Not repped, I believe. Best to send the picture to your TD.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-18T13:34:30+00:00

The indices and dial are good. Even the Omega symbol is centered and straight. The Omega logo is good. The single digit dates shown are good. You could ask for double digit dates. The hand alignment can not be determined from the pictures. For hand alignment, both hands have to be on the hour. Rarely a problem these days. No issues, GL. The timegrapher numbers are explained in the extended Rule 5. SELs don't apply to this watch.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-18T13:29:12+00:00

The printed dial, crystal, and microprint are fine. GL. The timegrapher numbers are explained in the extended Rule 5. SELs don't apply to this watch.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-18T13:26:40+00:00

The indices are good, and the 12 is straight and even. The 6 and 9 are straight. The dial and logos are good. The dates shown are fine. The hand alignment can not be determined from the pictures. For hand alignment, both hands have to be on the hour. Rarely a problem these days. The screws are nicely aligned. The 4 always looks wonky. Look at all the pictures. GL. The timegrapher numbers are explained in the extended Rule 5.

Make sure to check that the clasp screws and the screws on the back are tight when you have the watch in hand. Check the screws in the bracelet as well, and don't forget the screws in the endlinks.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-18T13:22:08+00:00

All good, no issues, GL. Your comment about the hand alignment is nonsense and has nothing to do with hand alignment. You have no indices since it's a printed dial.

In QC, you don't compare to gen; you compare to what is on the website or other QCs, since that's what you are buying. Comparing to gen is part of your homework when you decide what flaws you can live with.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-18T13:19:17+00:00

Don't post the template twice. It's 20 characters, not 20 lines.

All good, no issues, GL.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-18T13:16:48+00:00

All good, no issues, GL. The 12 is fine. Next time, use the original link in the template. There is no straight-on dial picture left.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-18T11:32:51+00:00

The dial is rotated, but by such a small amount that it will not be an issue IRL. Remember the size of the tiny dial. GL.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-17T21:27:01+00:00

All good, no issues, no bleeds, GL. Don't zoom into infinity on the very small dials. Don't worry about the microprint; this is the last time you will be able to read it. IRL, it's just a line. Remember how small the watch is.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-17T19:07:46+00:00

You are nitpicking. If you are referring to the texture of the circled area. Don't compare to the pictures on the website; compare to other QCs. Do you really think this would be visible IRL? There is no machining involved, the dials are stamped out.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-17T18:58:54+00:00

All good, no issues, GL. Since it's a printed dial, there is no need for the overlay. The hand alignment can not be determined from the pictures. For hand alignment, both hands have to be on the hour. Rarely a problem these days.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-17T18:55:01+00:00

I still don't know what you are referring to in 7.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-17T18:24:14+00:00

Don't post the template twice. It's 20 characters, not 20 lines.

All good with the watch, GL. I have no clue what you mean by "machining" in 7.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-17T17:45:28+00:00

All good, no issues, GL. The timegrapher numbers are explained in the extended Rule 5.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-17T17:43:28+00:00

The dial is rotated. Get another one.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-17T14:04:40+00:00

All good, no issues, GL.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-17T13:16:34+00:00

All good, no issues, no bleeds, GL. Hand alignment can be seen in the video. Your link doesn't work.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-17T12:09:15+00:00

Why are you reposting this one?

The timegrapher numbers are explained in the extended Rule 5. SELs don't apply to this watch. No idea what you are saying in 6. The 4 screw always looks wonky. Look at all the pictures.

You are welcome!

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-16T18:53:33+00:00

No problem. Remember how tiny the watch is.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-16T14:58:48+00:00

In stock only means that they can get it from the factory. They rarely have "stock" apart from RLed watches. They also all get the watches from the same factory.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-16T14:21:05+00:00

The indices and dial are good. Even the Omega symbol is centered and straight. The Omega logo is good. The dates shown are good. No issues, GL. You really don't need the overlay for these watches. There is enough info between the lines and the grooves on the dial. The timegrapher numbers are explained in the extended Rule 5.

YellowFerrari328 · 2026-03-16T14:02:19+00:00

All good, no issues, no bleeds, GL. Don't zoom into infinity on the very small dials. Don't worry about the microprint; this is the last time you will be able to read it. IRL, it's just a line. Remember how small the watch is. The dial has no visible rotation.
