I would say so yes. Might be slightly tilted but who cares! Something that
might annoy me tho is the fact that the bezel don’t align with the markers.
the triangle and the markers you know?

It's quite alright. The bezel can be turned, maybe he took photos with one click to the left. You can even set it between clicks and it stays this way. I've done that on reps more than once ;)

I know that much! Hopefully it’s one click of. If not I need your help to fix it myself :)

I don't think it will bother you much once on the wrist. You'll be too distracted admiring the beauty of the watch ;)

Hmmm, I see that according to one source VSF has added the red o-ring. It'll be interesting to see if that is true.

I think that's the OMF version.

Here are my super hi-res QC pics I requested. I gave them a go, I have no patience left. I think the watch is quite acceptable.

Here is my V2 I got a few days ago and it has the red o-ring.

I am beyond impressed with the build quiality , I’ve been at the AD twice now to get a good feel for the geniune and I can confidently wear this knowing it’s just about perfect. I nearly rejected this third QC because of slight misalignment at 12 o’clock but I promise you on the wrist it is not at all visible. We sometimes get way too obsessed with these 10x or more zoomed in photos.

Very nice @Therion666 , I’d accept

I did :)

Congrats on your SMP, it looks awesome. I agree that some of these flaws are not visible in real life at all. It's interesting that you already got a watch with a red seal. Mine doesn't have one I think, but I'm not fussed about it, it's only visible when unscrewed anyway.

Yeah and who the hell would want to unscrew that junk valve. Seriously. :p

Just waiting on the rubber strap now, ordered the Ali version - if it’s not great I’ll be ordering the new VSF one that came out yesterday.

I bet your V2 will have the red o-ring too, as you said you only will see it when unscrewed and my qc photos didn’t show it so it was a nice surprise but not necessary at all.

Indeed, it was on the aqua terra. my bad ;) but i thought i saw it on this model too, but now iam not sure

Yes, it was an AT problem, not sure if it has been rectified yet.
There have been numerous minor defects/tells with the VSF Seamaster Diver 300M but the dial colour/hue has always been bang on-I can't recall a single post where there has been a problem.

From what I can tell the v1 grey version was not 100% in dial and bezel insert color. Mainly the dial. Can't tell for sure if they've improved that.

I certainly do hope so, but I'll live if it's not. But I'm not excited by my TD, who knows pretty well if a new version is on the horizon and still chooses to pass an old version on me. I'd get it if I was a first time buyer, but after buying at least 2 or 3 watches per month...not so sure what to think. Also trying to sell me that rubber strap for 88$ and not showing any will to make a bundle sale, is making me wonder if I should take my business elsewhere.
