BoyRacer 2 Posted May 29, 2020 @TheGingerFerret What's your thoughts about the blue strap - bottom left? Is it worth the £80 ish that's being asked for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,272 Posted May 29, 2020 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OJHorology 352 Posted May 29, 2020 @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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bottom right watch is on the VSF strap and it is good - but is any rubber strap 'worth' £80?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.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotmeister 1 Posted May 29, 2020 I think VSF is amazing. I really dig its movement! Also had good experiences with planet ocean! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, but I'll never spend 80$ for a rep rubber strap... Plus I got it but I think I'll keep on bracelet, I like it more like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,272 Posted May 29, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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?

Whorologist 227 Posted June 7, 2020 This one!!!! 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.

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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
