VSF New 2018 Seamaster 300M Blue

[Vric]

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

Funny thing, our hobby actually cost less than iPhones now

There's a new 007 Commander's watch out on Puretime:

Looks more like the Bozo the clown's watch to me..

Thoughts?

I think TrustyTime had this version for a few week now (PT and Intime had the cheaper Miyota with bad pearl version) This one should be aETA

I find it quite nice and close to gen. Better on nato imo.

The rubber bezel insert is an instant tell for all those models though.

…well the gen commander looks ugly as hell
so why should the rep look any better? haha

but luckily everyone has different tastes

thrilled about the vsf 2018 seamaster
i actually like the blue dial a lot

The gen bezel is engraved then filled like liquidmetal isnt it? Could it be modded- filled and polished maybe?? I never fancied the painted on markers ( can rub off )so went gen instead

I’m modding my MKS bezel numbers with the sharpie mod. Several layers already applied but I thin still several to go to fill those engravings

Not looked into it but gen is enamel i think , maybe something like a paste can fill and polished flush to the bezel

You can see a video review here (gray version)

It's not 100% flush (you can see it with light reflexion) and it's enamel, not liquid metal (if we talk about the 2018 version...)
The rep bezel insert is engraved too much, but not that far.

The blue version with the bracelet is out, and the bracelet is still wrong:

They just use the black version's bracelet

Actually no, they have the micro-adjustment on the claps. So new claps, old bracelet... a baby step at the time.

Any idea when they will release an updated bracelet?

Wow, that looks phenomenal! Once they get the SS bracelet figured out, I'll be all over one of these in a heart beat.
