.........I ordered this watch - 2018 Seamaster Diver 300M VSF V2 on Feb 23. ........While I'm not looking for perfection, I am amazed with quality and accuracy of this imitation. $5200 vs $400 for a watch that I don't care if anyone else ever see's on my wrist - the design is awesome and it puts a smile on my face. -3s/d, BE 0.1ms, 334 d ampl which may be a bit high. If it lasts a year, I'll be happy. If I can get it serviced when it breaks, terrific. If I loose it or destroy it, I'm thrilled it wasn't gen.....

You have the proper attitude! I will go out on a limb and say you are going to enjoy both your watch and this hobby.

Hi, my VSF V2 300M black recently arrived and I need to adjust the bracelet. Does anyone have a recommendation for screwdriver sets off Amazon or similar? My current screwdrivers from my cheap watch adjustment set aren't small enough to fit the screws. Any recommendations much appreciated.

You need a 1.8mm flat head screwdriver. Any of them will do, but I would suggest not going for the cheapest ones. The old saying "you get what you pay for" does apply somewhat in this case....

Same thing happened for me. I ended up just filing down my 1.8mm flathead until it fit. Make sure you dont cross thread your screws too! I did that for one and now I need to order a new clasp :(

Just received these QC pics from chazingtime.
Bezel markers at 30 seems to be a tad misaligned

Thoughts??

1st thought is that you have 3 posts & don't know that posts like this are against the rules. See: new members > Replica FAQ or https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/replica-faq/94138-the-purpose-of-qc-pictures

Looking back at your post I see that you have been here since 2014. Hmm maybe you do know the rule. I guess you do ask specifically about bezel alignment so I will try and help...

I think the picture was taken where the lens was not at exactly 90 degrees to the watch & this creates an illusion that makes it seem like some of the markers on the bezel insert do not line up. In yours the 12 & 3 line up but the 6 & 9 look slightly off. This is almost always caused by what I described above.

Accept it

Is there any improvement or significant difference between the VSF 2018 V2 and the 2019 VSF seamaster diver?

This is not meant to be offensive, so please don't take it that way. Often times when guys have just joined the Forum and have only one or two posts they are confused about something. I am going to go out on a limb here and say you may be confused.

There are two completely different seamasters that vsf makes, one from 2018 and another one from 2019. They are nothing alike. The thread that we are in right now is primarily about the 2018 Seamaster. There is another thread about the 2019 Seamaster which is an entirely different watch. It is bigger, it does not have a date and I believe it is made out of titanium

Yessir, I am a confused noob asking for your expertise.. I am specifically looking at these 2 models:
https://www.intime05.co/omega/6058-...ubber-strap-a8800-v2-black-balance-wheel.html
https://www.intime05.co/omega/6354-...ck-bezel-white-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a8800.html

To my limited knowledge, both seem to be 42mm, solid 316L stainless steel case, VSF, and have a date.
Other than the obvious differences from the links (2019 VSF comes in a white dial, and the 2018 in a black dial) -- are there any other important differences/improvements?

Thank you for your time and help!
