old V6F Spectre and luckily got the correct Gen 007 Nato Strap.
On the wrist, a lot of colleagues who have gen watches themselves, congratulated me for this beauty but they all said: "that strap is not original, isn't it!?"
Remember this is the only gen part on the watch!
Just what I want to say, we all here know the flaws, do comparisons under magnification and talk months about fuzzy markers and different shades of white on the printing. But in the end, the people we meet, they first don't bother and second don't realize about those little flaws.
I never wore the bracelet on this watch, so it is no big deal for me beeing off in comparison to gen.
But whether you go with MK or VF or whatever it is a matter of what you like and what flaw you can live with.
Everyone I have told this is a rep, they hardly believed.
I wish you all a happy and great time with your SM300 Spectre, as this is a great looking watch for all occasions.

Well said. I too have the V6F Spectre.. Mine is the V1. I have it on the gen nato strap too! The watch is almost 3 years old now. Still works fine so i see no reason to get the new ones. I don't need two of the same watch.
In fact, i'm wearing it right now at work!
