mrbobdobalina Posted December 1, 2014 Report Posted December 1, 2014 The blue looks amazing. I have a black dial on order. @rusky: That Donerix strap looks really nice.
luc717 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks for sharing Ihooq. The matte blue on the 300 dial is incredible, so different to almost any other dial I can think of. The blue Speedmaster is incredible too, think that will have to be on the list for when it gets repped Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
KingBach Posted December 1, 2014 Report Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Also, here's a lume-shot.. I bought mine from Andrew @ Trusty-Watch The pearl lume isn't correct, but the minute hand is. Big mistake buying from trusty time ... Andrew is a crook Edited December 1, 2014 by KingBach
ww12345 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Posted December 2, 2014 Any idea how to get the bezel insert straightened? Do you have to take the bezel off?
Mike on a bike Posted December 2, 2014 Report Posted December 2, 2014 Well ,looking good gents may have to jump in and judging from the wrist sizes someone will surely have a link or two to spare. Ihooq with you on the two sub dial speedies , just do not work for me either.

mrbobdobalina Posted December 2, 2014 Report Posted December 2, 2014 Any idea how to get the bezel insert straightened? Do you have to take the bezel off? How far is yours off? If it is off by just a little you might be able to get it to align by doing a reverse turn to use what little back play there is in the bezel to help bring it into line. If not, you need to remove the bezel insert and reinstall with it aligned correctly.
ww12345 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Posted December 2, 2014 It's not off by much, but enough that the back play won't fix it. How would I remove the insert? Does the whole bezel have to come off?
KingBach Posted December 2, 2014 Report Posted December 2, 2014 I'm tempted to get this watch. I just wanted to know How do you guys get comfortable with the movements period I think that the movements tend to get inaccurate sometimes is this true? Are you not fussed about the accuracy! Also can you service/regulate miyota movements?
KingBach Posted December 2, 2014 Report Posted December 2, 2014 No didn't touch it. Might be just the water on the bezel and/or the camera angle. The bezel is more shiny if you look at it straight on. E Hey, just wondering which td did you buy from and how lobd was delivery?
mrbobdobalina Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 It's not off by much, but enough that the back play won't fix it. How would I remove the insert? Does the whole bezel have to come off? I am not sure how this bezel is assembled. If it is attached using 2 sided tape then you just remove the insert carefully and then reattach. You can soak the bezel + insert or heat it up to help loosen the glue.
ww12345 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 Ok, will try that. Is there any danger of scratching the insert? Like if I try to pry it out with a razor blade or something similar should that do the trick?
mrbobdobalina Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 Ok, will try that. Is there any danger of scratching the insert? Yes, or bending/breaking it. I'd verify how the bezel + insert is constructed before doing anything.
PAM00441 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 Is that the blue version your trying out. I wonder how long till or if they rep the other versions. Today I received my strap from Donerix and I must say it's how the watch will stay for me. In reality his pics were what sold the 300 to me, so I'm happy that it's the complete package now. Well perhaps a gen buckle from the omega store, who knows where the constant fettling might take you in this hobby - Very pleased! Really like the strap! Looks great!

ww12345 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Ok, fresh from relume, and bright white does not really work for the watch.
luc717 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Noooo, haha. What are you going to do? Just got mine. Review to follow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited December 10, 2014 by luc717
spazthecat Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Ok, fresh from relume, and bright white does not really work for the watch. Just curious, but who did the relume? Did you have it relumed in white rather than yellow/off-white? I was considering getting mine re-lumed as the existing lume, is really weak.
ww12345 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 I had cwazy do it. I figure it's kind of both of our faults - I didn't specify the tan lume but figured he'd match it. It does shine like a torch now though.
