Bezel font looks normal as well. Hopefully it’s a good sign.

For all of us Omega fanboys here (stuff PC crap, its fanboys, not some gender fluid rubbish), one is a gen and the other is ORF....

If they can do the same improvements on the NTTD, they are gonna sell tens of thousands of it.

I will do it either tomorrow or weekend when I find time. No issue. Glad to help.

jpchub here is a quick photo with my phone for now. Gen below.


thank you. sorry about this, but I actually meant from face on. sorry I should have been clearer about it. basically want to see how far the CG go out, as well as the relation of the crown to the CGs. VSF's CG was a bit small and the crown protruded a bit too much.

Hope this helps. I am not known for my photo skills...

Maybe it's the angle but the crown guard look short like a vsf case. My blue orf definitely is a lot longer

Not my pics but it would appear that the latest batch of blue ORF’s have improved colour.
How ever you play with the lighting this has much richer blue colouring than the early dark ones.

they also toned down the red in “Seamaster”

that looks fantastic.

What's the current status of the white dial? Is it still transparent like?

This is really a nitpick....just pointing it out. The bezel numbers look fatter on the orf. Close enough for me honestly...this looks really good. Cgs look same on the black as the blue to my eyes.

Btw.... is the glare on the black crystal just the angle? Or is it that bad compared to the gen?
