Not sure about flashy, but defiantly a summer watch

Looks good not sure if I love or hate the color combo to be honest would have to put on, but wear in good health! It's yours not mine................

Yes. It takes no more then 2min. I'll post more photos when I receive it. Thanks.

This is from Angus. Not sure about the rest.

Thought so. Thank you.

With these Montauks being such hot property, it would have to be really flawed to reject one.

Agreed! BUT any reason why I should reject?

Bingo! As some advice, when you wind the watch, be careful that your thumb does not "rub off" off the black paint from the number 6. This happened to me and I had to re-paint it. Enjoy!

Great advice, Thanks!!!

The first watch was automatically rejected by the TD after I explained to him my concerns. Please see the 2nd round of QC photos of the new 029. I honestly think it is perfect.

"6" on the bezel seems perfect

no visible/major scratches

cyclop appears to be aligned

"6" & "9" on the dial appears to be the correct ones

Perfect CG

I think I hit the jackpot on this one. What do you think?

I'm about to receive my 029v2 (2nd round) QC photos... holding fingers

Simple and quick question.

I intend to send my watch to a modder to replace the rep with gen bezel. Will the Omega OEM fit the UPO 45mm (non chrono)?

Thanks.

Yes a chipped/gouged bezel is deal breaker. If he didn't send clarification photos then you were probably correct in its existence.

Agreed.

Which of "your issues" did you reject the watch on?

I sent the concerns I had to the dealer, thinking he will send me more detailed photos, but he automatically rejected the watch and told me he is looking for a new one.

In general, #1 bothered me the most and because all the other minor issues it accumulated to be a no no.

When I sent the TD my issues he automatically apologized and told me he will replace the watch and send new QC photos - great service & communication.

Will keep you posted in the next few days upon receipt of the new watch QC photos.

rogerthat & Jkay,

Thanks for your time & expert advice!

I received my QC photos from our TD.

I have a few specific questions/concerns that hopefully our pam experts can chime in and help me out as well as our community.

1. "6" number at the bezel appears to chipped and missing some black paint (see first 3 photos). This kinda bothers me.

2. Small scratch/ding above the "22" (see 2nd photo)? It doesn't appear to be a reflection/dirt

3. How is the cyclop alignment and AR on it, I can't really decide.

4. Is this a single or double AR?

5. How are "6" & "9" on the dial, it looks like an improvement over the v1, correct?

6. Black spot below the CG screw (3rd photo), I hope it is only a reflection/dirt

7. CG cut out looks perfectly squared and pretty flush.

8. Strap is a little scratches, but I don't mind.

9. +/- 10 seconds per day does not bother me, i'm ok with that.

Please help me with above concerns & thanks for looking!

Please help me with above concerns & thanks for looking!

Thanks.

Angus is the dealer for this watch and is my go to dealer.

Just thought I'll document the best part of this this hobby.

All photos taken with my iPhone 4s, ENJOY...

I want to buy a quality spring bar tool that i'll be able to have a bracelet/strap replacement easiest as possible!

I have never changed any straps by myself and the Bergeon 6825 ($139) appears to be the right solution for all of my purposes.

1. Will I be able to swap all type of straps or only bracelets?

2. For my UPO and future bracelets should I purchase the regular 6825F (1.3mm) or the 6825FF (1.1mm)?
