My first rep received, pretty pleased with it. From TT. Andrew has been a gent.
My camera isn't great so AIA for quality. Worth saying that the current batch from VSF for V4 hasn't got the black balance wheel, which was a little disappointing,, obvs not too much.
Happy with the detail. Bezel looks great, it doesn't feel the best when turning, not feeling particularly 'definite' in regards to clicks. A little bit of play also, just a little. Overall very good. Face and markers are very good.
The case is titanium, overall the watch feels pretty light. Must feel super light were it to have a titanium strap as well.
The strap is smooth, mobile and feels well made. Still SS with the V4. The clasp is solid, feels very secure and the markings are well defined. Getting the Omega logo on the end of the band was satisfying. The crown screws in and out well, though aware the threads can be an issue here, so I'm careful to not to overtighten.
I have a 19.5mm wrist (7 3/4 inch near as damn it). The strap is anchored at the 4th hole which means the the strap sits nicely into the clasp. Anything more that the 4th hole would mean another layer of strap in the mix.
The case back has a good snug fitting. Not entirely sure I trust the O ring so may replace with gen, if anyone knows the part number for this I'd appreciate it.
Definition of the marking inside and out are very good, pics don't do it justice really.
As mentioned this didn't come with the black flywheel in the movement. It's been running for 4 days now. On the first full day it lost 11 seconds, and I thought it would change a little as it settled down. Newly refurbed antiques clocks tend to do this. I'm a clock maker ( Antique clocks, I don't work on others watches, only my own)

Over the last two days it has lost 5 seconds which is very good for any automatic watch. Obviously early days, though it is a strong runner.
