New release: Aqua Terra with 8400 clone movement

Hoping for that blue gen vs rep comparison. All the previous reps have been off in colour and sunburst effect.

Here’s a good general guide on reading timegrapher results:

https://rwg.cc/topic/143934-how-to-r...apher-results/

Also keep in mind, that the timegrapher results that you receive, aren’t necessarily a true indication of how the watch will perform on the wrist - they’re still useful though to rule out a bad one.

Thanks very much for the useful link. Do you think the Balance Wheel Amplitude: 236 degree is too low? Would you accept this rep with AMP 236 degree? or Will you reject it even if the other factors are good and the problem is only the 236 degree amplitude? (the 236 degree is lower than the acceptable range 250-270 degree according to the link). Anyone opinion please?

I would like to see two gen pics side by side and see the differences in screen resolution an magnification...all the comparison between gen and rep are pictures taken from different lighting conditions and resolution and will show up with differences which is natural.

Just look at chrono24 for difference in the same watches!

I agree. But in this case, the yellow is really a tad brighter. I saw many different pics and videos. Anyway, it's negligible.

After seeing the video of the blue rep repeatedly and having the gen in hand, I must say that they got the blue colour on the rep right this time. Its spot on. Even the teak pattern looks perfect and not too deep like on the previous reps.

Where can I find this video?????

I might sell my 38.5mm Blue dial to fund this new version.

See post 28, 33 for the videos

Thanks for the video links, after analysing the video it seems the blue is still off. It's got a really dark blackish, blue/purple hue to it.
The gen has a blue and slight green hue to it in different lighting conditions. I guess we will need to see side by side comparisons.

Couldn't really tell in the video if the indices have the sloping down design like the gen. Need some lume shots too.

However everything else seems to be spot on, from teak style, sunburst effect, movement, hands, date, logo text, date wheel/window, overall finishing.

Green hue? I have yet to see any green hue on my gen AT....

Ahh alright, if you were based here, I would have bought the VSF AT blue dial and sent it to you for a comparison with your Gen.

Such a pity. That would've been great.

Just about to pull the trigger on the white dial and am looking to get a gen brown leather strap as well, not sure if the gen clasp is worth it though - how good is the rep one?

Here is another video I just did of my gen blue AT. I still don't see any green hue that you mentioned. I've had the watch for over a year now so I would definitely notice if there was a green hue anywhere on the watch. It's all blue... Navy blue perhaps with a nice sunburst to it. The rep got it really really close imo. It's gonna be very difficult now to tell them apart.

Yours is light blue, quite has a grey shade, the rep blue is still too dark

When someone makes side to side comparison then we can talk about it, until then I wouldn't judge anything based on pictures or videos from TDs.
As you can see in this thread, my rep AT is pretty close to gen regarding dial color, and it's an older rep.

 

[merowinger]

The lighting is key. Pretty sure the blue rep is damn close.

Gen is 13.2 thickness. AT wears big - see if you can try a gen before you order.

some Q.C. video shows that this new VSF version has 13.3mm thickness. Gen is 13.2mm on the spec

 

[vcappp]

I’m genuinely interested in this watch. I’ve never tried one on, 41.5 and 13.5 is a little big but not bad.

gen 41.5mm and 13.2mm. this VSF 41.5mm and 13.3mm

Who cares about some small numbers on the backside/bracelet that nobody can see, unless you want to sell it as a gen.
I'm gonna wait, maybe they will release even more colours...(bi-colour with brown dial please), but the 15'000 gauss is tempting... and a fair price too.

I visited to Omega store to check the engravings on the clasp. JJF ad 62 is fine. one Gen AT has HJF and 11 the other Gen AT has JDD and 62. Some Gen At has only 62 not such JDD thing. so it is all different depending on the time that produced.
