Believe me, they do match-up on the Gems, "Omega new system of locking the case back to ensure that all the engravings on the rear of the watch stay oriented correctly – they call it a ceramic Naiad locking system -basically it's for a locking system for a screw-down case back that allows you to orient decorative elements on the case back, such as engravings, in proper alignment without having to match a given case back to a given case. The word "naiad" comes from the Greek and refers to mythological water spirits."

Good afternoon guys,
just 2 points for everyone's consideration:
i) this is a good reading why buying "VSF" backdoor or without the green may backfire on you - [NUKED] VSF 116610LN
ii) if you purchase from "King of All Reps" (or any other seller who is not TD here) simply goes south - you are on your own, do not come here for any support, do not post your moanings. Just don't.
Thanks

Can anyone verify if this is VSF and if so V2/3? Thanks guys
To my eye this is likely a v2 as per the bezel numbers are slightly smaller.
Also re the caseback. It has 3 points where it can be inserted and twisted into place. only one of those means it lines up, the other 2 are off. The caseback on a vsf can be taken off by hand in most cases. It’s just a case wolf twisting it to the right, re aligning its entry point and twisting to the right so it now lines up.
Hope that helps.

Hey mate thanks for the tip. I sent it to a watchsmith and he managed to line it up. Can’t wait to collect it next week. Just missing a V3 bracelet right now. Really hope to find one

I got this direct from the Godfather himself. He told me that he doesn’t deal with small potatoes like Angus.

This is a vsf, not sure if v2 or v3, but you can see that with the niadlock in the correct slots it lines up correctly, and even looking at the image of the misaligned one you can see it is perfectly 120deg out of position so will go back into alignement no problem.

oops didn't mean to post that, most of them are there temporarily as i am getting a new case for chrimbo, and i've already given my old case to a fellow watch lover, and it may look like chaos but they were placed gently and are not being shaken about etc, i've removed it now so as not not cause any more pain to my fellow horology brethren

I have the bracelet but the mismatch in tone between the case and bracelet looks wrong to my eyes (I’m not trying to convince others, it just doesn’t scream perfection to me).
I might try and experiment with trying to darken the bracelet with sandblasting. No idea if it’ll work..will probably end up ruining it.
Send it to me ???????? on the other hand, was wondering if anyone sort of spray painted it or something. Yeah the Color difference is quite obvious.
I acquired the Heimdallr "homage" version of this watch (which might just be produced by one of our dear rep factories but that's another story), and I too am bothered by the tone difference between the bracelet and case...
I was looking at ways to DIY a sandblasted finish and came up with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cmTx1fmXFU
I'm not sure if steel is soft enough to effectively show the sand impacts though. Gonna give this a try when I'm back home in a week or so!

Yeah, that video was pretty good. The contrast shown of the ring really surprised me. I'd be very interested to see how things turn out with your experiment.
