Here's a short review and some high res pictures of the VSF Omega SMP I received this week from Lucy. Beside a slight misalignment between bezel and bezel insert, everything's great. Not sure if I'll even fix the insert, as Lucy went through multiple watches that were a lot worse and even the gen SMP sometimes has this misaligned bezel issue. The watch itself is done really well: hands are executed nicely apart from minor imperfections of the blue paint finish, dial print and markers are good and the date wheel is spot on. The brushed and polished surfaces are on a high level, although some polished surfaces on the case look a little wonky under high magnification. Nothing that anyone would ever notice in real life. ven the bracelet is really good, but I'll still give it the oil bath treatment to bring it up to 100%. The clasp adjustment works smoothly, although I never need the small fold-out piece of the SMP. The watch runs perfectly in time and power reserve is good.

If anyone has more questions - that's your problem... :p On to the pictures!

You should definitely get it. The bracelet's not ARF-great, but 95% with just a liiiittle screakyness that calls for an oil bath...

Thanks for the pictures! What was the material you used to take these?
I am waiting for mine, and it's soooo long when you finally decided you want one.

I am a bit surprised, the Youtube video with the comparison between rep and gen showed more flaws in macro shots, for example on the dial. I cannot wait for mine to arrive, but with UK triangulation, it is soooo long.

Update: after wearing the watch for several days in a row, it's running at +3.5s per day. Quite impressive...

lumentin The VSF models will have a higher tolerance than an Omega, so you can obviously receive a watch with some more or less flaws.

Wandered away from Reps for several years but came back to see how things had progressed... this one grabbed me hard.
Got my QC pics about 12 hrs ago from a TD i've dealt with multiple times over the years.

Hoping it'll be on my wrist soon.

Beautiful watch! Any particular reason why you went with the silver dial over blue ?
