Differences between VS Factory's Omega Seamaster 150 Replica and Other Factory Versions
VS Factory's Seamaster 150M is produced following the authentic craftsmanship, while other factory versions still use techniques from five years ago, resulting in a significant gap compared to VS Factory's craftsmanship. VS Factory uses an exclusive integrated movement with a 95% similarity in appearance to the genuine watch and identical functions, ensuring stable operation. On the other hand, other factories use a combination of the Seiko NH8215 movement and a fake deck, leading to issues such as loose movement parts, trembling seconds hand, and lack of stop-seconds function.
To distinguish between small factories and VS Factory's Omega Seamaster replicas, look at the size and position of the movement's balance wheel. Other factories use the smaller NH8215 movement, which causes a smaller balance wheel and an incorrect position at 7 o'clock. The provided visual guide helps with identification.
VS Factory versions have finer and more textured dial stripes compared to other factory versions, which appear rough and lack quality.
The hour hand luminescent slot of other factory versions is shorter, and its length is not accurately matched to the genuine model, while VS Factory's version matches the genuine watch in length.
The luminescent slot end of market versions is semicircular, and the hour hand lacks smooth finishing, resulting in overly neat cuts. In contrast, VS Factory's version has a pointed luminescent slot end, and the hour hand's rear is rounded with a second chamfer.
Market versions have rough dial fonts, oversized outer track fonts, whereas VS Factory's version has accurate fonts that match the genuine model in size and thickness.
In terms of movement, the market versions use the NH8215 movement with a deck, resulting in a thicker overall watch compared to the authentic model. VS Factory's movement is 1:1 modeled, ensuring the same thinness as the genuine watch.
In summary, the market version (left) has an NH8215 movement with a deck, with a gold-colored balance wheel that doesn't match the genuine black one, positioned at 7 o'clock incorrectly. The shock absorber and rubies on the deck are decorative without real functionality. The VS Factory version (right) has an integrated movement with a black balance wheel, positioned at 6 o'clock just like the genuine watch, featuring a real Nivachoc shock absorber and pink-purple colored jewels, all fully functional.
Regarding the steel bracelet, the market version lacks secondary brushing treatment, feels rough, has short screws, an uneven appearance, and the clasp size deviates from the genuine model. VS Factory's Seamaster bracelet undergoes secondary brushing treatment for a smoother finish, with screws at the correct height and a clasp size matching the genuine model. VS Factory's replica of the Omega Seamaster 150 pays close attention to devilish details.
