Just for interest heres a pic of one I rejected. Just want to show the lume. I think it looks a lot better than the lume on the blue one I have. The 11 also looks less crooked.


Why rejected?

Looking to buy a 2018 Omega Seamaster 300M VSF V2. Must be on bracelet but open to all dial options. If anyone is interested in selling theirs please contact me. Preferably looking to buy M2M from Europe since TDs are on hold until March most likely. A lot of nice pieces in this thread so hopefully someone is on the fence about selling theirs and want to strike a deal.

Also looking forward to buy one!

My only doubt is it the VSF V2 version is the best out there yet, every time I read a new post from this model, my mind changes and dont know which version I should be looking for...

Hi, thank you for a great thread and forum :)
Just about ready to say yes to this, but spotted that the right bar in the 12 marker is a tiny bit angled. Is it notice worthy?

Ok for those not sure about the lume update I can now assure you there was an update. I own a quite older blue version from the yellow lume batch. Today I received the black version and the lume is most definitely pure white and quite a bit whiter than my older one. They also updated the SEL. The polished bits are much less rounded and definitly not such an eyesore anymore for me. The fit of the SEL is also much better than my older one, but that could just have been a batch issue.

jpchub great info on the updates. I may pull the trigger on the blue one after the CNY.

My 2018 is with Hanski for a rotor fix (rotor was rotating when manually winding) and bezel insert re-alignment. Can't wait to get it back next week :)

This black one is not mine. Just helped to source it for a friend. But now after seeing these updates, I want to get the updated blue one. Btw, both these rotors rotate when manual winding. Wonder why that is?

It shouldn't do that but I think it's an issue that exist on some VSF 2018 SMP. I was told that it will eventually put more wear on the movement but it's not a critical issue you have to address asap. It cost me 50 bucks to fix it. It has to do with the.... reverse wheel(?) not being oiled enough. I am not a tech guy but this is what i was told.

Thank you. Maybe I must give it a go myself.

Can anyone who baught one of these recently perhaps post a macro if their SEL? I just want to see if this is a permanent upgrade and not perhaps a QC issue. Thanx
