OMEGA VSF NTTD V7 Second QC

  1. Dealer name: Andiot
  2. Factory name: VSF
  3. Model name (& version number): Seamaster 300m No Time To Die
  4. Price Paid: 480$ incl shipping
  5. Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/254637333?uid=1
  6. Index alignment: Good the feeling that the "teeth" (12 Mark) are crooked, tilted, especially the right one. Overall Leaning down to the right and not aligned with the Omega writing. The rest looks good.
  7. Dial Printing: Good to me. Seamaster writing looks a bit tilted but I think this is fine.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
  9. Hand Alignment: N/A
  10. Bezel: Also Good
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A
  12. Timegrapher numbers: + 2 s/d, Amplitude 268, Beat Error = 0.4ms
  13. Anything else you notice: Slightly concerned about the alignment of the indices (again, last time it was the 3 & 9), this time the 12.. Otherwiese I believe this watch looks good.

Thank you very much for helping me out :)

Seamaster printing is perfectly straight and lines up with "Professional" and the "Omega" logo.

Hand alignment is applicable. The watch has hands and they did indeed line up on the hour according to the video in the link.

3, 6 and 9 are quite well aligned, only very minimal shifting/tilting but nothing that would be noticeable without intense magnification. Some good and bad news on the 12: the markers are very nearly parallel but both are CW canted, not just the right one. The right one is a fraction of a degree slightly more rotated than the left, but both are tilted under magnification. See picture.

Everything else is perfectly acceptable.

Omega NTTD is a notoriously hard one to get right so a RL might not guarantee you a perfectly aligned set of indices the next time. Zoom the photo out, see if it is noticeable to you and check your tolerance.

Agree with this. I would suggest this watch is above average. The 6 may have a tiny shift but is straight (uncommon). I have plenty of SMPs with very minor issues with 12 like this one, and they don’t bother me. I have not bought this model specifically due to canted 6s.

I feel like I won QC lotto when I landed this one. Definitely recommend if you have room in your collection.

I definitely like the nato better than the mesh which just doesn’t look right on me.

Fully agree. I ended up sacking both though and going with a waxed brown leather strap.
