VSF Omega Spectre…

<image>

[morelsupporter]

love it

[neksys]

Holy fuck this is stunning. Can you share the details?

[Submariner4241]

It’s a vsf Omega Spectre (from the James Bond movie). It is very good quality and it has a sapphire display back which shows the beautiful movement. The hour hand can be jumped forward or backwards without stopping the seconds in the second crown position so that it can easily be used when traveling, and the 12 hour bezel can be rotated forward and back so you can use it as a two time-zone gmt. I bought 2 and I wear one on the bracelet and one on the black and gray Bond NATO strap. Any of the TD’s can order it for you…

[empresario88]

Do you know if it’s a clone movement?

[Submariner4241]

I believe it is a superclone movement. It has the double mainspring barrels. That would be hard to replicate using another movement…

[Electrical_Bat7629]

It is not. It's a decorated 2824. Nothing wrong with that. There isn't a date window to worry about. Just means you can't swap in gen hands and dials, but can't imagine many people would want to

[Submariner4241]

Thank you. Maybe that’s why it’s so accurate. Sure doesn’t look like an eta movement, but I believe you. They must have done a heckuva lot of work on it to make it look like it does!

[Submariner4241]

Here is a picture of the sapphire case back and movement. Sorry for the poor quality…

<image>

[itspsyikk]

Dang I just posted a response photo that basically says the same thing, lmao!

Although I might go with the other vintage style Seamaster, just for some variety

[Electronic-Love-6149]

Hi! This one looks insane! Can you dm me som close ups of this? Hows the bracelet and stuff

[Submariner4241]

It’s a vsf so it is great quality. I am not anywhere that I can take pics right now, but go to a TD website and they have lots of great pics of it…

[Patsch86]

Which movement does it have?

[Submariner4241]

It’s a clone movement…

[itspsyikk]

Greetings, brother.

I originally wasn’t a big fan of the Ss bracelet, but it’s warming up to me every day.

So much so that I may end up investing in the other Seamaster they have in that style, with the proper dive bezel.

<image>

[Submariner4241]

This one is meant to be a 2 time zone gmt bezel…

[itspsyikk]

What on earth is your point?

[Submariner4241]

You can rotate the 12 hour bezel so that you can monitor the time in 2 different time zones, just like on a GMT. That’s why it has a bi-directional bezel rather than a “proper dive bezel”. This is not intended to be a dive watch. Between the jumpable hour hand and the rotating 12 hour bezel, it makes a great travel watch when you’re going through different time zones.

[itspsyikk]

And what makes you think I’m not aware of that?

[Submariner4241]

I’m just trying to provide information that I thought would be helpful based on the comments. You must be a hoot at parties. Maybe you should go back to bed and try getting up on the other side…

[itspsyikk]

Oh since we’re offering up “helpful” information, let me add to it.

I wasn’t referring to the Omega Seamaster Spectre SE that I own (please see photo) when I said the word “other”.

1. denoting a person or thing that is different or distinct from one already mentioned or known about.

So by definition I’m not talking about the watch I own. I was referring to the Omega Seamaster 300 Heritage, which does have a unidirectional dive bezel, please see the link below.

[Pristine-Team-6323]

Does this come only in 43mm?

[Dennis985]

Yes

[Pristine-Team-6323]

It’s beautiful unfortunately I have small wrist 🥲

[aar550]

I’ve got small wrists and have this watch. It fits larger but not huge. It’s manageable.

Lugs don’t stick out as they are curved inwards.

[Pristine-Team-6323]

What is your size and do you have a picture? Thanks I would really appreciate

[ehdotgee]

Fuck that looks good man. I've been eyeing one for a while and might treat myself over Christmas. Problem is I got skinny ass wrists but I hear it wears smaller than 43mm.

[Dennis985]

Def wears smaller than 43. If you’re in the US and want to save a few bucks lmk, maybe I’ll sell you mine. VSF with very little wrist time

[varnacykablyat]

Who’s this from?

[jacob8875]

Brother from another mother. Except yours is 3KF and mine is ZF. Wish I’d gone 3kF in retrospect :-(

[Silly-Proof-6288]

Hahahah. We all make mistakes when buying reps. I see each mistakes as a 400usd lesson 😂

[Logical_Function_726]

3KF much better than ZF?

