Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey. This watch review brings you the OR factory Omega Seamaster 300M 8800 integrated movement version. I believe many people will have questions. Who is this OR factory? In fact, the OR factory is a subsidiary of the GF factory, specializing in Omega. Just like the relationship between the JF factory and the AR factory, the ZF factory and the PPF factory, the AR factory specializes in Rolex and the PPF factory specializes in Patek Philippe. Speaking of this OR Seamaster 300 again, in the previous replica watch market, the one we sold the most is the Seamaster 300 from the VS factory. It is really good. Can this Seamaster 300 from the OR factory surpass the Seamaster 300 from the VS factory this time? Which one is better when comparing with the genuine product? Is the 8800 movement of the OR factory an integrated movement? And how to identify whether it is the OR factory Seamaster 300 meters? Now let’s talk about these questions in detail.
Genuine product parameters: Omega Seamaster series 210.30.42.20.01.001 watch, price 41800.
First, look at the front. The overall feeling is almost the same as the previous VS factory Seamaster 300. Ceramic bezel, ceramic dial, and the scales on the bezel are also made by enamel technology. There will be no blackening or fading in the later stage. These points are all in line with the genuine product.
The mirror uses arc-shaped double-sided anti-reflective sapphire glass, which is very transparent.
The ceramic bezel scale uses enamel technology. The workmanship, appearance and size of the inverted triangle luminous pearl are all the same as the genuine product and are very centered.
Looking at the workmanship of the dial again, the OR factory uses a ceramic dial material consistent with the genuine product and uses laser engraving to create wavy textures. It is clean and neat, tidy and clear. The L0G0 and font printing are three-dimensional and full. The pointer colors are the same, and the scale luminous filling is full and uniform.
The wavy ceramic dial is very textured. Especially under the illumination of light, it is as bright and clean as a mirror, which is incomparable to an ordinary copper lacquer dial. This is also a major highlight of the new Seamaster 300.
The pointers are also polished and more three-dimensional. Friends who have previously purchased the VS Seamaster 300 should know that the pointer polishing of VS is still a bit lacking and there will be a little burr feeling. The pointer polishing of this OR factory Seamaster 300 will be slightly better than that of the VS Seamaster 300. Relatively speaking, it is cleaner.
The size of the calendar window is very neat, and the size of the calendar font is the same as the genuine product.
There is another detail on the dial, that is, the filler of the scale nails and pointers will not turn green like the VS Seamaster 300. This detail is in place. Including the filling process is also very good. By comparing the OR factory Seamaster 300 with the VS factory Seamaster 300, we can see that the filler of the OR factory is very three-dimensional and full, and the color of the filler is also the white version of the genuine product.
Regarding the size, thickness and weight of the OR factory Seamaster 300m.
According to Bokey actual measurement, the size of the OR factory Seamaster 300 meters is 42mm, the thickness is 13.4mm, and the weight is 192 grams. The overall case data is almost the same as the genuine product.
Looking at the details of the case again. The case and steel strap of the OR factory Seamaster 300m are made of 316L stainless steel. The brushed finish of the overall case is very delicate and smooth. The radian lines are very smooth and there will be no scratching phenomenon at all. The crown on the upper left side is the exhaust valve.
On the other side is the screw-down crown, a functional design standard for diving watches. The side of the crown is still evenly polished with anti-slip lines, which is also for more convenient time adjustment. The size of the Omega logo at the crown is the same as the genuine product. The polishing at the crown is quite bright. The way to adjust the time is also very simple. Unscrew it counterclockwise, pull out one gear to adjust the calendar, and two gears to adjust the time.
The OR factory Seamaster 300 adopts a see-through design. The bottom cover mirror also uses sapphire glass. The bottom cover, including the edges of the four lugs, are also engraved with some engravings of the Omega brand. The engravings are very clear.
