Sadly have to agree with you. As this Was my First purchase, i tried to Check for everything, however this issue slipped trough unfortunately.
I would appreciate if you could inform me about the easy fix or send a link where i can find it myself (have looked trough this topic, but could not find anything specific.

For me, it was very hard to tell in the QC pictures. Barely noticeable until seeing it in person.
Well, I was planning on ordering 2 of these watches. One for the NATO strap & one for the mesh.
if I order another one and I see that the bezel is misaligned during QC, how does the process work? Do I just tell Andrew that I don’t like how it looks & they find a different one?

So, I finally got mine! I love it, but I noticed something upon delivery that I didn’t notice in the QC photos. The bezel markers are misaligned with the outer rim of the bezel. It’s very, very subtle, but has anyone else experienced this issue at all?
I heard that it is pretty common with the vsf omegas, no biggie usually its not such an eyesore, you could get a watchsmith to readjust your bezel if it bothers you

Yes, just mention the flaw to andrew and tell him you would like another piece and he would sort it out for you
Ok, thank you. Wasn’t sure how that all works, as I haven’t ordered too many watches from Trusty yet.
I assume people see issues during QC more often than not.

If it is only a bit misaligned, line the scalloped edge up and use a hair dryer to loosen the glue of the adhesive strip that holds the insert. With enough heat you should be able to move it. I cover the bezel dot when doing this. Wear gloves, as it will get hot and gloves also give you a better grip on the insert. I turn against the direction the bezel assembly naturally rotates. Hold it in place as it's drying - unless you get a good break from the adhesion it will want to spring right back. If this doesn't work there are other methods to remove the insert but you'll need to procure a new bezel sticker ring.

Kinda flattered that you think its a genuine, but no, its a V2 rep
And having handled the gen, to answer your question, no, its not worth the price. It looks great and all, but even with the titanium case and mesh, I don't think the gen is worth the retail price. I'm all for gen but its too expensive for what it is and what you get with it.
Agreed. It was by the window with the sun shining indirectly through and thought it looked perfect, so I snapped a picture.

To be 100% honest i can hardly tell the difference between V2, V3, V4, and this latest issue i need to zoom the screen, only thing that would really upset me would be anything loose or noise. I mean for £400 when the actual watch is 7k. As for paying for the genuine article, suppose for me if I had that money to spend, how much would it hold it's value or increase? 8 years ago i brought 2nd hand for 2k Casino Royale Planet Ocean, stunning watch, it's now worth 4k, So if you can sell and get your money back or make money if you have a rainy day, sort of makes sense to me. 15 years back 40th Anniversary for 1k, now worth 3k but for me this model is dropping in price 2nd hand, and now the film rumoured to be put back to October, who knows where the value will go

Thank you for this!
Will wear the watch for a couple of months and then try out this method when the misalignment pisses me off enough to actually try it.

When I was buying it 9 months ago, the misalignment was the first thing I noticed when I was checking my QC pics.

The misalignment here looks just like the one on mine. Did they find you a better replacement?

Of course they did. The replacement is the one I've been wearing for the past 9 months
Ain’t the film out soon?
Might find that the factory miraculously drops a Ti mesh bracelet just in time for the film.
Lovely watch, just a couple of things that irritate my eyes when inspecting these on my wrist in real life (I’ve had all versions):
1. Crystal seems polarising. Causes the dial to look a bit dull. It just doesn’t “pop” as much as i would like.
2. Mismatching bracelet colour is distracting to my eyes.
They’re small details that only I see on my watch.
If they sort the bracelet, I could live with the dull crystal. Might try to get a Swiss sapphire with single AR. See if that helps make the dial look more pretty (less dull).
