Are you finding any flaws on orange PO and dark AT?

No super huge tells, but I accidentally let an off-center pearl slip on my orange PO.

On the AT, I found that the case around the crown is slightly different in dimensions. The white AT is dead like genuine, the blue one is ever so SLIGHTLY different. Nothing noticeable to a normal human being.

These watches are just fantastic.

Hello everyone,

my VSF Spectre have now arived and i took some photos VSF vs. GEN for you.
im really busy at the Moment, so no super Quality. but i try to take some more at the weekend.

If you have qustions or Special requests let me know ;)

HQ pics via link:

the strap is really nice Quality, ist a tad smaller then the gen and the two Grey Stripes are slightly a shade lighter, but not noticeable when wearing it.
extreme good Quality for the few bucks. only theing that is not so will executed are the Edge smoothening on the metal, ist a bit sharp as you can see in the Picture.

Quality so far is very good. the bezel ring is now the correct size and the TM is gone.
i have to inspect the metal bracelet a bit Closer but it seems of good crafting Quality.

what i can say so far is that the grain on the dial is like the V6F v2.5
but it really depends on the lighting if you can spot a difference. And like on the
V6F the area betw
een the lugs is polished not brushed.

Thank you for the comparison. The only downside o see from the VSF model is its bezel markers. Darn thing is barely visible with low lighting.

The super clones so far. All are running great. Good rate, good amplitude.
I’m a fan






great photos. Could you please let me know if the side surfaces of the mid links is plated as rose gold on the rose gold two tone AT GMT’s bracelet? or does the side surfaces of the mid links show the bare naked steel color?

It probably isn’t but you can’t see it. At least I can’t.

Thanks for sharing. I notice the font of "5" is not the same as Gen. Previous version has the corrected font.

Thanks for the comparative Images..

As far as I can make out only the dial is microscopically different.

Enjoy the watch.

sev217 Did you buy your Spectre from Trusty or another TD? I need to know if he's still the only TD who can get the clasp with no TM on it.

Therion666 Yep, ist from trusty

fujisan good spot! thats so weired… they did it wrong with the V6F v.1 Version and got it Right with v2.5.... now wrong again :p

Rufctr2 the springbars on the gen and VSF are curved, but my VSF Version came with the steel braclet mounted, so no curved springbars where included. i got me a pair of genue Omega spare ones at my nearest Omega Boutique

Poonfluff yeah they are like printed, the gen ones are like carved in very slightly and have some sparkling effect like the dial…. but ist only noticeable if you get really really close in my opinion.

even there are still things wrong like the missing dial texture, the polished area between the lugs (wich you never see while wearing it), the 5 and the slightly off bracelet links in my opinion are totally compensated by the new movement, which is freaking awesome so far.
i wore it the whole day on the metal bracelet and it really gives a gen Feeling and till now +-0 sec.

Overall am very satisfied… bezel is crisp so like krishna05 said, i will enjoy the watch a lot.
The movement Blows me away and is such a big improvement…. no noisy rotor and yeah, there are minor Things off too, but its a giant leap Forward in reproduction

sev217 Thanks mate! It seems that he's the only one with the correct clasp. But I'm not paying 70$ for triangle shipping, this is where I draw the line..I'll just wait for it to become available elsewhere. I also talked to Sead and he says that VSF has 0 stock :(
