Omega 8500 super clone is here

[vcappp]

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 clibs protrude over the lugs (hope its clear what I mean), removing the watchband by a noob will probably lead to these scratch-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.

it seems like that . . it makes a sense

Any reason why I couldn’t swap the Miyota 8215 movement in my TiPO for one of these?

What do you think about new dial ?

(Left : VSF New dial vs Right : Gen.)

If this is real then it would be awesome.

Seems reasonable. I ordered mine with the bracelet (Nato as add-on) and it came in perfect condition, no scratches whatsoever

Relative newbie looking for help on QC pics before accepting for shipment. Bezel looks off line? or just angle of pics? Thanks

kobe24 do you know if VSF have any plans to release the 45mm orange bezel version PO with the 8500 movement?

They must make the orange one, only need to change a bezel, but have no idea when release.

Ideally, I'd like them to make the 2500 caliber model, but can't see that happening

 

[packerjames95]

Any confirmation on whether the dial texture has been updated?

Do you have any idea if VSF currently produce new Aqua Terras in blue? Its everytime sold out. :/

Is there a physical place in China to get these?

Not a 8500 Superclone at all but a well decorated hybrid 2836 movement. No co-axial escapement, no silicon balance wheel, auto works straight off a 2836.
Dont be fooled by the improved decoration.

I asked PT about the updated Spectre. The support team send me this night some recent QC pictures. The long awaited Spectre is finally here !

I hope it's not QC from a member of the forum. We can see the bigger inner ring in the bezel and the 007 without TM under the clasp.

Mmm one step forward and one step back.. Iook at the "5" shape

Which is the factory?

Did notice a small spot on the 12 o'clock marker (upper right corner).

The Spectre is a real beauty! It's on my "wanted" list

Precisely, I can confirm that the movement has indeed two barrels

It's not my QC, PT just sent me recent QC from another buyer to show me the update.
