Quality control photos, what do you think, I have read the whole thread to be sure when I receive them. I think that at 12 and at 6 it is misaligned but it could be the angle, for the rest I see it well and the bracelet I think I am sure I know it is v2

Thanks friends fron spain!

I am concerned about misalignment but it sure is an optical effect! If no one sees any very evident defect throughout the day I think I will pull the trigger and accept it, I am anxious !! There is much talk about the color of the lume and others, it is the only reason why it is not in the list of top 1 class representatives? from what many people talk about, it is the most original feeling that he has ever had in his life, I do not understand that he does not top that list if everything else is perfect except for minor details! I appreciate the experts who look over the photos and comment! thanks

because of lume, CG and SEL this wont be NWBIG in my opinion. None the less an excellent rep!

They are very slight defects, for example the lume I think depends on the photo, and in the gene the same, regarding the handles I do not see a defect so serious that it is not super rep. There are many worse watches on that list, we should definitely ask for it to be included on this list !!

Marcospcol if on bracelet, its an instant tell for me. Maybe not instant on the wrist, but surely on pics. On my own wrist the SEL stands out like a blind carpenter’s thumb. The CG only noticable side by side, like most reps flaws. I do think the yellow lume can be over looked, but on mine it is 70% of the time nasty yellow, and it makes it unpleasant at those times. That being said, its one of my favourite watches still.

I’m pretty sure they are available now with improved lume. I’ll be chatting with him tomorrow.

​​​​​​​Doesn't seem to be the case here, QC just in earlier today. Mismatching lume colour still present, dealer confirmed this is from the latest batch.

The lume markers looks like the latest batch all white lume but the hands looks like they are from the previous batch...just RL this and ask for ones with white lume for the hands

As somebody else said the dial markers are great but there are some with white hands too. Reject it bud or get the hands relumed later which is way easier than doing the hour markers.

The VSF grey is still one of my favourite reps. Once I swapped over the clasp to an OEM clasp (got it from the Omega store at the millennia mall in FL) to get rid of the sharp edges, it's awesome, apart from the off-colour lume we all know about.

It seems other colour dials have been improved over the months, and I was pleased when dealers started to relist the grey in November, so I thought great, Ill ask my dealer to get me a new fresh dial ($70) as mine was from the early V2 batch.

I was assured it is the latest they are using, but it looks exactly the same as what I have. So pretty peed off that either it has not changed (and we can blame lighting) or factory gave him an old part.

I was thinking about getting it relumed, but finding someone reliable in EU (yes I have tried two members on here) but no joy so far, so may list it in the spares in case a fellow member wants to swap dial, or have a go at luming themselves :)
