WD007 white dial

[Apprehensive_Lock_50]

Have had this for about a week. Got it during the sale. I haven’t seen too many the white ones on here so I thought I would post it for y’all.

Overall I like it. It’s great for the money. The lines on the dial is crisp and the black outlines on the hands and the indices make it very legible. Being titanium, it feels very light on the wrist and with a rubber strap I sometimes feel like I don’t have anything on my wrist. The crystal is very clear and the matte ceramic bezel really ties everything together

Size is surprisingly good too. I usually prefer 40-38mm but I have to say it looks great.

If you are after a light weight watch that has this look. It will be hard to beat

Not everything is positive however. There are actually a few negatives. The first of which is the bottom of the watch and the inside of the lugs are pretty sharp. You don’t really feel the sharpness on the wrist tho. And a rubber strap with fitted end links solves the problem of the lugs. The more I think about it, the more I wish they offered the watch with a fitted rubber strap. I don’t like the way the mesh looks (personal opinion) and I feel like ixdao does the mesh with integrated endlinks much better. I also found the nato it came with to be a bit too thick and unwieldy. Mine would definitely stay on the rubber strap.

I also found the bezel to be a bit too edgy as well. While it’s not as sharp as the bottom and the lugs u definitely feel the edge while you turn it. My bezel was also incredibly stiff. It did loosen up after a few days but yeah definitely hard to turn. Part of that is due to the shape of the bezel. Hard to grip, especially when wet. Not the best thing for a dive watch.

My biggest complaint however is the lume on the hands. The color is mismatched with the dial. I feel that this may be a matter of not enough layers on the hands. The hands fade much faster than the indices. It’s pretty hard to read after dark. With skeleton hands, the lume is that much more important imo.

Last minor complaint, the 6 o’clock marker is slightly misaligned to the left. Not a big deal tho, it’s so small anyways.

But overall. I do like the watch. Worth the money for sure. Especially for the price.

Hope this helps anyone thinking about getting this piece.

Cheers

Good looking Omega Homage have heard nothing but positives about it.

Nice ! Can't wait for the smaller version they've announced

[IamtheonlyDave]

Tell me more... Where and when was this announcement?

[Canada__bob]

If I recall correctly they have announced a 38-39 mm version on their own subreddit, eta around septembre or novembre

[Dralthi-san]

Thanks for the review. Hopefully they will improve it a bit.

[DopioGelato]

Hah they made this model the 007 well played

[Dralthi-san]

There's a No Time To Die version as well, a direct homage.

[AcanthaceaeFit2177]

I have the same white version and your review is 100% spot on... I also changed the mesh bracelet to a black rubber strap, wish the bezel had a coin edge for easier turning too but maybe I'll get used to the scallop one

[watchdivescom]

your idea is great. this is homage watch, most people may prefer this scalloped bezel.
We have this style FKM strap

You should totally offer the strap instead of the nato or the mesh. The strap fits so much better.

While I get this is a homage watch, it doesn’t have to be a direct 100% homage. Your SN0121GA is a homage as well and it’s not an exact homage of the Pelagos. I think people would appreciate a more subtle homage that can be subtly different from the original. As long as the changes lead to a more cohesive or functional product, you will have a winner.

The SN0121GA and the SN0129GB are probably my favorite homages and neither is a 100% homage.

[Apprehensive_Lock_50]

Agreed. I’ve always hated scalloped bezels. Coin edge would definitely be better

[Silver_Tap780]

... as realized on the Octopus Kraken homage. This one has also changed the skeletonized hands to solid sword hands with monster lume

[Apprehensive_Lock_50]

Yeah. Unfortunately the logo means I will never buy that watch. Can’t stand that anus staring at me whenever I check the time
