I hope they do the black one next.
Check out Trusty's website. A8F has worldtimer in black and green, and metal and rubber straps. Much cheaper than VSF due to cheaper movement and no GMT function.

For green worldtimer, VSF only has it in metal bracelet

I just wish they didn't screw the globe up. I know it's a rep but there is virtually no detail. Europe? PT? Spain? UK? France? It's one blob of paint compared to the gen. Such a shame.

Have you received your QC yet? If so please share pics
He offered it for 388$ but corrected, since it is now being sold on their site for 398$. I am still thinking about it since Pater pointed out correctly that the color is way off, so I might just stick around and wait if that is indeed true and see if they can fix it in a V2.



This is the color I am talking about:

Indeed, it should be a fairly easy fix as they will need a slighty off-white wheel. Even if the white-tone is not 1:1, it will be better than the current bright green version.


I would wait to be honest.

Youā€™re right, I went to look at the Gen on omegaā€™s page and itā€™s just off white not light green.

I would feel this should have been an easy catch for them before going into production. Maybe intime had a post photo color grading issue, does anyone actually have this in hand??

Looks amazing! Give us a wristshot under natural light! ā˜ŗļø
Sure, I will grab one soon.

The more I stare at my pictures against the gen at the bottom, I think I know what VSF did. The lume in the hour batons on the gen is whiter than the rep. The gen lume matches (on my screen) with the day-half of the background of the GMT wheel. Because the VSF lume is greener, VSF matched the color to the day-half of the background of the rep GMT wheel. Otherwise, the lume would look really off (too green relative to a creamy-white GMT wheel). In-hand/on-wrist, itā€™s not as obvious due to the consistency. Itā€™s only when we compare with gen do you notice it as much. To be frank, I missed it earlier.

Outside in the late afternoon sun:





In the sun it appears VSF should lighten the green on the DW.
They look splendid! Great buy!

And yes, the off-whiteness of the VSF rep is not that obvious under natural light. In all fairness, rep factories are seldom able to produce lumes that appear pure white under natural light. They usually have greenish/bluish/yellowish hues. That happened to my VSF Omega Seamaster 300M.

Just received my green worldtimer in the mail.

On the VSF rep, the word "SEAMASTER" is printed flat (i.e. 2D). On the gen, the word "SEAMASTER" appears to be embossed (i.e. 3D). @critical_ do you find that to be the case for yours?

This is under indoor lighting with a color temperature of 3000K using the iPhone 15 Pro Max macro lens.




I have not held a gen in hand yet:
I noticed the word SEAMASTER in the VS is flat (not raised or embossed) as compared to gen
