Finally! It may be a gamechanger for the decent Omega replica.

puretime Angus, what is the business model, are you going to sell movement solo? or V6F will introduce the full updated watch?

I have one pcs hand on. Time working accuracy more better than P9000, about 3 second /day.

Can you share the size of the clone? and the mounting points?
Wondering is it interchangeable with 2824/2836.

I think it looks good, but I am worried about reliability, spare parts and service.

I don’t believe it’s actually a co-axial movement because the co-axial is 25200bph and this is 28800bph. So what is it then? So many questions...

Although, if the movement is good it will be a great improvement to the Omega reps.

2 real barrel, I can sure it is clone, not 2824/2836. cannot exchange.

why you want to Interchange with 2824?

I prefer Noob Crpo over the V6F Crpo, so was curious about the potential swap it into Noob:)
Do you know does the 2nd barrel work as per gen?
Could you take some decent photos of the balance?

I am not into Omega's but hell - this is a nice step forward - technically and of course visually for all see-through case backs

Sorry for stupid question...is the (seemingly minimal) difference in BPH visible to the naked eye?

Can we also get the black balance wheel to be branded Omega as well (would be the final cherry on top )! That to me s the only big tell left in the see through case back right now

He means "Si14" and "Omega" decoration on the balance wheel.

That's a good idea, but as per these poor photos I am afraid there is a balance regulator, so extra deco ain't gonna make is like a gen free sprung balance.

This rep movement looks sharp, balance is in the correct position, moreover a diameter of the wheel looks correct, the decoration of the top plate is top notch!
Once we go deeper, it does not look like 1:1 clone.

Still, that's the best rep omega movement so far and I can't wait for the full watch.
