New ORF SMPc 300m A8800 released today

[Replisimio]

The white dial has darkened hands and rings which are not completely black, more an anthracite colour but they are polished so appear different as they catch the light.

Gents -

Please stop comparing ANYTHING to these pics - this is not a real watch! It's all CGI.
Notice how every single photo is at the same angle, with the same exact lighting? Notice how every little bit of polished or brushed stainless is a perfect neutral gray? NOT REAL.

Go on Chrono24.com or some such site with REAL pics of REAL watches, and compare from there. You will have a better result.

I wish others would realise this, I worked in a studio that did 3D imaging and what people don’t realise that 95% of images used in advertising whether it’s online, printed media or even on tv are cgi,

I disagree. It’s all to do with white balance. I’ve seen videos of this blue one and it’s fine. Many pics of the gen are dark too, this being an example below. We will know when it arrives for sure but I have no issue with it to be honest.

I agree about the lighting. But the last pic looks like there is a bit of a purple hue to it. Could also just be my phone screen. Li does have brighter lighting on his pics, so I would imagine it would rather appear lighter than darker. But one would only be ably to tell in hand of course

I have a black dial one the way from Andrew. The white markers are a major plus for me. The dial looks a little bit crooked (counter-clockwise) but it's hard to tell from my QC pictures

Who is Li and who is Andrew? Are there any shops aside from Trustytime where I can buy ORF Seamaster?

Trustytime is just one of the many TDs. Here's the list of TDs.

Li is with Jtime, they don't have the ORF listed on the website but it can be purchased from him. I contacted him via whatsapp and made my purchase.

 

[Replisimio]

All dealers can get this watch but Jtime are up there with the best. Probably wouldn’t deal with trusty again personally as I’m having a problem with him on an order received a couple of weeks ago and he is dragging his feet with it!

Yes it would. I chose to buy trusty’s $308 version before ORF release as it shared the same case and bracelet and dial which are much better overall than vsf, especially the bracelet but the vsf bezel scallops are deeper and closer to gen than orf. Also the cheaper one had a poorer ar crystal so I’ve swapped in a vsf crystal and bezel assembly. It also came with the blackened hands from the white dial version(my fault and trusty’s awful qc pic quality!) getting Andrew to understand this is proving difficult to send me the correct hand set! In the meantime I’ve fitted some vsf hands but they were damaged during a failed relume! Here is a pic

How is the bezel action and overall feel? play? looseness? Does it feature that "triple clicking"?

 

[guill]

Very interested if the indices/lume is white and not yellowish like with VSF's.

 

[Dub_2006]

Yellow lume is not so obvious for reveal rep vs gen as small crown guard and no screw on the back of the watch accuracy regulator

 

[angrynewb]

Here are some QC pics from the white dial.

 

[Replisimio]

Something looks very odd with the white dial version.
Here is my blue Qc approved already of course.
Also seen that Sead has both blue and black in the U.K. to buy.

The white dial looks just like VSF - same wrong pinky-orange for the "Seamaster" script. The lume looks yellow in all three examples. I had hoped for better.

 

[angrynewb]

It looks to me that the black and blue version font is maybe more bold and thicker than that of the white dial. The red seamaster font is much lighter also.
