Oh never mind. I just looked it up on TrustPilot. It’s a domain registered in China, and it’s a scam. DON’T SHOP THERE.
I have to update on the customer service response. I was just about to send a frustrated email when I got a call from Joe with their service department. He was kind, apologetic, and eager to rectify the issue. He sent me a return label and promised to get this resolved, with a movement swap if necessary; and no cost to me. I’ll update when I get the watch back in hand.
I’m not certain, but I imagine that the bezel insert on many watches is placed on the bezel before the bezel is mounted on the watch. So maybe it’s just a crap-shoot how well it lines up.
Thank you for the reassurance! I’m just nit-picking the bezel and seconds hand - their misalignment isn’t glaring. With a quartz movement, my only thought is that maybe the battery isn’t held in a clip, so it can jostle loose momentarily and pause the watch? What I’m really curious about is the ‘off mode’ for the F06. I’ve never heard of that.
It’s become such a trope for Omega. I notably didn’t see a Seiko Pogue or some very realistic basic Casio. What I really kept thinking was: “these watches belong on wrists, not on display”.
I don’t know if this is the video I followed. But you can find polarized adhesive film on eBay. And then when you remove the original polarized film (all digital displays have them), then you can change the orientation 90-degrees for either negative or positive display. You can also tweak it more finely, the way manufacturers do, such that the display is just a little more crisp when looking at it from the angle a right-handed person might be looking at their watch. So a lefty could change the orientation so it’s more attuned to their viewing angles. If you have any doubts, try it out on an F91; that way you don’t kick yourself if you mess up. https://youtu.be/vRNEJYqN5uI
