ustmisha Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 now we know why this version went on clearence so quckly... just an incorrect batch this round. Hmmmm, wrong pearl lume color? Not a deal breaker for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusky158 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) now we know why this version went on clearence so quckly... just an incorrect batch this round. See that's the thing everything else on my incoming is the correct version - so I'm guessing they've stuck on the excess bezels hoping to get rid of them - which ain't a problem for me.

mattheis Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 same here, Ill take the discount, not too worried about the pearl color. Just ordered for 249, cant go wrong with that, especially with increasing prices the last few years... Ordered just incase there is no V2, dont want to miss out like i did the SOH's...

Donerix 2.0 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 The lume isn't really that great on these as far as I can see (had to charge mine to see that I have a green pearl). As for shock resistance: the watch hasn't left my wrist for weeks and I do occasional construction work with no problem. Best watch I have had in a while IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Trusty-Time (Andrew) assured me he has and can get the correct lume as opposed to all one colour which is posted on his website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww12345 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Yeah, I'm going to have mine relumed. However, the watch is really well constructed for a rep. Like Donerix said, it has pretty decent shock resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusky158 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) This is good to know as I like to not worry about what I'm doing whilst wearing my watches. If it is a sandwich dial in construction I'd imagine it'll be good for re-luming that way no overspill will show up on the black edges of the indexes. It'd look outstanding with proper superlinova.

508-Fanatic Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Not bad for an Omega. Wonder if they will do different colour variations like the Black Bay Yes indeed they have gold two-tone, and blue I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww12345 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 One more plus IMHO (more about the gen features than the rep) but their version of the glide lock is night and day superior to the Rolex version. It is incredibly comfortable and easy to adjust even without taking it fully off your wrist. Take note - that's coming from a hardcore Rolex fan...

Derek Mc Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Just got mine today from Kuvarsit, a fully corrected version the only give on this one being the under collar area of the bezel in satin rather than polished. Pics will come in daylight tomorrow but the Miyota beautifully detailed, and apart from a slightly noisy oscillating rotor this is utterly flawless and wear incredibly nicely.

Derek Mc Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Well here it is! I was unable to release the lugs to bathe the bracelet in WD40 as such it feels dry and not at all Omega-like but this will be done today I hope! So tell me what you think Comparison shot to a GMT Master II for size and width comparison The omega is simply stunning to look at the movement is almost flawlessly replicated, the case is perfect only the tiniest of bezel alignment issues that I will resolve myself and as this is one of the true "keepers" I will not have to worry about selling it etc etc but then again 99.9% of people wouldn't notice but my anal retentive nature cant fail to see it. I plan to log off and try to get the bracelet off and lub'ed Edited November 15, 2014 by Derek Mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ustmisha Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Looks excellent! A truly stunning piece! What's your wrist size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Mc Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Looks excellent! A truly stunning piece! What's your wrist size? I have about a 7 1/4" wrist. Update too, I simply could not disengage the lugs from bracelet, so, head wrapped in two very tight pieces of clingfilm, gentle spray vertically onto the two lengths of bracelet work it in, wash it off and what a transformation silent and very silky. I have always had a bit of a "thing" with Omega I bought the sold very quickly a CrPO,,, I wanted to fall in love with the brand and finally have the watch that does that!

rusky158 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Good to hear Derrick mine woulda been here yesterday but for address issues on label - sorted now - redirecting on Tuesday I'll Have to enjoy your pics for now. I'm hoping my spring bars don't give me the grief you got as I'm planning in putting on a donerix leather once it's made:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping my spring bars don't give me the grief you got as I'm planning in putting on a donerix leather once it's made:) Heh heh it is well worth the wait I am truly in love with this one. I still use the GMT as my work beater but for important meetings and such this is the go-to choice, the Breitlings will be the Summer chill workwear for now.

Donerix 2.0 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 The bracelet is a bit tricky to get off. Most springbar tools are a bit too wide to go the slots of the end links. I used a very small screwdriver and used it like a lever to push the shoulders of the springbars inward while pushing on the bracelet from the back. First only one springbar comes out. you have to maintain the pressure on the bracelet while working on the second one. Hope this helps. It's not all that hard - I did it at the airport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Mc Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Beyond excited to get mine... it's on the slow-boat from China apparently haha I have had so many watches in the past year bought, sold traded, from a Super Avenger to an A Lange & Sohne I have kept only a few (mainly on funds reasons to let me try more) however,,,, Of all teh watches all the styles this watch just feels incredible, if you have worn a Super Avenger and had the drama of people staring at it, wait till they get a load of this, this watch should be in the next Bond movie it is beyond normal superlatives truly simply gorgeous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
