Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial

[Ronald]

Do you guys know if there is anything i can do to correct a missaligned pearl, if I happen to receive one?
Or a misaligned dial, can it be rotated?
My biggest concern is to not be able to judge well by the QC picture, and receive a misaligned (even if slightly), not being able to do nothing to correct it.
Misalignment is a very big tell, i can`t get around that feeling that something doesnt look right.


Thanks

Yup! Not released yet. But anyway do let me know about misalignment too! Thanks

Received mine from Toro Bravo three days back.
Have to stay I'm astounded by the quality of this watch. Lume is quite a sight to behold. Timekeeping wise, aside from the stuttering of the second hand (which I eventually got used to), it keeps excellent time. Much to my delight, I have been letting it run for the past three days and it has not lost a minute (didn't keep check of the seconds though, but heck i'm not too anal over that). It's about in sync with the time displayed on my phone.
I have absolutely no regrets over my purchase; it was worth every penny.

very nice mate. do you have a video of the stuttering?

Got mine today and I was loving it until I noticed a hair inside the display crystal... now that's going to drive me nuts until I figure out how to get it out! D:

Great watch. Does anyone experienced shuttering problems with the miyota 8215?

Most do, some don't. It's a well known and documented thing. One of those things I'm afraid and nothing to do with being a rep.

Here's a detailed explanation as to why the stutter happens.

It would be interesting to know what are the odds for one seamster to shutter. I can't take the risk to buy one if 1 movement of 2 shutters.

Read the article I posted the link to. It's a common thing due to the design of the movement. It can be adjusted to make it less likely if it does suffer from it. However there's a great many gen watches that use this same movement and they can also suffer from this. Not a reason to not buy this watch.

How much of an issue is the bezel markers rubbing off? Is this a rare occurrence or will always happen over time?

Judging by reports of those posted here, I think it's pretty rare. Many users here have this and none have posted anything about a fading bezel except from just one user here. Nothing over at rwg too. I guess only time will tell but I hope its rare and not an issue. Quite disappointing if it does become an issue.

Hi guys! I just got my watch and am really pleased with it. Keeping my fingers crossed about the bezel. Am trying to get used to the lower beat rate of the movement with the second hand but other than that I'm pretty satisfied. The rotor is slightly noisy though. Back plates and bracelet feel slightly cheap, but happy that diver's extension works well. Lume is surprisingly great!

Looks good! The rotor on my Spectre Seamaster is pretty silent. Only a slight noise when moving my wrist from time to time, but not loud enough to bother or distract me. Take care of it, enjoy it and wear it in good health!

Wow, it`s curious that the lume is great, maybe a new batch?
If possible, I would be pleased to se more photos.
Thanks

Lume:

The indices are great. They shine okay, I can still see them when I wake up in the middle of the night.

The hour hand is bad, you can judge from the pic.

The minute hand, acceptable for a rep. But doesn't last as long as the indices.

I'm really confused about the second hand.... not being white is/was considered to be a major flaw on the rep. Personally, I think the white second hand doesn't fit the look of the piece at all and the hand being silver is a much better look. Was the hand white from the very beginning on this piece? I was looking at this video review and I'm seeing silver.... or is it?
