UmpaHimself Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Found those promo images of Craig with the bosses a big cringey, but that is a nice Seamaster! Pretty cool. How do you guys feel about wearing movie special editions or whatever? Prefer it or find it a bit tacky or what? Depends on the movie?Usually I'm 100% against any branding like that but in this case it's done very tastefully and I would have no problem wearing it.

hologramet Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Regarding the "v2" from Perfect-Clones:1 NATO much better, could have wished for a denser nylon configuration, like on a thick Phoenix MOD-strap, but... One can not have it all.2] What does the SS-bracelet look like? Cant find it mentioned in the text, and not in the pics... Included? If so still polished midlinks?3] And also... Is the crown finally correct? Because on the regular I know that the crown should be all polished, not semi-matte semi-glossy like it is. Maybe that isn't the case on SPECTRE-edition?

Maybe that isn't the case on SPECTRE-edition?I personally think it's silly to release an iteration and name it v2 based purely on an updated strap. The watch has some flaws that need addressing, like the bezel insert thickness and yes crown like you mentioned. It's more like a v1 watch with a v2 strap.

Pontiaddict Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Just unwrapped and installed the NATO.. This one came from Supermirrors (Sead) and I ordered early so it is the first strap without the Omega hardware. The bracelet has pcl, movement does have a very slight stutter and a noisy rotor, otherwise a very nice feeling watch. While it could be better I'm very satisfied, I would order it again without question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontiaddict Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 And quicker than you say it they have already produced a corrected Ver. 2, with an updated bezel, inner bezel and corrected hardware still supplied on a standard NATO:http://www.kuvarsit.watch/omega/seamaster/1-1-omega-seamaster-300-james-bond-007-spectre-limited-edition-from-kw/I never expected to see so many changes, so quickly completed.

ogladio Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Great news. That v2 is good enough for me. Ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pontiaddict Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) That was an interesting picture...it has since been replaced. But in review of KW and other TD's photos I have noticed there are some that have the new bezel & Strap, others have the first bezel with the new strap... we are in a period of transition between the two versions, so be wary.The easiest way to define the V2 is the numeral 5 on the bezel, look for that to determine which generation you are getting in your QC pix, I did this side by side, note the rounded portion and where it terminates. V.1 is inset: Edited December 17, 2015 by Pontiaddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pontiaddict Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Yes the large background image is the V.2 as posted at RWI:https://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/252228-OMEGA-Seamaster-300-“SPECTRE”-Limited-Edition?p=2558847&viewfull=1#post2558847Notice it is also identical to the Genuine, although the difference in the inner bezel is still substantial, here a Gen SPECTRE for reference, once you see the difference you can't un-see it: Edited December 17, 2015 by Pontiaddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Oh wow, what a great idea! so now I know, this is how you become Legend....Haha to be honest this is my first Omega. I am learning myself and the way I look at it, I don't mind having an inaccurate but customized inner bezel since the stock one is inaccurate anyway... Stick to your v1 "dinosaur", the difference (mainly the "5" on the bezel) is too insubstantial to warrant an update. Who looks at the "5" anyway?

Many brave have fallen to the classifieds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 For those wondering, gen (mounted) vs rep nato. The difference is salient and if you intend to keep the watch, invest in the gen nato strap. It's silky smooth and very finely woven.

JMC Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 After reading all about that 007Spectre "wannabe" versions...My suggestion would be to stay away from this "childish/toyish 007" edition, and go for the already existing , more consistent, SM300 rep, with a high quality gen omega nato buckle (if you like the sporty nato look).
