Approve on visible QC
Moderate confidence · no clear RL fault established
The supplied images support approval: the applied markers and Omega logo look acceptable in two independently corrected views, the date 12 has visible clearance, and the short timing sample is reassuring. No clear replacement-level defect is established.

QC summary
| Area | Assessment | Evidence and caveat |
|---|---|---|
| Markers & Omega logo | Looks acceptable | P15 and P08 show no conspicuous repeatable rotation or displacement. Reflective metal edges are not exact measurement targets. |
| Printing & dial texture | Looks acceptable | Minute numerals and lower printing are legible. No obvious large paint dropout; reflections and compression limit tiny details. |
| Date wheel | 12 looks acceptable | Two native crops show readable digits and aperture clearance. Video demonstrates changing dates; not an inspection of all 31 positions. |
| Hands | Looks acceptable | No obvious in-plane bend. V02 shows setting and a near-12 view; precise clearance and full-cycle alignment remain unverified. |
| Timing | Reassuring short sample | 0 s/day, 274–276°, 0.1 ms; device set to 52°. Only 7.22 seconds of footage. |
| Water resistance | Evidence still needed | The post mentions paying for water resistance. No pressure-test result is present in this album. |

Camera geometry corrected
P15 provides the sharper close dial view. P08 is a separate capture, with a different seconds-hand position and changing reflections.
The grid is fitted to printed minute ticks, independently of the applied markers and hands.
The grid is fitted to printed minute ticks, independently of the applied markers and hands.
Cyan: cardinal axes and minute-track circle. Amber: remaining hour rays. Dial-plane references; they do not calibrate the raised bezel or reconstruct 3D geometry.
The markers broadly follow the printed minute track in both views. The 12 o’clock index looks acceptably centered, and the 3 and 9 markers do not show a conspicuous repeatable tilt. The Omega symbol and lettering appear reasonably level against the horizontal dial texture. I do not see an alignment-based reason to request a replacement.
The polished marker facets produce uneven light and dark rims as the lighting changes. Luminous inserts appear continuous in the close views. Small bright specks and edge irregularities are visible at enlargement, but their location beneath or above the crystal is not established. These photographs do not prove a chipped marker or contamination inside the watch.
This configuration has a smooth bezel without a timing pip. The date aperture occupies the 6 o’clock position.
03
Date wheel and hand alignment
Unwarped date crops preserve the original camera view. The setting video adds functional evidence beyond the static dial photographs.
The “12” is legible, with clearance at the top, bottom and sides. Margins vary with the viewing angle; I would not reject this date position for centering. V02 also shows the date advancing during crown operation, including readable 13 and 18 positions. Video resolution is insufficient to grade each intervening date’s typography or centering.
V01 shows seconds-hand motion. V02 demonstrates hand setting, a near-12 overlap and changing dates. That supports basic operation, but the available frames do not establish exact hand synchronization at 12:00, full-cycle clearance, date rollover timing or long-term reliability. The current evidence supplies no clear hand-alignment reason to RL.

52°Lift-angle setting
The video and still support the poster’s timing figures, with amplitude briefly displayed at 276° before 274°. The short visible trace is orderly. These readings do not provide a timing-based reason to RL, but 0 s/day is a short instrument reading, not a promise of zero daily error on the wrist.
V03 is 7.22 seconds long. Wind state, measurement history and other positions are unverified. Amplitude depends on the instrument’s lift-angle setting; 52° is recorded here without certifying that it is correct for the installed movement. The displayed 28,800 b/h and decorative movement markings cannot authenticate the claimed A8800 or establish genuine Omega certification.

05
Case, bracelet and lume
The polished bezel looks continuous, and the end-link junctions show no conspicuous open gap in the front views. The bracelet and clasp look acceptably assembled. Protective film and reflections prevent certifying a scratch-free finish, and the pictures do not establish clasp tension or joint play.

GL / RL recommendation
MODERATE CONFIDENCE / VISIBLE QC
GL — approve the visible QC
The supplied images support approval: the applied markers and Omega logo look acceptable in two independently corrected views, the date 12 has visible clearance, and the short timing sample is reassuring. No clear replacement-level defect is established.
SUPPORTS APPROVAL
Acceptable marker and logo alignment across two views, readable date 12, no obvious hand bend, demonstrated setting and reassuring short timing readings.
RECONSIDER IF CONFIRMED
A repeatable loose or rotated marker, missing lume, chipped frame, hand collision, defective date operation or failed pressure test would change the relevant recommendation.
Paid water-resistance work
No pressure-test result appears in the collected files. Ask for the test pressure, pass/fail outcome and identification of this watch. The “150M” model description is not evidence that this specimen has passed a pressure test.
Potential message to the seller
The visible QC looks acceptable to me. Please send the result of the paid water-resistance test, including the pressure and pass/fail outcome, and confirm it belongs to this watch before shipment. Thank you.
The request for a test record is separate from the cosmetic GL. If the seller cannot document the paid test, resolve that service before relying on water resistance.

Evidence and limitations
Complete album collection
The complete Imgur media list declares 20 items: 17 images and three videos. All 20 direct files were downloaded; file sizes match the sizes declared by the album. The browser initially hid five final images behind “Load 5 more images.” No separate user download was supplied for this case.
The four Reddit images were also retained and matched visually against P15, P01, P02 and P17. They have the same pixel dimensions but different encodings and smaller file sizes. The Imgur versions are used as the upstream source; file size alone is not a quality score.
P01 contains a pre-existing overlay and is excluded from calibration. Added annotations are not an independent observation. “Original” here means the unchanged downloaded file, not a camera RAW file or a guarantee that the uploader did no editing.
Geometry method
Each conventional projective fit uses detected white printed minute ticks. Applied markers, hands and the bezel do not set the grid. Candidate ticks near the date region and all five-minute numeral positions are excluded. Initial reference points were visually seeded and refined; robust fitting rejects inconsistent detections.
The native minute-track diameter is about 1,500 pixels in P15 and 1,050 in P08. The output circle has a 500-pixel radius. Alternating accepted ticks provide an internal cross-check; this is not independent metrology or a physical defect tolerance.
Correction cannot remove crystal refraction, recover hidden edges or model the height of the markers. Low fit residuals should not be read as sub-pixel accuracy of the watch’s physical alignment.
| View | Accepted ticks | Fit RMS | Alternating-tick cross-check RMS |
|---|---|---|---|
| P15 | 44 | 1.00 source pixels | 0.89 source pixels |
| P08 | 41 | 0.61 source pixels | 0.61 source pixels |
Photo/video assessment with programmatic geometry and AI visual review; no separate human watchmaker sign-off. This is not a physical inspection, factory or movement authentication, accuracy guarantee or pressure-test certificate. No original rejected watch was supplied for comparison. Surface reflections, protective film, focus, compression and crystal refraction limit fine-finish judgments.
