Time_Wizard also mentioned about a flaw in the bezel on RG models. Maybe this is what you were referring to?

I thought I recalled something being mentioned, but like girlie mags I tend to take more noticed of the pretty pictures.
Quick questions for those that have V2.
Is it normal to see a bit of gap above and below the datewheel when you look at the date window at a slant angle?
Please see Pic. I just noticed this earlier today. It's hard to capture this but I see some metal (probably the movement).

I think its an pretty nice example of the RG Seamaster.
The 20 on the Bezel: If what you are talking about, is the structure of the plating, it wont be visible in real life.
The Lume: This is how the watch is currently. I have not seen a recent QC of the RG version with white hands.
You have 3 options: live with it, get the hands relumed or change to a steel version. It really depends on you.
From my experience with the same watch, I can only tell you, that in most lighting conditions the difference wont be visible. Mostly its visible after the lume is charged and you go back to a place with a little less light.

No.
The flaw is, that on the rep the engraving in the ceramic inlay is not filled up afterwards. On the GEN it looks like the RG numbers and the black bezel are on the same level. On the REP one can see, that there is an indentation. I can live with it, cuz its not really visible from an arms length. Side by Side its definitely visible.
Here is a comparison where its is visible: https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...gen-comparison

Its pretty much the same on the GEN. There is gap but is slightly smaller. Honestly you wont be able to see the difference without a magnifier.
Thank you! Also it looks like my datewheel isn't centered for certain days. Oh well haha.
Oh wow... I completely missed this thread. It will be a fun read for me today. Thank you. It's interesting how the OP mentions CG flaw isn't noticeable. I feel like i can see in video reviews I have seen of the gen when compared to mine. And yes I definitely now see what you mean on the RG bezel.

Yes this is a flaw on the gold reps. On the gen you cannot feel where the numeral are. It’s totally smooth and polished. Here is my gen blue one I sold a while ago.

Hey guys,
Can I get your opinion on the QC pics of my watch?
I'm afraid the lume on the hands is too yellowish/greenish.
I've seen VSF Seamasters with better white lume so I'm not sure whether to RL/GL.
Also the bezel finishing at 20 looks odd to me, but maybe that's just the lighting.
The hands always lume up before the indices as the hands are closer to the surface and the layer is thinner.
could be a shot that was taken soon after sunlight exposure. You could ask for another pic of the watch not exposed to light.

Follow up to my fitting a rubber strap problem, I found a couple of spare springbars and bent them over the top of a curved radiator, it was the tiniest amount almost unnoticeable and they clicked in first time,
not sure I like it, I much prefer a deployment strap, so I’m going to get a blue aqua terra strap and try that, I’ve got one fitted on my lmpo and think it looks good will post pic when I do.

Thank you guys I asked a couple of shots from Lana and since the bezel turned out fine I GLed the watch. Will try to find somebody in the area who can relume the hands
With the gold versions it's not a problem. It blends better.
Just enjoy that beautiful watch.
Cheers
Gents, I'm having this issue I hope someone could help with.
I bought a grey VSF V2 that came on the rubber strap. then bought a VSF V2 bracelet separately.
With both watch and bracelet are from VSF, both are V2, i would think they should fit.
Funnily enough when I fit the bracelet on the watch the endlinks do not hug the case properly for some reason, leaving huge gaps between the bracelet and case.
Has anyone had this issue before??? Do VSF make different version of their V2 cases? I'd appreciate any insights.
V2 watch was purchased m2m here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...viced-and-waterproofed-vsf-omega-seamaster-v2
V2 bracelet was purchased from sukwonee m2m here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...7096-vsf-v2-2018-smp-300m-metal-bracelet-20mm

ouch, I thought it looked like a V1 bracelet. I dont think he knew it was V1, he probably got duped by his seller.
Thanks for your insight.
the bastard would be me and I am acting in good faith here. I was told by the seller of the original watch that this was a V2 bracelet (that came with my V2 Omega Seamaster 300M) and I had 2 experienced members here confirm it was a V2 bracelet before I sold it.
I hold noone accountable for this. If this really is a V1 bracelet, I will make this transaction right. In fact, even if this is a V2 and it doesn't work for John_Mary, I will take back the bracelet and refund the money, no problem.
The buyer and I are trying to see if there is way to make this bracelet work on his watch. I highly doubt this is a V1 bracelet but we will wait for some more opinions (or maybe if you're experienced with this, please help us out).
Thanks

Sorry brother I thought the seller wasn’t a member here at all, but some mischievous 3rd party, my bad on that, but yes effectively because of the width of the mid link it’s either a V1 or an OMF bracelet, some other members might chime in soon, my apologies bro
No worries. All good - don't sweat it.
What seems odd to me is, even if let's say this is V1 bracelet, wouldn't it still fit v2 watch? I remember reading that the initial v2 batch came with V1 bracelets installed. I am not sure why the bracelet wouldn't fit the buyer's V2 lugs, regardless of whether this is V1 or v2 bracelet.
