For the most part, anyone who can service an eta should be able to figure this out. The clone has a regular escapement rather than a coaxial, the latter being the obstacle for any watchmaker not trained by omega. Go on omega forum and read posts from AL AR.cher about himself and the other omega watchmakers learning to service a coaxial escapement. I think he said by he end of the first week the most of them barely had a handle on it
Check out rwi list of trusted watchmakers in Conus, there are several

My omega will arrive in 20 days and only then will I be able to give you my feedback. I have read that many speak well and others speak ill of it. The omega 8500 is considered a super rep after some time I think vsf has done a similar or better job. I hope not worse. We are all aware of the fact that each piece is unique and may have some defects. This happened with so many super replicas
No. Think about how many have sold in the last three months. Ow many problems have you read posted?

I’m telling you right now, mostly the only news people hear is bad news. People don’t post when it works, only when it doesn’t.
They must be selling several hundred of each model ever month.

My Blue 8900 AT is without Rattle? I checked it but 0 Rattle.
btw:
I was at the KaDeWe (a luxury shopping center in Berlin) today and there is also an omega shop.I asked them for the Gray AT to find out if the dw is gray. And i swear to God... it was white. To 100% white. I asked him and he said only "Some older Versions are White and some are Gray. But both is possible".

I have had my dark blue for about three weeks now. I can confirm that the rotor/movement is silent and everything lines up. I’ve only worn it on the rubber strap and it feels good. The only issue I had was with the stitching on the strap that I reported a few pages back. Otherwise all good, well recommended!

No Problem. I ordered the Gray One now.
I tried to make a Picture of it for the Community but my Cam is not the best And the seller was not happy about it. So its not the best Picture. But maybe you Guys can see it was really white and only the shadow make it a little bit darker/Gray now. But i swear it was to 10000% white:
Maybe with zoom you can see it better
Really? Of all things that is important to you? Whether it is 25k or 28k which you can't tell anyways, that is what is important to you?

and during the weekend I saw in 2 different stores in Singapore this model with gray DW.
Probably they produced both...initially with white and lately with gray DW. Just guessing...

I think that's right. I think the White One is an older Version and the Gray One the newest. (Like my Omega Seller said)
Man you never know there are some pretty crazy guys here on the forum expecting pretty much the gen for 300 bucks from China. But all good.
You can tell for sure. I’m not saying it’s a deal breaker but I’m confident I could call out the rep based on its sweep

Can anyone comment on the dark blue in real life. It almost appears black in a lot of the pictures I've seen. I can't tell if its just the pictures or if the dial is actually that dark.
