Where is the flaw in Omega VS new Seamaster 300 meters blue dial full rose gold 8800 movement? Will others notice?

Comprehensive comparative analysis of the Omega and New Seamaster 300 Meter Blue Dial Full Rose Gold 8800 Movement models: Case finishes, movement precision, dial details and production tolerances are examined in detail with Saat Detective expertise standards.

Dial and Hand Details

The ceramic dial is really well made, it is unique. When viewed from the side, the entire background color is blue-black, it looks quite nice. When viewed from the front, there is a little white in the wave pattern, like two colors. In fact, the less difference between these two colors, the better. When the light falls on it, it feels like it's not penetrating, can I explain?

Case and Body Workmanship

The outer bezel appears a little black in the photo, not very blue. Actually, this is what should happen; When light falls on it, it looks darker, giving a blue-black feel. This is quite normal, you can't tell it's fake at a glance.

Of course, there is a slight color difference in blue, but this difference is not noticeable; It has a dark, blackish appearance, just like the one in the showcase. The lume of the hour markers is not matte like the waterproof ones, it looks smoother and more rounded. It's hard to control but well done. The strongest point of this watch is the external bezel markings: metal markings, not spraying, not discoloring; The white part is filled with enamel. So there is a very high level of manufacturing workmanship, Omega is really good at this.

It is impossible for there to be no color difference, anyway there are small differences even in the watches of different years. So what is the color difference? The display case does not reveal its condition. For example, the one in the window is blue, but looks a bit black when viewed from the side; If it cannot give this, there is a color difference. But it is very normal for there to be a slight deviation in the tone number of blue and black. It's all done by human hands, batch by batch; It's natural for it to be a little different. Even the starch bezel of the Rolex in the display case has two different colors, which is very normal. Don't get too obsessed; Some things are actually no problem at all, you just don't know.

How is the 8800 movement produced by VS Factory? Is it a bridge type mechanism?

The back isn't bad either. The Seagull 2836 caliber is fitted with a black rotor and is considered a deeply customized movement; Overall it looks pretty similar. There are engravings like AU750 on the automatic rotor, they are very finely processed. Sometimes there are people who see this movement and ask, "Is the 8800 model released?" or "Is it improved?" You keep your constant attention on a single adjustment slide; You just see a sled and think "they made it without any loopholes" without even knowing that it is a bridge type mechanism. So is it really worth all that obsession? Are there really that many experts around you? Actually there is not; You're just too obsessed with yourself. One sled too many; You know because you drive a replica, but do those around you know that one sled is too much? If they all knew, they would all be using replicas; If they all use replicas, they are all on the same path, then is there such a thing as real or fake? So this is just a psychological pressure that you put on yourself.

There are steel relief stamps on all four corners of the back; The engraving is also nice, very clear.

The dimensions are 42X13.5 mm, the size of the VS is 42X13.6 mm; There is almost no difference, don't worry about it.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The strap and buckle are also nice; There's nothing to criticize about VS's workmanship, but it's really expensive: 300 for a set of rubber straps, because it's exclusive to them.

Glass and Sapphire Crystal

The material of the watch glass is sapphire glass, the rubber strap is also smooth; just the plated gold work is not right. Plated gold case and buckle, homogeneous color; The original is filled gold. The gold plating lasts for a year or two, then gradually fades. If you are uncomfortable, you may not take it; If your budget is enough, you can have gold filled, but the price is quite high.

Regarding the sound and shaking: there is a little clicking sound when you shake it up and down, but when you shake it left and right, it is fine. Duplex setup is fine though; The market feedback of the mechanism is also very positive.

Movement and Caliber Performance

The middle case and case are fixed with three screws plus washers, and the movement is fixed with three screws plus washers. As everyone knows, there are only two fixing slides in the Seagull mechanism; This one has three fixing slides, indicating a deeply customized mechanism. Still not bad.

This is the real review of this watch; I stated the problems as they were. Apart from the fact that the plated gold will fade over time, if you are uncomfortable with it, you can choose the white steel one; Other problems are not important and can be ignored.
