Maybe applied indices should have been used instead of painted numerals
The look is very different.
One looks higher quality than the other.
Just want to share with u guys my exp with swatch service centre ,,,
1st trip: send my omega po 8500 to remove a particle in caseback after seeking advice that it should be removed to prevent it from entering movement. Was told need to send in for a week for a simple job. Fine...
2nd trip:got my watch back, went home, found out there is a big piece of dirt sticking on the dial.
3rd trip: send it in to service centre, they check on the spot, open up caseback, told me can't be removed, in addition add in a few more big pieces of dirt in crystal. I told them to remove those new dirt pieces n also check wad could be done with the dirt sticking on the dial,
Got a call a few days later saying they will change the dial n it will take 2 months.
4th trip: got a call after 2 mths , watch is back, went back took watch, found out a few more dirt in crystal, dirt in hour marker ,scratches on the hour hands, scratche in caseback, scratches on lugs behind.
I finally decided send to a private watch repair shoop to remove those dirt . Those that can be removed r already removed. Those that stick to the hour makers can't be removed . As for the scratches in hour hands I decided to leave it alone since it's pretty small. Those scratches in caseback n lugs I also decided to accept it.
Was told by this watch repair guy that it's normal cause authorized service centre do not have the best facilities n they simply do not care,
Luckily for this shop, they have a suction hood to do all their work , so their quality is much better.
As for my watch, there are still dirt sticking to the hour marker n dial, scratches to the hour hands n caseback n lugs which can't be solved,. Decided to just wear the watch instead of sending it in..
So if u guys want to service yr watch,don't send it to authorized service centers if u want good outcomes.send it to private watch repair shops that r trustAble instead.. Not only their quality is much better, their price is also quite decent

Not quite really the case.
I really regret sending my UN for servicing to a private watch shop. Coming to 10 months now and it's still not OK yet...................
Should have send it back to UN through THG for servicing..................
you should ask for your watch back
hope dun have to pay more than 8.6k
Its not always about the wrist size, depends on the height, attire and the way you carry it. 47mm on a 6.25" is doable.
Maybe applied indices should have been used instead of painted numerals

Both look equally nice to me. But of course, this is the perfect example of "One watch doesn't fit all"
There will be people who wants indices and then there will another group of people who wants painted numerals... Then there will be others who wants Arabic... and the list goes on and on and on...
380 vs 183
Stay up last night to do a quick clean and wind on my vintages
I realized the moral of the story is not to succumb to impulse buying...
