OMEGA Seamaster 300 SPECTRE Limited Edition

[Conquerer]

Just got my QC from my TD! This time i learned my lesson to not wait for the V2 since I passed on my first QC. did notice they put the 007, "OMEGA" and omega symbol on the Nato. Doesnt really matter anymore though since I have a Gen Nato on its way. Either way Im a happy camper!
@Miriamka - I was told by my TD (not Toro) that the watch bezel is Bi-directional.

Awesome. The strap looks so much better with the more squarish strap holders like the gen has and the markings, instead of those awful curved and unmarked ones on the V1. Of course the gen is still better but at a hefty price, about the same as the watch... But this one is looking good enough now, although it would be great if they could get a closer match on the fabric next. Anyone have more pics of this new rep strap?

Finally received mine yesterday after a long wait. Mine was sitting with status shipping information received for over a week. Once DHL actually got it, it moved very fast.

Some notes and comments.

The watch is beautiful and feels very solid, bracelet as well. Before removing any links the total weight was 6.2 oz.

The bracelet was easy to size and for me I prefer the pcl so it looks great and really like the quick adjustment in the clasp. For anyone wearing it on the bracelet, check all of your screws, I found about 3-4 lose ones that needed tightening.

The watch is keeping perfect time for the last 18 hours or so. No sputter either whatsoever.

The lume is pretty good and what I would call acceptable.

The nato strap is complete crap. I would not wait for a version 2 just to get "omega" on the buckle. A $13 premium nato from cheapestnatostraps is much nicer and I will use that and probably get mea buckle off of eBay once I tire of the bracelet

All in all very happy with the purchase.

Are you familiar with the straps from the site above? Are the buckles changeable if you purchase an Omega buckle elsewhere?

I am. The premium are better than the standard. The premium are stitched and the standard are glued. The leather are pretty nice too but kind of thin which I guess is what you want for a nato. None of the buckles are removable you will just have to snip it off when replacing it.

Hello,

there were unintentionally created to account from the same laptop (Miriamka here is my sister ). Anyway, I have cancelled the order from Chazing and received a refund. My sister ordered the watch yesterday from Toro and today they said QC pics should be available by Friday (I just hope they will not tell me the batch has been sold out), we are both looking forward to seeing them

Hey guys,

So I had ordered the Spectre watch thorough Chazing and a few days ago he told me once I paid the quality pictures would be ready in 3-4 days. Now I emailed him and he told me they are waiting for version 2 of the watch and that won't be for around 2 more weeks....?!

I don't understand.. Is it possible to just take the version out now? I'm worried I'm being like scammed or something... I'm new to this so since I already paid and they took the money through western union, I don't know what to Do now. I just wanna get the watch as soon as possible and everyone who posted pictures of the Chazing order they received and it looked great so I don't know why I need to wait another 2 weeks now for another version or is it not true?

Just some help please on what to Do.

Thank you!

Don't worry, ChazingTime is a reliable dealer. Rep factories need some weeks to produce a new batch of watches, that's why he asked you to wait a bit.

They are out of stock, a new batch will be out on the 20th. Not a v2, just a new batch from what I've heard

 

[nathan.r007]

In the email he sent me this morning he told me it will be a V2 in 2 weeks they are waiting for. So is it now? So many things being said who knows what's true. Just not sure when I'll even get my watch now.

You won't be getting it this year unless you live in Asia

Do not worry, it appears that Toro has the same ,,problem" - it appears that even a batch of V2 watches has been sold out and we will have to wait 1-2 weeks. But it is shame that they do not have some sort of auto-notification system (or at least to change ,,in stock" status to ,,sold out") and you are waiting for QC photos, full of joy, just to discover the batch is sold out. Anyway, I do not want to blame Chazing nor Toro, as they seem to be really TDs and I my sister is very looking forward to receiving the watch at least after New Year . After all, I guess this ,,sold out" issue happens every year by this time.

Dealers "stock" are not like a store's stock. They order it from the factory once you've paid so they don't know what the factory's stock is untill it has been sold out

Someone asked me for photos of it on the brushed bracelet. Here they are. As you all know, unlike the gen, the bracelet of the rep comes with the PCL's. So I brushed it myself with my wife's nail buffer. Not perfect, but it sure looks better now without the PCL's!

 

[pure b]

I think this watch is not made for a bracelet, it just looks weird at the lugs

 

[imranbecks]

Back on the Nato!

Very nice combination indeed! How is your Miyota movement holding up?

Its still keeping very good time after being worn for 5 days straight now!

How many seconds fast/slow a day?

Yesterday mine was perfect now averaging about 15 secs fast per day. Was hoping for a little better than that and will see how it's running in the next few weeks. If it keeps at this rate I'll probably open it to adjust it but didn't really want to ruin the seal.

Any info on if this watch will be updated to have the proper brushed bracelet?

Several people have posted that various TDs have told them a "v2" is coming at some point with a correct bracelet. Anywhere from the next few weeks to a couple months.

I'm holding off until then, I'll be wearing it on the gen NATO most of the time but it's worth it for me to have a correct bracelet. (Although [MENTION=115660]imranbecks[/MENTION], my Spectre muse, is tempting me with his DIY bracelet mod :w00t.