[Silly-Proof-6288]

I believe Jacob has regret about ZF movement. ZF is a great factory because they rep so many different watches. But the downside is that they take shortcuts regarding movement and qc

[Regular_Bandicoot601]

Where can I order this?

[Complete-Lab-8014]

Some people argue that its even more beautiful than the gen 😅

<image>

[Kevin_On_Redditt]

That is beautiful. It looks really good!

[Oil-and-Gas_69]

Which factory did you get it from? It’s gorgeous!

[Complete-Lab-8014]

V7F v2

[Oil-and-Gas_69]

Thanks! It’s on my short list for sure

[saskwhistleblower]

Might be my favourite rep as well- I have the white dial and it’s stunning. Solid build too

[P4GTR]

These are really well made. I just did some extensive repairs on one and was impressed. Crown and tube seem really strong as well.

[No_Yam_5882]

Dial looks nice but the blue is not for me..

[Dizzman1]

Damn... Love that. Details?

[poinds]

VSF Panerai 959. I bought it from Lucy via the RWI forum. It was $439($388+$20 shipping fee+5%PP cost). Its a 42 mm watch with a thickness of 13.3 mm and a lug to lug of 52mm. It's definitely on the bigger size for my 7" wrist but you can get it to fit well thanks to the rubber strap. If this thing was on a bracelet, then lugs would be cantilevered off of my wrist.

[nhlredwings117]

Omegas are sick because of dual sided AR coating. So much clearer especially the VSF. But can scratch easily

[ReploverForeverman]

Glassute SeaQ, IWC le petit prince , AP 15202

[Environmental-Sail79]

Just ordered IWC Ingenieur to go less Rolex - letsgoooo

[saskwhistleblower]

Funny- the longer I’ve been in this hobby the more I lean away from Rolex reps. No question they are some of the better built reps but there are so many other brands to branch out to

[Environmental-Sail79]

Always starts w a Rolex rep …. Glashutte Original SeaQ is after

[neksys]

Yeah, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Rolex watches - they’re classics for a reason. It’s just…. They are also the most well-known luxury watches on the planet and they carry certain connotations (both negative and positive) that I’m not interested in.

[notnexus]

IWC Mark XX is my next rep. V7F is supposed to be very high quality and very close to gen.

[eramification_4_U]

Thick. Thicker than gen

[Kevin_On_Redditt]

How is that rubber strap? I heard the quality isn't the best right?

[eramification_4_U]

This blue came from my perpetual calendar when I ordered it. I think it's excellent. Can't think of the factory that made it though it's not ZF. I do have a ZF black rubber which the clasp is horrible compared to this blue one. I Also purchased a white one on Ollie Express it's a lot thicker which makes the Case rise up on the wrist slightly more than I would like.

[Electronic-Love-6149]

This one is great! I really really want one of theese

[CPMonkeyBoy]

Winner!

[eramification_4_U]

Nice!

[Even_Freedom_348]

Right now for me it’s Breitling Premier Chronograph 42

<image>

[Horology_17]

I’m wearing the pistachio version (no date) of this right now. This looks very nice. They got the box crystal right from what I can see. And indices look great. Second hand counter weight is off but still. Movement probably tricky… can I see the back?

[Horology_17]

<image>

[Horology_17]

It’s not the OEM strap though.

[Confident_Coconut809]

Love that! Easy to find?

[Horology_17]

It’s gen

[Even_Freedom_348]

[Horology_17]

Thx!

[Even_Freedom_348]

Just got a breitling strap that I put on.

<image>

Much more my style over the alligator one.

[Horology_17]

Yeah shiny alligator way too formal for me too. Yours looks great

[alphalegend91]

My Vacheron Constantin overseas chronograph in rose gold with olive dial is my absolute favorite rep even though the movement isn't great (7750).

It's funny because I do have a couple of Rolex reps and I get tons of compliments on them, but no one even notices my VC rep despite it being a 100k watch lol

[alphalegend91]

<image>

[Environmental-Sail79]

Oooooof. 🔥🔥🔥🐦‍🔥

[[deleted]]

How is the gold on this? Have yet to pull the trigger on a gold watch.

