Vsf 2018 seamaster diver 300m
- Thread starter GENneral
- Start date
Gents, one question came up recently and I would value your take - I have been an owner of the SMP 300 since the November 2018 and recently see that it is difficult to screw in the crown. The threads seem not to "catch" properly and it requires a lot of strength. I see that the proper threads are deep inside. Tried the floss trick to clean it up a bit, but does not seem to improve. Any tips ? I do not recall having to improperly screw it in before and doing any damage... Appreciate any tips from long time users ! Thanks

Common issue with Omegas. Had the same issue with the Planet Ocean, however not sure if it applies for the Diver 300.
Here is an old link with a possible solution. I did it on mine more than a year ago, still works:

Thank you for your reply ! It is possible, appreciate if any other users have this issue as well ?

You could ask for a close up picture just incase it’s an optical illusion, if not I’d reject as it would bug me

Lume overspill by the looks of it. I’d reject.

Hi guys,
I just received my QC pictures, and I have to ask for your opinions, same issue as hishamelakkad
Lume overspill at 3 and 9, it's a shame because the watch is perfect otherwise imho.
The TD says it's good.. My gut says I Should reject? Or am I nitpicking?
Thanks

Vsf qc does need close scrutiny but you’ll get there eventually. Personally I’m waiting for the new ORF to be available as it looks very good in the pics on trusty site so we will have an alternative shortly which might make VSF up their game as the OMF is crap.

Replisimio I see there’s even another new player on Trusty doing these. Doesn’t look as good as ORF, but not too bad

hey Guys, been looking around for a dial alignment tutorial/pics, is there a link to one somewhere?

The grey is my favorite but getting a decent one with a whiter lume seems to be tough.
I ordered a V2 dial from my dealer as I thought it was better then the one I owned as recent dealer photos appeared better, however it arrived and was the same as what I had, so ended up sending the watch off for a relume. Results below.
If anyone needs a grey dial, or fancy having a go at a relume themselves and worried about messing up the dial they have. I have just listed it in the sales section as I no longer require it.
where did you relume your watch, it looks spot on?

Just got qc on a blue one. I'm worried that I have the dreaded yellow lume... not sure though as the pics are pretty bright. Also, the bezel insert is not aligned to the bezel. Is this a hard thing to fix? Because it's a dealbreaker for me- I can't unsee it.
