lanikai Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 The Omega Speedmaster Date has arrived. 1. white dial with black sub dials 2. 07 color release ... black dial with white sub dials 3. Laquer White and Red Vintage Logo Omega domed crystal different shots of dials to show concentric ring differences.. inner rings check out .. for more detail for a little more detail in the rings Edit: I stated earlier that the font on the subs were incorrect.. this is not so.. the sub dial font is very accurate.. this was replicated from the genuine timepiece... sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused serial numbers on underside of lug .. numbers on the underside of bracelet comparison in size with PO.. the inner rings on the sub dials seem more noticable on the Vintage Red.. then the white and finally the black is not really noticed. .. so if your into the "rings" as a visual.. then take notice of the difference when the light bounces off the dial..meaning the difference in the definition in the subs and dial itself due to the color and the rings the date font is smaller than the genuine but the black with white numerals appears to "look" thicker on some numerals crystal is single AR... being used to screw down crowns it was a bit tedious to pull out the crown.. We'll see what type of power reserve this timepiece has.. but i would say. it definately needs a trip to ziggy.. i wonder if Ofrei has the genuine dils for this model?/ lordrasta.. if you see this can u comment??.... definately needs the genuine crown .. the speedmaster date may not have the appeal of some other Omega chrono's .. but I'll take accuracy to a chrono with dead subs... IMHO.. One of the Omrega pro's will do this better.. this is just a preview and pics of the different dials for you all there is the silver and black dials remaining thanks, lanikai for a 40 mm watch it has very good weight.. I would have to say the Panda dials are looking really good .. the all silver must be awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slai Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Finally! I'll have to pick up a silver dial one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB7 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Wow very nice man!! The silver with black subdials is my favorite, I think I might just have to get 1 Overall i'd say these speedmasters are very accurate..I think you can get the ETA dw from cousins or watchpart and it would be perfect, but the current date font is pretty good..Wear them in the best of health!

Thanks for your write-up and the photos!!! should these be d-ar or is that just a personal choice?.. it would look awesome but the specs on the genuine call for just anti-reflective coat... is the genuine doubled?? it would definately change the overall look too tired to do any detail stuff.. and there are far more members qualified to go into detail.. but thanks for the acknowledgement DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Great stuff! Thanks for the pictures How about the date font? The black/white date wheels, do they differ? How are the "1"s? Are they still using the same poor Asian date wheels, with bad font? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Grate pics lanikai.The black dial with silver subdials is a drop dead gorgeous. I believe the black dial/silver subs wa the 07 new colour release.. soon to be on another repicated watch. @kenmasters.. no doubt, the colours are incredibly accurate.. just wish they got the font on the vintage dial correct.. but man cannot have everything..but still fun to try..

Cheers! the genuine font is just a bit thicker... i think Lello can do a better job with the DW if we had at least 15 orders (i believe) .. I think i'll email and ask.. just out of curiosity.. .. if the eta DW is spot on then no need to bother ... what do U think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i'll email and ask.. just out of curiosity.. .. if the eta DW is spot on then no need to bother ... what do U think? I think the gen uses an ETA DW. Does the rep DW have the little tick on the top of all the "1"s, or only on the date "1" and "11"? it is common for rep DW's to have all the "1"s ticked at the top, when the ETA versions do not....

letter Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Very nice... Here is the gen(all black) gen Few difference with the dial...30 and the 60 are too big, Omega speedmaster auto chrono writing/positioning is slightly different. I will be getting one soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! the ticks are on all the "1"s... not just the 1 and 11.... so i guess the ETA DW it is then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 @lanikai: Are you sure the subdial font is incorrect on the black dial / red subdial version? It uses different subdial font from the other versions, and when I compare it to this factory photo, it looks quite accurate to me. Very good actually. Or perhaps I'm missing something?