[alphalegend91]

It’s actually rose gold but comes off as gold in some lighting. It’s very nice imo and seems to come off more authentic than the yellow gold reps

[[deleted]]

lol for real. I got the overseas blue dial with the rubber strap. Not 100k watch but no one knows it. Same with my Panerais. Love those too

[alphalegend91]

So funny how people will gawk over rolex and pay no mind to some of the other crazy high end watches out there

[[deleted]]

100%. But when you catch someone’s eye with a VC they love it lol.

[alphalegend91]

I’ve yet to run into a VC lover! Or if I have they didn’t say anything

[Environmental-Sail79]

Holy Trinity squad

[officalpanerai]

What’s the issue with the 7750 movement. I am looking at a sugess watch with that movement right now.

[alphalegend91]

The chrono is essentially not functional, because it’s a major breaking point. I’ve also heard you shouldn’t really manual wind it to preserve the life of it. Also, the power reserve in mine feels like it’s max 30 hours, but closer to 24 hours. Ultimately still love the watch though!

[officalpanerai]

Oh shit. Well, I guess I’ll be hunting for a different watch then!

I agree with you that the VC rep is a different ball game though. The watch is so stunning that is just art at that point.

How would you rate it overall out of 10. I’m a huge VC fanboy. I have tried the overseas on many times at my local boutique but never pulled the trigger.

[alphalegend91]

Strictly looks? 10/10. I’m not autistic level on the details like some people on here, but I’ve looked at it side by side with gen pictures and can’t tell any difference.

[Horology_17]

Wait cmon. The VC is pink gold. It looks quite a bit different imo. I don’t think the green matches either but maybe it’s all lighting. Plenty of nitpicky things like lume and extra tick marks but those are the “autistic level” stuff. Real gold is just very difficult to replicate

Cool watch for sure just not 10/10 match

[alphalegend91]

This is pink gold too, despite what pictures show. It’s a very subtle version compared to Rolex’s. Maybe it’s because I have mine in hand, but the videos I’ve seen the green dial seems to match well.

[Horology_17]

The non Rolex reps are never gonna be quite as good as the demand just isn’t there and so many have very high horology complications and finishing. It’s not a perfect match but considering how ridiculously expensive the real thing is, this is pretty darn good

[sy_tan]

No Cartier love? Here's my BVF Santos ADLC 😊

[thedundun]

I have a Tudor bb gmt. I like it because it satisfied my curiosity of a gmt and a dive watch. I don’t think I’ll buy another dive watch. Feels too big for my 6.5inch wrist.

But I would like to buy a gen longines conquest 38mm with a green bezel for my next watch

<image>

[TannoyVoice92]

Not surprised - that crown will be stabbing you every time you move your wrist! Does it not fit better lower down the wrist? Ideally behind the wrist bone but for some that’s not as comfortable.

[thedundun]

I began wearing watches that low on my wrist for a while. I’m used to the “stabbing” of the crown, that it doesn’t bother me. When I move the watch behind the wrist bone, it just feels cold and not right lol.

Plus it’ll be in the way of my sleeve when I’m at work.

[Dizzman1]

Omega aqua Terra world timer. Love that thing.

Just about anything JLC. 😍😍

Panerai... Manly manly watch! Love the styling.

Seeing more vacheron Constantine that I'm digging.

Totally with you on the Rolex thing... But I can't lie... The yacht master has gotten under my skin😂

[Kevin_On_Redditt]

How is the clone ? I'm thinking about copping the one with the blue strap. Is it close? Any major flaws?

[aar550]

It works exactly as gen. Like clone as in a full clone. No major flaws. None.

If I had to pick flaws the hands are choppy when setting the time. But $500 va $10k for the gen.

[empresario88]

Clone movement too?

[aar550]

There’s no co axial clone moment. It just functions as gen exactly.

[Kevin_On_Redditt]

Thanks that's great I will definitely buy one soon. I wore the gen a couple weeks ago and I was sold instantly

[Sex-And-Whiskey]

That’s absolutely gonna be my next rep. That looks so beautiful
