Omega 8500 super clone is here

[Therion666]

I can confirm that the TM is still there on the latest batch...

The other thing that's still there is that crap on the end of the second hand. My eyes may be playing tricks, so I'd like your opinions, I'm not sure anymore.



So what's the verdict?

Thanks mate! Is your second hand also corrected?

it looks corrected based on the QC but the rounded lollipop seconds hand appears slightly flat instead of a full circle.will need to confirm this once i get the watch

I'm Trusty, too. Secondhand is fixed, bezel, and can't tell on clasp but likely fixed.

 

[Therion666]

OK, thanks fellas!

There's something you don't see everyday... a $13,000 watch on overstock.com.

12773€ for a 6500€ RPP Omega Spectre !

It seams your dealer is trying to sell you one of the first batch rejected by someone else. Who is the dealer ?

 

[Therion666]

I don't think he's trying anything on purpose, I doubt that dealers know every little detail on dozens of reps they're selling. I'm getting another one.

Had the same impression, that they are trying to offload an older version.

 

[GreenGrocer]

Here is the QC I approved from Chazing 10 days ago. I was under the impression that lolipop hand issue was solved. At the same time there is TM on the clasp so not sure what to think now?

 

[Xman]

Just a note for the record, mine from the first batch does not have the lollipop issue, and it was from the first day release. So its a case by case issue, not a batch issue.

 

[fabbe79]

I suppose components such as bracelets are sourced and can have batch variations as well.

Would be good to keep posting pics of latest received watches to understand what we are currently dealing with.
It would help me as I am ready to pull the trigger on this one (on Nato).

@kobe24

Could please share if you hear any hint that there will be a non-Spectre version replica of this model from VSF with the recent super clone movement?

I would like to buy this watch but the James Bond 007 Spectre engraving on the bracelet is a deal breaker for me. I understand that many people or someone will prefer the James Bond 007 engraving on the bracelet as a special edition but at least for me, the engraving is too much and somewhat childish marketing gimmick.

Agreed on the bracelet. To each their own, but I have no interest in having 007 engraved on my watch(es).

I'm happy to wait a little longer for either V6F or MKS to release a non-Spectre version, but if there isn't any news of that being in the pipeline I might have to buckle under the pressure and get the MKS.

With the non-spectre you wont have the 12h bezel, and for me it's a better function than a diving bezel.

I don't think I've ever used a bezel in my life. But predominantly it's that I'm not a fan of the lollipop.

 

[The Rod]

The one I received yesterday has no lollipop second hand issue but still has the Tm on the clasp. Not sure about the bezel as I don't have a gen to compare with.

My thoughts are that when it went out of stock in mid-july VSF had only finished stuff like hands / dial / case, and still had some leftover stock of bracelets and maybe bezels, therefore there might be some of the second batch retaining a few of the flaws of the first but not all.

This makes sense as MOQ often vary depending on the component.

Regarding the bezel maybe someone could try to measure the one they believe is larger, in mine the steel portion is 1mm wide
