From from searching OMF, OMG BP and JHF make one. I appreciate your imput. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScorpVamp 0 Posted August 17, 2018 All I know is apparently that OMF and JHF are the same and I had one and it was decent but I wouldn't recommend it if you can help it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigporl 0 Posted August 26, 2018 I've got latest from omf v3 I think it is date wheel spacing is a hell of a lot better than v2. That is if it's tgis one you're talking of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theleash 0 Posted September 6, 2018 I've got the v2 with ss bracelet. Had it for about 15 months now and seems all ok with the exception of the ss bracelet really starting to loosen up throughout the links. Question 1, how much can you manually wind it up? Question 2, has anyone had a pressure test and/or mod done to achieve water proofing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Question 1 : You can't overwind it, so don't worry Question 2 : Probably some had, but that won't help you since you have to do it too, you can't rely on other people tests on that subject Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theleash 0 Posted September 6, 2018 Hey, thanks a million, Glaude. In terms of the pressure test, can I assume any reputable watch repairer can help? or is there a policy on keeping reps to within the inner sanctum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll have to find a "rep friendly" watchsmith, depending on how they work they may not want to touch a rep, but you'll have to ask them, best way is to discuss watch in general before asking this question, make them comfortable discussing with you. The only rule in here is don't take a rep to an official dealer of the same brand, otherwise you can do what you want Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bladerider 0 Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Last March, I bought the BP version after some deliberation. It was the spelling mistakes on the OMf movement that put me off, combined with the fact that the OMf 9900 chrono version I bought previously only lasted a couple of days before it seized up. My 8900 BP version has a Miyota movement and is super accurate. I reckon its almost as accurate as a quartz watch. When fairly new, I was at an Omega dealer trying on the grey titanium version, and my rep was never questioned. (A bit daring I know). Its not all good though. After 6 months, it definitely cannot ever be mistaken for anything other than a rep. The orange paint on the bezel has worn very thin. Its still visible, but only just. I suppose that would be the same regardless of what factory version you get. It would be great if a gen bezel could fit this watch. I have no idea if that is possible or even where or how much a gen bezel would be. Edited September 20, 2018 by bladerider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FishOutOfH2O 0 Posted January 31, 2019 K4jun, Thanks for sharing the link...Very nice, I like that it comes with 2 straps (stainless steel bracelet with nylon strap)! What is the beets per hour on the movement 28,800 or 21,600? Now that you have had it for a while how is it holding up (reliability, orang rubber on bezel etc)?
