received my blue dial just now. lume is much more acceptable than it looked in QC pics. I would say its the same tone as my LMPO V6 indices' lume. will check it out in sunlight if the sun ever comes out today. overall a damn nice watch!

The lume complaints are pure crap. Here is my Omega VSF V2 Black Dial and no issues. Enjoy the watch and happy holidays.

for some reason I cant see your pic, and only my 1st out of 3 pics posted. anyways, thank you, loving this watch. just one thing, and I don't know if the gen is similar, but the bracelet feels kinda light and a lil cheapish compared to feel of my LMPO's bracelet. But that could just be the different design.

I can see all the pics.
The gen bracelet is rock solid and moderately heavy...
It’s hard to replicate a good gen bracelet.
That’s why I change the bracelet on 90 percent of my reps.

Cheers

Therion666 i think its the bit of sideways flex that to me gives it the light and little noisy feel. I dont dislike it. Was just wondering if its similar to gen? My LMPO’s bracelet is as solid as a rock.

Oh. Mine feels great! I've handled more than one gen of this watch and the only thing that I've noticed is that the inner edge of the bracelet is a bit sharper on the rep. But just a bit. Otherwise no difference.

Yea, I agree with this. I sincerely doubt it is any lighter that the gen. How could it be? Same dimensions & same material is going to be the same weight. If anyone thinks this rep bracelet is noisy you haven't had an older/cheaper style folded link, stamped clasp bracelet in hand. This rep bracelet is not cheaply made or noisy, they just didn't finish the job very well.

I took a polishing wheel to the inner edge (the sharp edge mentioned above) and lightly softened that edge and cleaned the bracelet. Once done it feels just like gen.

Cool thanx. So both of yours also have quite a bit of sideways play? The links can be pushed towards eachother and pulled out further apart?

None whatsoever, it sounds like a defect to me. Mine is totally and completely firm.

yea, mine is firm too. I guess if I pull on the links it might stretch 1/4 or 1/8 mm or some very small amount but I certainly wouldn't call it quite a bit. If I try to bend the bracelet sideways with it off the watch it will bend maybe a couple mm at most. An old worn out bracelet can bend quite a bit, maybe a cm or more so 1 or 2 mm is not much at all and is very gen like.
