Finally received my Omega Seamaster from NecoClock!

Really happy with how it turned out. The whole process was smooth from start to finish.

Dealer name: NecoClock

Factory name: AF

Model name (& version number): Cartier Tank Solo 27.4mm SS/Leather White Dial AF Quartz

Price Paid: $188 (ex shipping)

Index alignment: N/A, printed dial

Dial Printing: Looks good from what I can see. Cartier logo is centered, Roman numerals look clean, and the inner minute track looks straight. “Swiss Made” at 6 looks fine too. The hidden Cartier text at VII is there and looks okay. No obvious print issues for me.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A, no date.

Hand Alignment: Looks fine. Simple two-hand quartz, so not much to check. Hands look straight and centered.

Bezel: N/A,

Solid End Links (SELs): N/A

Timegrapher numbers: N/A

Anything else you notice: Case looks clean, side profile looks fine, and the crown/cabochon looks okay. Caseback engraving seems fine, though stickers/reflections make it a little hard to judge. Strap looks okay as well. I don’t see any obvious scratches, dents, bad screws or finishing problems.

Verdict:
Looks like a GL to me. Would appreciate some input.

Dealer name: NecoClock

Factory name: VSF

Model name: Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 42mm Black Ceramic Dial SS Bracelet — Newest Update VSF DD8800

Price Paid: $358 (ex shipping)

Index alignment: Overall looks good to me. The 12 o’clock markers look straight and centered, and the 3/6/9 markers look fine as well. In the alignment tool a few things look slightly off, but I think the photo itself is a little tilted. Would appreciate some extra input here.

Dial Printing: Printing looks clean overall and pretty well centered. One small thing I noticed is that the “ft” after “1000” looks a little soft/blurry. Would appreciate opinions on that.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date wheel looks acceptable to me. The dates shown seem reasonably centered in the window.

Hand Alignment: Hands look fine.

Bezel: Bezel looks good. Pip seems centered and the bezel markers/numerals look properly filled. Bezel alignment looks acceptable to me.

Solid End Links (SELs):
SELs look okay from the photos. I don’t see any big gaps between the bracelet and the case.

Timegrapher numbers:
Rate: -1 s/d
Amplitude: 305°
Beat error: 0.1 ms

Numbers look good to me. I know amplitude readings on these can be a bit tricky depending on lift angle, but the rate and beat error look strong.

Anything else you notice:
Lume looks even. Bracelet, clasp, caseback, crown, HE valve and case profile all look good from what I can see. No major scratches, bad finishing, missing lume or obvious defects. The only small thing I’m unsure about is the “ft” print mentioned above, but I’m leaning toward it being the photo rather than the dial.

Verdict:
Leaning GL, but would appreciate a second opinion, especially on the lower dial text/“1000ft” print.
