Anyway you'll need to remove the deco plate to regulate this properly. Frankly 15+ secs a day is more than acceptable. Even ETA specs are +-30 secs per day for a non chronometer grade movt.

Ok great thx! So do you think I just need to remove those two black screws to remove the bridge to get to it?
Over the last day my watch is drifting toward +20 secs a day. I was hoping it would drift the other way. This may be in spec for normal operation but it should be fairly straightforward to get it within 7-10 secs. That way I only need to reset my time once a week and I'm never more than one half minute off.

Actually it's not that simple. Those black screws are also dummies. The whole deco plate is one piece. Look closely at the edge and you can see all the bridges are joined up. So you'll need to remove the rotor and then find the 2 or more real screws (I don't have this watch yet but the AP deco plate is the same) that secure it to the movement ring. Then the whole thing will lift off.
But if your watch is constantly gaining it would suggest problems. One is that it could be getting magnetised. Quickly gaining time would be a symptom of that. Do you keep it near any speakers of close to a phone?
Dang that sounds like a project.
I think the closest it gets to my phone is when I'm holding I t in my hand and wearing the watch. Not doing anything different than my last watch which also has a Miyota.

At the very least I'd recommend getting a service done. The movt could be dirty (very likely) and it's money well spent since the 8215 is normally a reliable work horse movement. Or you could buy a factory fresh 8215 from the bay for around $30 and just swap them over.
I think that may be jumping the gun a bit. I only got it Monday night so I'll see if it settles in. I'd try to regulate it first before replacing the entire movement.

Well just keep in mind that most rep movements are often not lubricated properly and/or dirty. Gaining time over a few days does hint at an actual problem that needs addressing.
Ok thx. Any recommendations on someone in the U.S to do the servicing. If I go that route I'd like to get it cleaned, lubricated, regulated within 10 seconds per day, fully sealed for against water and pressure tested.

I'm not in the US so have to wait for someone else to chip in here. But you could seek out a local watchmakers and carefully approach the subject of it being a rep!! The servicing of this is very simple.
Just heard from Ken - V2 updates are only bracelet brushing and Omega logos on nato strap keepers and buckle. No updates to the head that he's aware of.
Check with Katt in the watchmaker's section of this forum. He's in the US and very highly recommended for service and repair.
It's been a week since I handed my hard earned over and was hoping for some qc pics or some info but nothing by email since last Saturday am. I emailed Toro asking if there's a problem with qc pics or stock. Reply just said "yes out of stock right now, wait for new batch". I have replied asking is it 2 weeks as there seems to be better communication on RWI than from the actual Trusted Dealers which is a shame. Feel being patient but just an update would have been nice, I feel. Now I know I will be prepared to wait, don't have a lot of choice really and I know it will be worth it.
I stopped by an Omega Boutique today to pick up the new Omega LIFETIME magazine "The Spectre" issue. (Spectre impresario [MENTION=115660]imranbecks[/MENTION] posted it earlier in this thread). If you're following this thread and have access to an Omega boutique, I HIGHLY recommend you pick one up. Pages and pages of info about the Bond movies and watches, including a whole multi-page spread of every Bond watch Omega produced.
You can buy them on the website or even "subscribe" but it's a total sham. Every boutique I've walked into has had a stack of the newest issue and they're always more than happy to give me one. The sales guy today even gave me a lovely red bag to carry it out to my car.

Haha exactly, Toro has very fast response, but very google-translator-like responses (unlike Chazing, which responded in full sentences and you had feeling they understand your questions). Anyway, I wholeheartedly hope we will receive the QC photos at least by the end of the next week
Be happy with that , shame you get more info on here than from the TD but appreciate that.
Great pictures guys. Mine was just dispatched out via EMS. It definitely passes off at first (and second) glance as the gen. Congratulations; super hyped to receive mine!
On another note, can anyone share how long the EMS takes from China to SG?
