But you can compare relative brightness within the watch. On every real picture of the gen (that's not some computer-generated picture), the bezel is darker than the dial. I went back and looked at an old I took of it in the Omega store and surely the bezel was darker than the dial. Perhaps they are the same color but the glass makes the dial look brighter? Whatever it is, the rep does not have the right color for the bezel compared tot he dial.

VSF just released this new Omega "Blue" Spectre? (Not the summer blue variant), 234.30.41.21.03.001
- Thread starter Reaps
- Start date
I doubt you will ever see this comparison. It's not a very common watch that people will have the gen and it's even more rare that someone has the rep. The chances of someone having both or access to both in the same lighting would be really rare. I am sure the rep still looks great, it's just not like the rep. I hope VSF gets the message and fix this.

Has anyone ever found a replacement bracelet for the VSF Spectre version of this watch?
I love mine but the bracelet is pretty janky and I always wear it on a NATO

Id like to see an updated version also. The issues with the bracelet and color worry me a little. Its a beautiful watch, id like to buy it . Hopefully someone has an update.
From what I read on this thread and other places some people have not been happy with the bracelet and they say that its very Janky and not great quality. Hope thats not the case. Anyone else the same experience with the bracelet?
It has sharp edges and is a bit janky, yes (something that wasn't as prominent with the v1 of the Spectre, but has become an issue with v2 or just later batches, not sure). The big issue is a different one, though: the (lack of the) width taper. The bracelet on the 2nd generation gen Seamaster 300 has a strong taper. On the rep, VSF however reused the wider bracelet from the 1st generation (i.e. the popular Spectre), just with a different polishing. This does not only change the character of the watch optically, some people (including me) think that the 1st generation isn't exactly the most comfortable watch to wear, and the new bracelet should have improved that feeling quite a bit.
Interesting. In my quest to find out information about the new VSF Seamaster 300 Heritage rep, I found this thread. Does anyone have information about the black dial? I looked at a couple on reddit and it seems pretty good/accurate.
