Seamaster 300 Spectre ''SPC300''

[Alexccmeister]

Quick question. Can you wind this movement using the crown at position 1? I can do this with the Rolex gmt master 2 but when I did this with the rep spectre, after a few turns, the crown got harder to turn.

Someone ordered recently the vsf spectre?
I could like to confirm the last batch to have the correct 5 and the no tm clasp!

Yup I believe mine has the correct 5 and confirm no tm mark on the clasp. One thing you should get TD to ensure is the bezel should be tight and play free. This is the weakest part of the rep. Feels cheap because of the bezel.

Thanks. I think this is something hard to make them test..

Yes true but I think we should at least voice out this conceem to the TD so that they can pass on the message to the maker. I think it’s a simple matter to resolve. One reason I am hesitant to get another rep with bezel is this issue. My next watch arriving soon is the Tudor gmt Pepsi. I m hoping that has a solid bezel. Otherwise I am going to cool off buying rep with bezel until they fix it.

I might actually have to send my spectre back to angus soon if the stuck crown I posted above doesn’t resolve itself. Will ask angus to let the maker know to tighten the bezel up if I do send it back to fix. Will report here if this happens.

I shall be receiving QC pics this coming monday. I'll report back with my findings (correct 5, dial, etc.). Regarding the play/tightness of the bezel, I will ask my TD to test this. If I'm lucky I might even get a video. We shall see.

This would be great! Thanks

I will get mine in about 1-2 weeks

Anyone want to give this a go? I am just too chicken plus never took out a watch bezel in my life so need someone with experience who may be able to give advice.

Looks great on the leather strap!

As promised, some photographic evidence of the latest batch. Looking good if you ask me...polished crown ✔... correct 5 ✔... lollipop ✔...thicker inner bezel ✔
Just the tightness of the bezel needs to be tested.

Is this VSF new batch?

I cannot say for certain, but so far evidence points in that direction. If the bezel "tightness" issue is resolved, then we know for sure.

This watch is with you now? How’s the bezel?

Thanks for sharing! Did you get also the bracelet? Any TM? On it?

I did not get the bracelet, therefore I cannot comment on that.

Thanks for the pics. Hard to tell from pictures but can you tell if the dial has been updated to be more grainy?

I got the bracelet. No tm mark on the clasp. But check with your TD on this. Cos when Angus sent me the QC pix it has the tm mark.
