Dungeekin 0 Posted April 17, 2014 Picked this up via M2M and collected it from the post office this afternoon, straight onto my wrist. Feels weighty (though not as heavy as my PO) to the hand, and comfortable on the wrist. The dial seems pretty accurate to me (though overall I'm not bothered about minor 'tells' anyway), and includes the [ZrOx] logo in the correct colour and position. Date is @6 and seems aligned correctly, The chrono works smoothly with nice positive button presses and a fast reset to the 12:00 position. Haven't given the lume much of a charge yet but at first glance it seems OK, with the two dots @12 especially bright. The strap also seems accurate - fabric on the top, and leather (embossed with the Omega logo) on the reverse. It doesn't have a sapphire caseback like the gen but I wasn't expecting one, given that it's a quartz movement. Overall, have to say I'm delighted with it and it's a worthy member of my growing stable of Omegas! Obligatory pics: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dungeekin 0 Posted April 17, 2014 Do both hands on the subdial at 3 work? I've no idea, TBH. Can't see any movement when I start/stop the chrono. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizmark 0 Posted April 18, 2014 nice, like the slightly higher position of the glas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NicholasShelton 0 Posted April 20, 2014 Looks great! Where did you find this? Ive been scouring the internet for all sorts of Speedmaster reps and have never come across this. Do you know if they make the standard "co-axial 9300" version? (same thing but in stainless steel) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Panda 30 Posted April 20, 2014 We have a Seiko VK Microstepper version of that, with a black DSOTM back on it. Two versions, both from different factories. http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=75829 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfwood 4 Posted April 20, 2014 Fat Panda's version has more accurate bezel markings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfq23 131 Posted April 21, 2014 Fat Panda's version has more accurate bezel markings. No it doesn't. Fat pandas doesn't have the accent above the E in tachymetre and the word is positioned too high Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfwood 4 Posted April 21, 2014 Well it's got the more correct numbering on the bezel then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfq23 131 Posted April 21, 2014 Neither are super accurate but think this one looks more balanced. Now bring on a version of the moon dust! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wanlo 0 Posted April 21, 2014 This watch looks so cool on the magazine and i thought of getting a rep. Unfortunately, when i see the gen version i was quite disappointed because it looks like a toy watch when compared to other speed/seamaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I choose a black version of an iconic watch it is because I want something understated, but the white markings shout too loud and spoil the stealth. Maybe should have been plain engraved or a silver/grey numbers. Just my 2p worth. Still a cracking Omega! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
