Well i missed the QC photos email, and there it says if no answer in 24h we will take it as "ok to ship" so it is my fault. The damn QC mail was in "junk" folder while the shipped mail was in the normal folder.

You are not in the right frame of mind to even comprehend this hobby. Don't take that as slight, many new guys have this same MO. But it's the wrong way to think about it.
They do have $99 dollar Rolex's that are good enough. They have 400.00 Rolex's that are still good enough, if not better. They also have Gen Rolex's that are almost flawless. See where I am headed with this?
This watch, is Sapphire, hi beat Swiss copy, super lumed. Looks the part. It'll probably go for 3-4 years without a service and you can probably go swimming with it too, just like the gen.
If you want to go and slap around the factory worker that put this together, be my guest if you can find them.. They are probably in another building making another watch and trying to make as many as they can for their daily quota.
You can bitch all you want about flaws on replica but it won't change a thing. Meanwhile, I will have owned this rep or two versions of it and moved on to another rep or the gen of this watch. That is what this hobby is all about my friend. Chin up and smile brother.
I don't know how you take your hobby, but defending clearly fundamentally flawed products (being a replica doesn't mean anything) is just plain silly.
I perfectly understand if the replica has a wrongly aligned lume dot in a triangle on all models or the Omega logo has happy feet on all of them or the font on the case back isn't exactly the same on all of them. That's a tax on replicas. But that's one thing, where overall random and poor quality control, that's a very another thing.
For example if i buy Orient Mako, i can expect movement to be in perfect condition in every single watch. At a 3 times lower price than these Omega replicas. Can you assure me the same for all the Asian ETA clones that can be badly contaminated, completely dry, over-lubricated or god knows what else. No QC image can tell you that and since these watches basically have no warranty, it's a very bad way to do business. And servicing a newly bought product just because you can't be sure if someone did a proper job, well that's just dumb. I'm not that of a brand snob that i need to flash around with an Omega badged product just because of that logo and defend someones laziness just because it's a replica.

It will be fixed in time, don't let this incident put you off replicas, admittedly it is a disappointing episode which has marred the release of what looks like a superrep in all other aspects. Wait it out for now, demand will eventually improve the dial to passable quality.
Here is an example of another superrep which suffered from serious fcuk ups in lume application last xmas, it went on for a while and it took a few months to get this back up to the standard of the rest of the watch. Check the newer 4.+ versions now in comparison.

Again, you're looking at it the wrong way.
1. Everyone here wants a replica. If you want a mako or Seiko or Orient or homage/sterile instead then you're in the wrong place.
2. Every replica dealer and factory in the entire world is dishonest. Seriously.
3. Every replica watch is worse than the original. No exceptions.
4. This forum is helping people find the least dishonest dealers with the least crappy watches. Don't forget how I worded it just because dealers are "trusted" and replicas are "super".
5. Repeat point #4 a few times.
If you still want to complain about replica quality compared to genuine, reread points 1-5 at least a thousand times.

Hahaha. ×100. If this is really a hobby you will understand that buying the watch with imperfections is OK because half the fun is modding and improving the watch to hey rid of the imperfections. We want yo make our own perfection!

Exactly. Reznor coming on here saying he isn't a brand snob and doesn't care about having an omega logo is like going in a titty bar looking for c@ck.

Well my watch arrived, and i dont know what to think of it. If you observe the watch close you see the fails. Right now this watch Will not get so much wrist time

yes thats right the lume on the 6, the dateweel the lume on 9 and the lume on 12 has kind of bubbles under it and the croocked omega logo BUT in overall the watch is solid. Good weight and looks good when you wear it. But if you get close on it you Will see the "fails". Going to open it up maybe when i come home and inspect closer.
