jonbon 0 Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Ok, after some serious searching (10 + dealers and even DHGate), nearly being scammed thrice (!), I finally seem to have located a "genuine" SOH V2 black. It has a little case damage though, or as seller says, " has a little different". Is this something that can be fixed? Can any of you spot other damages or indications that this is not V2? Thanks!

No fun in that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted March 25, 2011 What seller is this from? Is it a trusted dealer? I wouldn't worry about case damage on the back, you can't see it when it's on the wrist. Somewhere on here there is a thread with either a link to the comparisons thread on RWG2 or I might have copied across the whole article... I'm not sure where it is, though!

Well, he is trusted on another forum, watcheden. It is the last in stock, so i feel lucky even though it has a scratch. I checked the article you referred to, I think both bezel, backcover and dial looks V2, so I am taking the plunge me thinks, just trying to get a little discount Hope I can write off the "has little different" to engrish, because it is not different, just a little damaged. Have anybody tried to have it relumed to fix the dots? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jameo210369 0 Posted March 25, 2011 she's a rep, the lume dots is a dead give away and also bezel will still be slightly out with one more turn. How much are they asking? Have you asked Ska if he can help you with the lume dots etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you asked Ska if he can help you with the lume dots etc? Ya, i know it is a rep, i realise the wording in my first post was a little off hehe. Ok, you think the bezel will not align? Hm, i noticed it was off, but thought it would be only one click. Thats a little worse. I see gen. bezels on ebay though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted March 25, 2011 That is possibly the last v2 in black for sale as new anywhere, so if you have the money and think it looks ok, I would be extremely tempted to get it lol Neither of my bezels line up 100% perfect either but there is some very small play in them between the clicks so you can usually get it only a fraction out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jameo210369 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Just my opinion, if the bezel would line up perfect why didn't the seller align it correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygt 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Sure it's a V2? I'm not up on my Omega reps but it's always heralded as one of the closest to gen reps so should it have all these issues? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,514 Posted March 25, 2011 It might be a v1.5 - those lume dots are not quite right and the number "1" on the date wheel is different from on my blue v2. Here's mine for comparison:- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted March 25, 2011 looking at Del's v1.5 I wouldn't drop a dime on that watcheden mess...well, unless it was cheap. the watcheden version dial is more correct with the P spacing to the A but the lume markers are off...the datewheel is a toss up cuz I think both styles with the 1 are used on the GEN depending on MY but being a V2 and most recent it should have the updated datewheel. in the end that watcheden v2 is a bad buy unless its heavily discounted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted March 25, 2011 Ahhhh, good eyes you have B) This might well be a v1.5 then. Do some more checking on that comparison post!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's mine for comparison:- Damn, that blue one is also so nice! And .. the plot thickens (Gen picture): (although i have to say the overall size of the datewindow is suspicious.)

jonbon 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Del, thats a very good looking Breitling right there on your desk...Do it come in black also? Well, that is the general issue here, they stopped making 'em and the black one is so hard to get that we are left with half damaged goods Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Del's SOH is a V2. Once bought by me from Mary....and now Del is the lucky owner. Thanks Rolf - I now realise my post was confusing! I meant that the black one in question was perhaps a v1.5, not my blue one, which is certainly a v2 as you say (and I love it ). I'd certainly be wary of that black watcheden SOH unless you can get a good discount Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takken 0 Posted March 25, 2011 @ Del: "I'd certainly be wary of that black watcheden SOH unless you can get a good discount"... Is the black version not as good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,514 Posted March 25, 2011 @ Del: "I'd certainly be wary of that black watcheden SOH unless you can get a good discount"... Is the black version not as good? Didn't you read the whole thread? The black SOH is not a confirmed v2 (plus it's slightly damaged), and v2 is the best version available - hence my comment. However, if it only costs $100 then it's a bargain.
