VSF New 2018 Seamaster 300M Blue

[Therion666]

Is the bezel engraved or did they finally get it right this time? I can't see it from these pics..

Well the 8500 and the 8800 are pretty different movement and actually in terms of functions the 8800 resembles more the 2824 than the 8500 (no jumping hour hand, but quick-set date)

You, my friend, are a very talented photographer!

I’m going to one of the AD to see it in real, thinking of getting gen SMP, kinda love the wavie dial, though a lot of ppl don’t like it.

I have the black dial and I love it...definitely will also get the blue but it must come with the correct bracelet this time.

Looks great, nice photo! Hopefully the next one is the grey dial so I can go ahead and pull the trigger

 

[vcappp]

it looks just amazing! thanks kobe24 for your effort to bringing the news and info here directly from the GZ market industry.

Do you have any hint how fast VSF will release the correctly designed steel bracelet for this new model?

Also, what time frame we can expect to see the handsome grey color dial for this model?
thanks.

That looks amazing.

Once they get the bracelet right, it's game over for me. I can live with the decorated movement :fap:

 

[reppin]

So is the dial on this one spot on? I am new to Omega reps but it looks good judging by the pics

kobe24 I think it would be great if VSF or at least their budget outlet XF would have a go on the "old" ceramic SMP 300m:

Waaaaay easier to rep and the bloody MKF doesn't understand the concept of a non-engraved bezel insert, so they would get all their business.

I'm sure they would make a killing in this watch! These new ones are..well..meh!

They need to leave some models for other makers. If they make this model, MKF and OMF Omega 300M will be dead.

That would be great, because they (MKF) are literally making fools of themselves and their customers with that engraved bezel. They're already at V3 and the damn thing is still completely wrong.

I agree with everything you are saying...I’m just not sure the factory (none in particular) care if the make the best possible rep, they all sell and then update and sell again.

 

[Therion666]

Yeah, agreed. But coming all the way to the V3 (MKF SMPC) and doing no improvement whatsoever and not adressing the most problematic flaw ( insert) is downright shameful! They're a bunch of cheeky bastards..

Hell yes...I would love it if they occasionally made an update fixing a flaw without adding another one!

Slow incremental upgrades make us keep buying each version, sadly. Sorta like the iPhone.
