VSF 43.5mm 600M PO

[leo6929]

Just received my blue one. Stunning watch. I can tell you it is better than the new black-orange VSF 43.5 mm I received a couple of months ago. The bezel is better finished, the silver color of the numbers is very gen-like and you can hardly tell they are engraved. Amazing how in a couple of months VSF upgraded this. Overall, this thing feels like Omega factory. I’ve handled the gen and oh boy, so close. You need to have it at hand to get the feel of it, cause pics don’t do it justice. Seeing the video above Im wondering... will they release the grey-orange? ???? Can’t Wait!

Thanks for the pics!

It looks great, but a little bit big your on wrist ? Maybe only the angle. Would be great to see it side by side, next to the LMPO.
I assume the new PO wears better, as the bracelet/end links "fall" better.
The crystal looks also very clear and non-reflective. Great watch!
Im thinking of buying the same, blue one.

Just received my QC's, people will the blue watch, does your engraving have this gap? Or has the engraving been mistamped? JayGar leo6929

Mine looks fine, and with these macro shots, they don't really show in real life

Your picture isn't zoomed enough. You need to do it like this, flaws can be seen much better:



Or even better, single number like this:




Apparently, when you're wearing watch on your wrist and show it to others, they usually carry magnifying glass in their pocket.

I just spat my coffee everywhere.

All I wanted to say mate, don't worry about those things that you cannot see with naked eye. Even GENs have issues with missaligment, with crooked index, etc.

No no, I got the point, but I also enjoyed a good laugh.

I think that is due to light reflections but it is fine

You’re right... it is a little big for my wrist (6.5”) and it wears pretty heavy for me. I’ve got a canvas strap coming today for it to see if that helps it wear lighter. I’ve attached some crappy pics below and you can see the difference but the pictures really don’t do the added bulk of the 43.5 over the LMPO. In person, the 43.5 looks much more substantial and sporty compared.

I love the fit and finish though. The color of the bezel is great. The bracelet seems well made and is very comfortable. I’ve got no gaps or finish issues on my bezel numerals. The movement looks great and it’s quiet (though keep in mind that I’m truly a noob to this whole rep scene).

Based on the bulk, I’m not sure how much wrist time this one will get compared to the LMPO. I’ll post pics soon of it on a Barton canvas strap.

@JayGar
Thanks a lot for the pics...i appreciate it!
I love the new end links and the bracelet.
Wish they had a 42mm.
But you can wear it, ...no doubt !

The OMEGA logo seems to be slightly tilted upward to the right. Is it possible to fix?

Were you referring to the word Omega or the symbol above the word? Here’s some better pics to judge from. In these it looks like the ‘Seamaster’ and the symbol are fine but the ‘Omega’ is higher on the right side. Thoughts?

FatPanda / Watchfinder. I had them delay the shipment because I wasn't home, it only shipped a couple days ago. I'm a little worried about the size, my wrist is similar. When I tried one on at an AD it seemed doable but I didn't wear it very long. I already have an 18mm deployment clasp, I'm trying to find the gen rubber strap.

Maybe barely, but it's tough because the camera angle and lighting is never perfect.

Im referring to the word Omega. Yeah we see the same thing. It’s a bit tilted. Can it be fixed?

 

[SeikoWarrior]

But that is barely noticeable on the wrist. Great piece you got there.

Yay! My dad was in Shenzhen and got me the new version! It arrived today and bezel is flushed! I'm in love.

These vsf omegas are simply stunning. The level of finishing is spot on
