Mate. You'll be surprised. It really comes down to the wearer. Mine had the same problem, slanted dial off exactly 1 min. So if the bezel was aligned to the 12 o clock marker if the DIAL, the bezel will be off centre. If the bezel was turned to the 12 o'clock of the CASE, it will not be aligned to the 12 marker on the dial. So I left it pointing to 12 marker on the dial, and after a few days it annoyed the hell out of me, not being patient enough to get my tools from work, I opened the case, separated the sandwich dial and aligned the top piece to true centre, and pasted it back, damaging the dial, hands in frustration. I hate myself for not being anal enough during qc and now I just wish this not to happen on any of our friends here.

I know the feeling. Especially when all my other reps are "virtually" undetectable on the wrist, I've had one that had a similar problem (off by half a click) and it was such an eyesore to ME. It just stared back at me, mocking me lol.

I hope Adam doesn't mind me using this, but you can see a very well-aligned bezel pearl and 12:00 marker in this first pic, making me even more curious to see if mine is just an angle issue or a bezel/dial problem.

I bought it was an angle problem too, because you know how the height of the bezel from the dial is quite high, until I have it on my wrist. Damn

Dont be fooled lads i honestly believe there all the same, rhe markers are not perfect if i look at mine at some angles its off. TDs are being rather crafty with images.

I bought Omega SM300 watch from TD in December and I'm happy with quality and looks. However precision is really bad. I have to adjust watch approximately every 2 days and usually it's 1-3 minutes (not seconds) ahead. I would accept if it's some seconds, but 3 minutes off by 48 hours is definitely too much.

How do you recommend to proceed with the issue? Do TD-s have also warranty for the watches and does anybody have experience in such situations?

So I've got through the QC images for my watch from Ryan at InTime. The alignment and movement seems good (he sent a video of the second movement), but the lume seems pretty bad. What do you guys recommend?

Trust me when I say this. That lume is better than most! The earlier versions had pretty much no lume on the hour and minute hands.

I received mine a few days ago. The watch looks very nice, just a really beautiful watch. BUT a few hours after I received it, the pearl on the bezel fell out and I lost it. The factory doesn't want to replace it. I have to purchase a bezel for $25. The other thing is, though the lume on the indices and on the minute and second hand is really very good, the lume on the hour hand is nearly not visible, so not usable to read the time at night or dark conditions :-(
Ryan was very polite but he can't do anything against the factory policy. So I will never buy a watch from this factory, but for sure another one from InTime, probably a Noob. This factory produces super quality.

Hi, if You can get a bezel replacement for only $25 somehow it sounds great. Imagine if there was no replacement at all. I could well live with that.
The lume on these in general isn´t good at all. You either have to accept is or spend +- $130 to have it re-lumed, it will be stunning bright afterwards. (for doing a re-lume the rep has to be disassembled first, the old lume removed etc.)

Yes, I'm thinking about it to purchase the bezel insert from Ryan. Just ordered on ebay a pearl alone and will try to mount it. If it fails, I'll order it from Ryan. Because I think it's simplier for me to put a pearl in ther existing bezel than to replace the whole bezel by myself.
Can you tell me where or who would re-lume the hands? It sounds interesting.

Hi!
As I know there is only one factory producing that model, the V6F. The quality is not bad, the watch looks really amazing, but the QC is imho not very good. You have to check the screws on the bracelet and tighten them. Mine were loose. Also after a few hours of wearing the pearl from the bezel were lost and the factory didn't want to replace it on their cost. A new bezel insert plus the shipping would be at least about $50. I bought a pearl on ebay for $20. Apart from this a very beautiful watch.
