I think this might be my first rep. Recommendations on who to buy from or anyone selling a used one? Thanks!

Has anyone ever done a Original Dial on one of the newer SMP's ? or is it a Omega Only Part ?? I feel if you did the Dial and Hands it would be Amazing !!!

My only issue is the Lume like everyone else has pointed out...

In all my life I have never seen an original SMP 300m dial for sale. They are closely guarded...

just to add to this never ending lume color discussion..

in various lightings even on gen the lume color looks yellowish/greenish, have a look yourself:

Aye, the yellowing happens either when exposed to super bright light or being in a case for a long time. It gets whiter when exposed to sunlight.

Thanks for sharing this! :)

Is that watch in the video definitely Gen? If so, my VSF is absolutely BANG on accurate.

a recent one from VSF. Is this a new beginning of a variation of the lume flaw??

In this case, instead of whole markers and hands lume greenish white, The lume color of the makers look very white but the lume color of the hands look slightly green-ish white?

How do you guys think?
Thanks.



I post this as specific concern and the majority of posts mentioned/interested/related in this topic.

I had the SAME issue with my QC from Li at JTime. This is not an isolated incident it seems...thank you so much for bringing it up, brother

Those hands look BAD! I don't think the lume looks any whiter on the markers, the hands just look worse. I happen to be wearing mine tonight and here's a (admittedly rubbish) photo of mine from an hour ago in crappy indoor light, no filters of any sort.

I'd pay more than TD price to get your watch :D

Thanks you two, but it does change depending on the light - sometimes it does have that off white tinge seen in that (allegedly) Gen video in post #47 above.
True, but I'd rather have an even watch than an uneven lume disaster

Replica oblivion…
I own the 2018 VSF 1:1 purchased Aug 2019 (from Lucy) with the black dial and it's incredible including the SS bracelet. Could you please post pic's of the RED O-ring on the HRV when available. Many thanks!

I received my watches from Lucy yesterday. Omega 300M VSF white dial. Everything aligned and looks very good. Lume is slightly greenish and noticeable but not a deal breaker. VSF has upgraded movement with black balance wheel and yes it does have the RED o ring on the He valve as per the genuine watch. So far this is my fave watch now.

i also received my Big Bang Unico Hublot. Excellent quality with a few minor flaws ( screws on case back marked from factory on installation ) other than that it’s a very good 1:1 unit and spectacular to wear.
