I am like one step to trigger one of 8500s.
The only thing stops me is a colour, cannot deicde which i like more. Are you able to tell me which of those has got flaws because of a colour? Normally, safer way is to have a blacl one, but this blue is just lovely...

Go for the blue dial!
This blue dial reflects light in sunlight amazingly.

The blue is not even available AFAIK. At least that was the case about 10 days ago.

For me the same problem. I asked every Dealer for the Blue one but it is out of stock. i heard they made only 100 of each colour and at the moment they produce new ones

So are the 12 markers straight on all these examples people are receiving? Omega reps are notorious in the past for misaligned 12 - especially the Noob LMPO.

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.
sev217 could you please share photo of the rear side of both?

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






I want to buy a watch and can't decide between your first Aqua Terra or your last 007 James Bond.
What do you like more? Which one is better in quality ?

I have a 7.5” wrist. The Aqua Terra GMT’s bracelet is a little loose fit unless I remove another link.
The last 007 is easy to fit but the nylon is a little stiff. It may very well get better as I break it in.
There all accurate to within 10 seconds a day. The dials on all 4 can change appearance with light and angle changes.
The standard AT bracelet is a closer fit than the GMT’s although I’m not sure why because there the same size.
I like them all.

Thank you for the reply
Actually I'm considering the James Bond vs the Aqua Terra blue with Silver hands.
Anyway, it's going to be my first ever rep and i saw it on various TDs..
where should I purchase it from?

That pic of the VSF version seems to be the latest version with the "corrected" bezel, and more importantly, has the Omega 8500 "super clone" movement inside.

I now also understand where the scratches on the inside of the lugs are coming from (as shown on the examples presented to me by Intime).

I suspect the watch is produced by VSF with the watch band attached. And as I ordered the watch with the Nato band only, someone in the factory switches the metal band for a Nato, and it the process scratches up the watch.

As the shown scratches are right in the place where on the watch band has the small metal clips protrude over the lugs (hope its clear what I mean), removing the watchband by a noob will probably lead to these scratched-up lugs.

This means for me to have a unscratched VSF I will have to order one with the metal band and the Nato (+$20) and then later do the switch myself.....

Thanks for posting this pic.
