Thoughts on this? The crown guards look alright or too low?

VSF Seamaster veterans - what are the red flags you always check for during QC? Particularly concerned about movement reliability and bracelet build quality on recent batches

This one doesn't have the new movement. It has an ETA clone.

That's a big plus in the long term.

Forgot to ask one question:
I am addicted to anti reflex coating on watches. Do you believe I would miss it on this Seamaster?

Thanks!

Ohh thats great! because i've been reading about they're going to put in the new 8806 clone movement on upcoming release of watches, personally i still prefer ETA for parts replacement.
It's nice to see a 8800/8806 Clone but servicing it and finding replacement will be really pain in the arse UNLESS they're willing to sell the movement to us individually which i doubt so.

It's a domed sapphire crystal. No matter how much AR you have on it, the glass will reflect something. If you are addicted to not seeing your crystal, then this watch is not for you.

That's exactly why I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
But that matte dial and insert...keep singing to me

I love mine. But I understand the hesitation.
