Which one is your favorite in this Monsterbox?

Ooooh, toughie. Either the all blue (middle bottom) or the ceramic matte black/grey one (bottom right).

@TheGingerFerret What's your thoughts about the blue strap - bottom left?

Is it worth the £80 ish that's being asked for it?

That's a cheap Gate shitter and in hindsight I wish I'd got the £80 one because the Gate one fits badly - rides way above the lugs. The bottom right watch is on the VSF strap and it is good - but is any rubber strap 'worth' £80?

That's what is holding me back! (Plus I've forgotten which TD sells it!)

Is the white dial version also with the VSF strap?

@TheGingerFerret Those are some beauties mate, I'm eyeing that white dial bottom right...

I hesitated between the all blue and matte black, ended up getting the all blue and would definitely recommend it.

I was hesitating on purchasing the black omega with black strap with my only concern being the strap itself.

Have you noticed the VSF strap holds up well over time? Debating on getting the watch with a metal link strap and buying a gen rubber... or simply going for the VSF rubber.

I think VSF is amazing. I really dig its movement! Also had good experiences with planet ocean!

Great pics, you have captured the beauty of this watch very well! The reflections on the ceramic dial make it  a true chameleon, it feels like having at least 5 watches in one :)

Good morning ;)

looking back at early batches, the lume color was spot on. Mystery to me how they could f*** it up like they have ...

I suspect it will hold up very well, it feels as good as many Gen straps I’ve handled (I’ve not had an OEM Omega to compare to though). I’ve got quite a few watches though and rotate a lot so tbh, mine hasn’t had all that much wear as yet.

They're masters of f#@k up. I'm actually dreaded of future versions. The condition is called nextversion-o-phobia. It sucks. ;)

They're shit though. I've got one and they're night and day from the VSFs unfortunately.

Ok, but I'll never spend 80$ for a rep rubber strap... :D Plus I got it but I think I'll keep on bracelet, I like it more like that.

Yeah, I'm totally with you on that. I had BIG issues spending $80 on the rep rubber - hence picking up the cheap version. Look how it fits though. It's passable on the wrist, but look closely and it sits weirdly high.

Don't bother buying though, the VSF is just about as good as Gen. If you go for it, make sure you get the V2 with correct bracelet. There's a massive thread on it at RWI if you need help. Got mine on today:

Was there big problems with the first model? 

I cant seem to find the  thread on RWI Can you please give a link to it?

I'm kidding. It's purely a matter of personal taste. I genuinely recommend you get them all, they're brilliant reps.

Christ on a bike what an Omega collection! Reading the threads it seems like there is not much in it between the different dial colours.

Been hankering for a crispy white dial version for the summer. Thoughts on the white dial?

Yeah :facepalm: Too much wasted money. They're just such good reps though, it's rude not to buy them!

I really like it. Just be careful you don't get yellow markers. VSF started churning out a batch that were way too yellow. That applies across all dials tbf.
