cougar1 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Disappointing, only seeing this now. I seriously hope this wonky dial marker problem is a small batch, corrected quickly and not going to be an ongoing issue. Reminds me of BP qc, but a little worse. Shame to put such great work into the watch and then mess up on the most obvious part. ...more reason why I hate getting involved in this whole preorder/first batch stuff too often, it never seems to go smoothly.

sergio789 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 that is alarming... mine is supposed to leave conveyor belt as we speak. Will watch out as a hawk for all those skewed bits and pcs. 12 seems to be the major contributor, as it is rotated clockwise, O is encroaching on S... and there is potentially the "fading" disaster as well. maybe I should change my order pronto to EXPII.

Get the new Omega SMP ceramic. It has none of those issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougar1 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 They are improving a little, someone else post new qc over on other forum, much better, 9 marker a little skew but much better than first lot overall: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 That hour hand is still asking for trouble. After a hit or bump that baby will scratch up your lovely gloss dial. There is just too little clearence if you ask me. Wonder why they could not manage a normal hand-dial clearence. Checked the H factory CrPo and the new Seamaster and they are all perfectly spaced.

There is just too little clearence if you ask me. Wonder why they could not manage a normal hand-dial clearence. Checked the H factory CrPo and the new Seamaster and they are all perfectly spaced. I'm wondering about this as well, what is the reason for this? I thought they were usual standard 2824 clones ...ala V5 PO/UPO etc. Wonder if they used a batch with low cannon pin/hour wheel or do the hands wrong or is that the standard clearance? It does looks way to close, lots of potential binding problems. Edit, okay see what you mean it is the dial clearance itself, dial sitting too high?

Rolexman Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 ..... dial clearance itself, dial sitting too high? Most likely the hour hand sitting too low. The canon pinion supports the minute hand. The hour wheel slides over the canon pinion. So either both canon pinion and hour wheel should be taller or they should have made the hands differently. I have seen gen Omega Constellation (hour) hands with sort of a "neck" creating extra spacing because the hour wheel on the cal. 1111 is too low as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougar1 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Some nice pics from ericb196 over on Rwi/Rg, not sure he is on here so just thought I'd add them here for anyone who has not seen them. It really looks good, when the dial mishap is fully corrected (shouldn't be too difficult ) ...it should then be a cracker, this one looks great!

ajminla Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Unfortunately my watch's bracelet had a problem and broke in a half day. I would be very careful when opening the clasp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
