Hopefully but they have to get the bezel engravings smooth like gen. OMF messed that up!

How scratch resistant have people found the bezel on v1 & 2 of the 300?

I will try. If it is still unclear I can try to add a photo as well.
My English has it's shortcomings, especially when it comes to the richness of words.

As you can see, the extension is composed by two main parts: a bridge-like part connecting to the bracelet, and its link-like counterpart connecting to the clasp. The two part's are then connected together with a small rod or pin.

In order to get that satisfying 'click' that holds the extension folded into place, there is a notch on each outside of the bridge-like part, and a corresponding groove on the inside of the other part.

I used a plier and tightened the small rod holding the parts together.
You can also try to widen the thin gap in the bridge-like part.

Both methods aim to get the notches hold on better to the grooves I mentioned earlier.

I hope that clarifies a bit.

Kin regards

If you can show a pic or two of what you did I’d be grateful. It’s becoming a bit annoying as it’s pretty loose now.

Ok.
So here are some pics of the divers extension and what I did to tighten it.

First, fasten the pin. Gently and only the pin.

Widen the gap.

Here are the slots and bumps that should hook into each other.

Hi Guys I have a question which might be answered already in some threads but I am still making my way through them so excuse me if I might be repeating a question.

I just saw that there is a V2 of the Ceramic/Titanium Version? Is it a new release?

I am asking because the Ceramic rep V1 was released even after the 2018 V2 releases.

V1:

It's a shameless cash grab, it is the same watch with a different strap. You should go with the one that includes the NATO strap.

seems that there is actually a difference:

I would say the movement of the v2 is a bit different. There is a better omega engraving and the red colour seems a little better.

This comparison is from the pics on PT: https://imgur.com/a/ouSOpyS


Same watch

V1 is having it but not in such a quality.
So it could be only different quality photos on PT. Lets see what you guys think about it.

It looks like the crown guards are still really small. Almost not there on the pic.
