Hi Guys, I have got my Spectre from MKS and I should tell you that it it leaves indeed a feeling of a fantastic rep. I have not seen the gen Spectre close by though. The flaws of the back case are of less importance to me as you don't see it most of the time. The front side is stunning! Regarding the movement, having read various forums I have my impression that a decorated Asian (thus standard) movement is more reliable than a custom made VSF super clone. As there are no other comparable versions of Spectre on the market, MKS seems to be a great choice. The minor flaw would be the alignment of the minutes prints along the bezel. None of the pictures that I have seen so far (neither VSF nor MKS) show a perfectly centered print on the bezel. At the same time the misalignment is so small that you could only spot it with a loop. At lease, I consider my one as acceptable.
Regarding the second arrow, I could not spot am issue as mentioned upstream this section. Maybe someone could still comment on that?
I have removed the steel band, just don't really like it compared to Seamaster Diver or PO ones. Also don't like the NATO strap. Placed a temporary leather strap and meanwhile looking for a good 21 mm silicone strap that would fit.
