I think vsf are too rush to release too much models now, so they make too many flaws on the watch. It's not good vsf....

I think you are wrong. It is not about anything other than their new movement. They have this new toy and they ARE going to show it off everywhere they can.

In due time they will come back and work on other things, but for now it is all about the movement.

Just to be fair, the new movement is pretty awesome and just that by itself is a HUGE step in the right direction for Omega reps

it is hard to decide which one to buy between the orange marker and the silver marker.

I have another question for the experts.
The word Seamaster on the dial looks red for me on all pictures. Shouldn’t that be orange? The tip of the second hand is orange as it should be.
Is it this the other way round as on the LMPO where the print on the dial is red (right) and the tip is orange (wrong)?

So are you saying that this looks red to you? lol.

Reps are now so good I'm unable to tell them from Gen. The movement looks very well finished. I like the price I thinks it's very reasonable.

Noob pearl was 1:1 to genuine, this has different silver surrounding on it. Don't think I don't like this rep, it is just the couple of things others have made right and VSF has not. Pearl and possibly date window edges on 45.5 mm version. I hope it is just because the dealers have been lazy shooting pictures and they have presented 42 mm pictures only.

they got only 42 mm so far, so no one could make the real 45 photos yet :) lets wait for it.

Pearl looks good in this picture from trusty in my opinion. I'm wearing my gen right now and the pearl is so damn tiny in reality that you'd need a binocular to spot a difference in the silver ring.

I’m still hesitating, wondering if thickness of 16mm will be too Big for 6.5” wrist.....

I tried on the gen back in 2012.. Didn't like how heavy it was and how tall it sat on my 7" wrist. Freakin skyscraper. I understood then why Daniel Craig refused to wear it in Skyfall for his action scenes in Istanbul because of it's weight, so much so that Omega had to do a custom, one of a kind titanium one for him to wear that looked similar, but lighter. The titanium watch worn in the film has since been auctioned off at Christies. A lil Bond watch trivia there for you..

Hah. Yes it’s thick....skyscraper. Lol.

I had the gen 8500, 43.5mm but i liked the height....even on my 6.8” wrist. It’s depends on your taste really. If the strap is not adjusted perfectly the watch would sit on my wrist bone and rock about a little...which was a little annoying.

I have a gen 2500 version as well and that is perfect in terms of case size and thickness IMO:

I also owned the gen 45mm version.....now that just looked ridiculous on my small wrist.

Just placed an order for the vsf 42mm with orange accents....let’s see how good it is.

Does anyone know if the 42mm 2500 is still available at any TD? I am also worried about the thickness, whereas the old is around 14mm

Cheers

Do you guys think (without having seen it in the flesh yet) that the crystal is still milky as the V6f miyota version was a couple of years back?

I had the v6f crop and agree the crystal was milky to a point where it rendered the watch unwearable.

My Old v6f:

I recently bought a VSF SM300 Spectre (which also has the same generation clone movement) and the crystal has amazing clarity....on par with gen.

Therefore I would like to think that the new vsf PO also has a good crystal.
