VSF will release 4 Crpo with their 8500 super clone movement

[swozrep]

Not sure what to do from here, was hoping someone can give me some advice.
I bought a VSF CRPO from ChazingTime and received these QC images

and then was sent this video after I pointed out some crooked markers

When I received the watch, I did not receive my rubber bracelet, just the steel.
And then I also noticed that there is this big spec of silver right beside the Omega logo that was not visible in any of the QC photo or the video.
The second hand was placed exactly where the spec was, hiding it from view. Not sure if Chazing deliberately did this or not.
This spec is visible in almost every angle, and I can see it with my eyes from 2-3ft away.


I'm not sure what to even expect at this point. I sent Chazing an email regarding my missing rubber band and the this spec that was not visible in any QC photos, but I don't expect them to offer a resolution.

You just have to open the watch and clean it.
I've cleaned one already (it had the hands with greasy marks).

You can't expect a perfect watch.
If you want close to perfection, you must pay for a gen.

Take it to a watchmaker and he can clean your watch in 5 min.
I dont see the need to send it back to China because of this.

Cheers

Yeah I agree. Not worth the hassle and time it would take to send it back.

I just got my QC photos, and I'll be asking my TD the following. Do you guys agree that these are valid concerns?

These dust specks (and hopefully not ding/scratch) are present in all QC photos. As for the centering issues, I'm not experienced to tell whether they are just from camera angles or if they really are as significantly off as they appear on photos.

It looks looks specs of dust.
Ask only for that. All the rest seems very good.
The alignment is good - the 3 and the 9 are good, and it's just the angle

Cheers

Thanks kobe24 for all these news. I do have a question however. Is there any information as to why VSF will not do the 42mm Planet Ocean with Blue dial and Titanium case? It's not different than other 42mm Planet Oceans other than the Titanium instead of Steel.

Hi guys
Received the QC photos today.
What do you think about the pearl - isn’t it too small? It’s 45.5mm from VSF
thanks

 

[Mille M]

It seems so.
But it is well centered and all the rest seems good...

 

[Kolosovsky]

But on PureTime store photos it looks the same...

Andrew uploaded both 42 and 45 orange models and the pearl is not too impressive. Fat silver ring reminds me OMF orange insert, brrrr.
Shape of the pearls in the gray ceramic inserts is more gen.

You may be right, I used a gen as the reference point.
No longer have a gray VSF insert but just added a photo of a gen orange. A diameter of the silver ring, its width is different, automaticaly the diameter of the sapphire is smaller.
Could be it is the same pearl as a pearl in gray insert, now the black backround makes the silver ring to pop more.

OMF is not even close with gigantic size bezel numbers, F*cked up pearl and wrong color on seamaster. The only think better on the OMF is the matte grey bezel.
