So right now remaining problems are:
- tm on clasp
- dial not grainy enough - lumes not filled in enough
- bezel ring too small?

I ll keep waitig - bisually this still looks just like my 2.5 v6f (whose second hand actually sweeps more like the gen at 21,500)

Hey Guys, I just got QC pics for my order and I have rejected due to the bezel alignment. Just thought i would share this as something to look out for when ordering the new PO Clones :) The markers a not straight. The one at 3 o'clock is perfect. I think the Omega symbol is not straight either.

If you do this, you will be rejecting every single one they throw at you

The shot of the watch is not dead centre, so the misalignment of the 12 and 6 o'clock markers that you see is from the slight deviation in angle. That's why you see both of them slightly crooked. If you can ask for another shot, I think you will be able to see better. All the best

Thank you.

Didn’t mean to be be a sour first post everyone haha but if it was the first thing I noticed in the picture then I think it’s just abit too out of line.

I’ll upload another pic and let me know what you all think.

Better shot. The markers looks properly set and aligned. Refer to the marker lines beside the luminous markers, both sides, and you'll notice that it sits center and straight. Looks like a good copy. But you can wait a little for the comments of other members as well. Don't forget to ask your seller for a Timegrapher test result

Thanks everyone. Feeling bad now as I had already rejected prior posting but I’ll consider for the next one.

I will post more as soon as I get the watch and new QC’s :)
