On his site...

 

Here's the QC pics. I know it's not exactly kosher to post the pics, but I figured that everyone would be dying to see them, so I'll bend the rules just this time...

 

As an aside, anyone know what the thing is in the last picture?

 

Pictures in next post.

Anyone see any glaring errors? Looks pretty good to me!

Nice.

is it just me or is the "OMEGA" + Logo on the dial slightly tilted?

[ww12345]

I don't know - I think that's just an illusion since the minute hand is at a weird angle and the bezel is turned slightly. I don't think so, though... I turned my iPod so that the 12 was straight up and down and the tilt didn't look as bad, so fingers crossed that it's just an illusion.

Anyone know what that last machine is? I can't for the life of me figure it out. It's not a second timegrapher, is it? It looks like a non-wet pressure tester...

[Pontiaddict]

Ask Angus, but I agree I believe it is for pressure testing the case.

[Krabbenkoenig]

Yep, it's a so called "dry pressure tester"

 

If you scroll down to about 2/3 you can see a similar machine.

"First I take the watch to the dry testing machine. This machine uses vacuum and pressure to test the watch by measuring the deflection of the case. I use the diver program that starts with a test a -0.7 bar vacuum, then performs a second test at a +10 bar pressure"

[ww12345]

Ah, so is that mean it is actually water resistant to some degree?

[Krabbenkoenig]

Yes.

PT states >50m, so at least you can go swimming with it.

[secfincorp]

Received mine today. Very nice had to run to a meeting will post a pic tonite.

If you're asking if that's a gen ..

I don't think so..

This is a gen 8602 movement:

Ya but mine is a late 2011+ this one looks old.

[Rolexman]

Wrong topic Joseph but your watch is FAKE non the less.

[Krabbenkoenig]

I'd also say rep.
No Si mainspring and wrong rotor bearing.

PLUS the Wednesday is not centered.

Btw. Start an own thread, this is about the new seamaster 300.

your watch has an eta 2824 with a rotor made to look like the 8602

 

the balance bridge is also different then what omega would put in their seamaster and the movement plate has no omega engravings, just generic eta ones

[Josephblack88]

Oh i see, is there a look alike movement to match authentic one?
