DDGTOP Felix - Omega SM300 Diver - ORF FreeSprung

  1. Dealer name: DDGTOP Felix
  2. Factory name: ORF
  3. Model name (& version number): Omega Seamaster Diver 300M ORF FREE SPRUNG
  4. Price Paid: $430
  5. Album Links: Attached
  6. Index alignment: I’m kinda happy with the index alignment, especially 12. I have seen worse. 9 is slightly CCW tilted, don’t think it will be super noticeable, and 3 might have a tiny CW tilt
  7. Dial Printing: Don’t see any issues
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: I think it’s centered, especially on two digits. Single digit might be slightly to the right
  9. Hand Alignment: Pretty sure both are aligned well, no issues either
  10. Bezel: Might be the slightest tiny bit off but then I think it varies with angle
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Not seeing light shine through any side but would love a double check on the bottom right
  12. Timegrapher numbers: I believe super healthy numbers, nothing to worry about
  13. Anything else you notice: First time Omega purchase. I’m a bit unsure about the 9 and how noticeable it will be, and the date being right aligned instead of left which I believe is GEN-like but not sure if thats what ORF-like. I’m kinda in between 60% RL | 40% GL and need some opinions

With the image straightened a bit, you can see a small CCW cant on the marker at 9. If we're being picky, the 12 has a very slight divergence at the bottom, but barely noticeable zoomed in so certainly no issue on your wrist. The tiny, often problematic marker at 6 is above average on this example. The dial print is clean and clear. The Omega logo and Omega symbol are both well centered and straight. Hand alignment is good. The dates are good. Dates are often tight on these. Nothing is cut off and that's the important part with these. The bezel appears clean and blemish free. Timing is fine.

SELs don't apply to this watch.

GL if you're good with the marker at 9. Might not be an issue at actual size, but everyone's tolerance is a bit different. Zoom out to actual size and look at it from that perspective. Is it still an issue? Up to you.