Next, let’s enter the detailed part of the 8800 integrated movement of the OR factory Seamaster 300m:
First of all, Bokey will dispel a rumor here. The 8800 movement of the OR factory is not an integrated movement in the true sense. This movement still uses a semi-deck method. The actual basic movement is still modified from 2824. The same as VS, it belongs to a third-generation modified movement. Mainly, the automatic rotor deck is directly changed to the appearance of the 8800 movement. The bottom movement is still 2824. The stability is relatively stable. The overall engraving of the movement deck is still good. The speed regulator is also hidden under the deck. The degree of restoration will be much better than the VS 8800 movement. This can also be upgraded and replaced with an ETA2824 movement later.
Identification method of the OR factory Seamaster 300?
Now let’s compare the differences between the OR and VS movements. The 8800 movement of the OR factory cannot see the deck of the 2824 movement at this red circle position. Mainly, the 2824 automatic rotor deck part is removed. It looks more hollow and is consistent with the genuine product. While the VS factory 8800 movement has flaws. As we can see from the picture, there is this flaw of the 28284 movement deck. So this detail is still better in the OR factory. The degree of simulation is a bit higher. Regarding the identification method, we mainly identify whether it is produced by the OR factory by whether this place is hollow to avoid wrong goods! Don’t simply judge by the manufacturer’s sticker. After all, that thing can be bought casually. But the detailed workmanship of the OR factory cannot be achieved by imitations.
Disassembly of the 8800 movement of the OR factory:
Bokey is also to verify whether it is the 8800 movement modified from 2824. By removing the dial and looking at the front structure, it is concluded that this OR factory 8800 integrated movement is indeed modified from 2824. The front structure is the same as 2824. It is not modified from the 9015 movement as some counterparts said. When we do evaluations, we still need to be realistic and not simply determine by simple speculation. When doing evaluations, we still need to be professional…
In terms of straps, the OR factory Seamaster 300m has two choices in strap configurations, one is a fluorine rubber strap and the other is a steel strap. In addition, now the OR factory also defaults to including a pair of fluorine rubber straps and buckles when purchasing the steel strap version. It is also very cost-effective.
Let’s talk about the steel strap part of the OR factory Seamaster 300 meters again: This time, the OR factory advertises that the steel strap polishing is a bit better than that of the VS factory. Is it true?
According to Bokey actual use, the strap made of 316L stainless steel is very substantial. The brushed finish of the entire strap is more delicate than that of the VS Seamaster 300. And the back of the steel strap has chamfered polishing treatment. The edges are rounded and will not cut hands. This detail must be praised!
The buckle is an adjustable folding buckle. There is a fine-tuning button on the back. Press “PUSH” and pull it out to fine-tune. In addition, there is also an extended buckle for wearing a diving suit. Usually, you can fold it up when not in use. In addition, this OR factory Seamaster 300 has waterproof performance. Simple swimming and snorkeling are no problem at all!
The bottom of the extended buckle is covered with a protective film, so it looks a bit dirty.
The included rubber strap is equipped with a pin buckle. The entire pin buckle is still very carefully polished. Including the back, there are also engraved codes. The OR factory is still very attentive and will not reduce the workmanship quality just because it is a gift!
In terms of luminous, it uses two-color luminous like the genuine product.
On-hand picture. Bokey wrist circumference is 15.5cm. Easy to handle!
Changing to a rubber strap is another style.
Should I choose the VS factory or the OR factory for the replica version of the Omega Seamaster 300m?
Summary: In conclusion, this time, the OR factory Seamaster 300 meters, from the literal details, pointer scales, and the higher authenticity of the 8800 movement, is a perfect surpass of the Seamaster 300 meters of the VS factory. In addition, the VS factory has been suspended for half a year. The market is also full of imitations of the VS Seamaster 300. Beware of some unscrupulous merchants pretending to be VS Seamaster 300. If you want to buy the best replica Seamaster 300 meters on the market, the OR factory is definitely a good choice. So far, the OR factory has also launched many color schemes. However, Bokey does not recommend buying the blue dial and gray dial Seamaster 300. The OR factory has serious color difference problems in these two color adjustments, which is obviously fake at a glance. If you want to buy it, try to choose the black dial and white dial ones.
