VSF Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Worldtimer Green

[watchfarma]

Hi guys, just picked this up recently and thought I might share some close up pics and me in the process of changing the strap

Here she is! The steel bracelet is really beautiful but seeing as I already have the blue faced one on steel, I figured to put this on a rubber strap. Plus to match the green ceramic bezel

Actually, sorry, I lied I don't have pics of me in the actual process of removing the bracelet...but since it's off, it's a little easier to take shots:

Some closer shots from various angles; detail on the map/globe on the dial is very impressive. Alignment of the 24 hour ring is good, though not 100% perfect. More on that later.

Yes, though the real deal is also "just" machine finished, I still feel the Côtes de Genève en Arabesque pattern. while probably not matching the "quality" of hand finished movements, is perhaps "prettier" and creative in many ways

Engravings and etches are clean with no burnt marks

The strap in green was very hard to find and not cheap either, but I wanted it!!! haha For those interested, I bought this on Taobao.

But I suppose the quality is very good and worth it in many ways; nice thick rubber, doesn't feel cheap, impressions are solid with no rough edges. Engravings are also very detailed and I'd imagine, gen-like.

Not a fault of VSF, but more of an opinion on the original Omega design; the fittings and design look so well suited to a quick release/quick change system but sadly is just a normal springbar system. A real shame in my opinion especially with so many on the market who are doing it nowadays.

But still very very pleased with the outcome In real life, there seems to be a very very slight colour difference. But as with some gen reviews I've watched, the colour matches very very well with the bezel.

Obligatory wristie ;D

A side by side comparison with the SBF Green Semaster Diver 300M. I heard the SBF is quite colour accurate to gen? So, this is just for viewing pleasure's sake of comparing the different greens I guess haha

And then a side by side with the older blue version:

I'd grab a blue rubber strap for the blue version too to mix it up a bit and maybe to match the dial a bit better occasionally, but...there you go...no quick change system and removing spring bar bracelets just ain't that fun or smooth sometimes

I will note, while the 24 hour ring numbers still aren't perfectly aligned (based purely on pics on the net - so maybe the gen is also like that), they are a lot better than the older blue version, which may or may not be better implemented now with newer batches as this blue one was from a few years ago now....

The blue version's globe does feel a little more "glisten-y", so I don't know which or both is more accurate to the genuine though both are extremely beautiful!

Overall, an absolutely spectacular piece which I think is one of the best value reps on the market - really really I mean, rep movement with the same functions and quality and finishing for this type of money...we live in a very lucky era...and world lol

Yeah, really stunning pieces IMO especially for the price. I really don’t think you can go wrong with these, some might feel the dial is a bit busy or weird but I’m loving them. I really like the summer blue colours! But I don’t wanna get another of the same so I’m looking at that new Seamaster 300 Heritage in Summer Blue

Can you send me the link for the straps been searching and can’t find them

Can you send me the link for the straps been searching and can’t find them

Hey man, yeah sure! However...it's a little complicated...
As I mentioned, I bought it off Taobao (chinese eBay type thing):

https://m.tb.cn/h.gUu3wjV4pYBZHit?tk=kpafWBTVL0L

So...:
1. Make sure you can or have friends who can read chinese, although depending on how talented you are, I suppose you can intuit a lot of things with just pictures and buttons haha

2. A lot of the sellers mostly only send within China, so again, you may need to ask friends if they can forward it or organise a shipment forwarded.

So...I'd highly recommend...maybe try and ask a TD first? If they can't source it from a factory as such, see if they're willing to buy it off Taobao and then ship it to you? This is probably the fastest way...

If you can't get any luck with the above, maybe let me know? I can try and help

On a brighter note, it's come down a bit in price since I bought it though

To anyone who's also interested, I found another one of the green straps available on Aliexpress!
Note however, this is not where I originally purchased mine so I can testify to the quality. Anyway, just another option for those who might find buying off Taobao a little difficult/complicated
As always I recommend entrusting this to a TD, but we all know sometimes they can't find some things too
