Has anyone heard of a recent green seamaster 300 release from ORF?

Yes it is coming shortly. Not sure how the shade of green compares though based on a pic I’ve seen of it. Lighting is a big thing with green watches!

Could be a hit. But I'd assume most people will hold off until a comparison with gen is done.

Lots

To sum it up, (because the reviews are mostly on RWI which is OOS for the moment)

VSF wrong crown guards, better bezel action, apparently better crystal but I can’t see a difference so may be batch to batch. Worse (not by much) bracelet. Movement missing screw on regulator, movement possibly better built (whole thread on that)

ORF good crown guards, worse bezel, better bracelet.

Dials and Color’s are different but better or worse depending on Color/model/batch/version

I keep getting confused with OMF & ORF, both big Omega factories. From what I understand OMF is the better factory, compared to ORF?

Most people would say that ORF is better than OMF,

For the seamaster 300 ORF and VSF are neck to neck, pros and cons of each. If I was getting black I would go ORF, If it was blue it would depend on who does the blue bezel/dial better. My ORF white has a nicer dial than my pre raid VSF, but the newer VSF may be even better, and I swear I just read about a new white version that may be even better. (ZF?)

ORF only make a few models  think. The  SMP 300m/SMPc/NTTD (I really need to find or start a list of omega model Acronyms)

OMF make the large planet oceans and chrono models (with bloody sunken datewheels and movements that sometimes take a crap) and the manual wind moonwatch.

 

please correct me if I am wrong because I have a crap memory.

Already out marketed as an SBF(so boring factory!) ZF has just released one too.
