It still looks like crap. Not to mention you still haven't gotten the factory to fix the date window touching the tachy and the fat hour hand pinion. You don't listen to the community, but I for one really wish you did.

Well I got my QC photos on Friday. There seems to be some brown residue around the numbers. Glue? The 4 and 7 especially. I didn't reply in time so I couldn't reject it. Did I get the crappy one at the end of the batch? Took them three weeks just to get me QC photos. This is the second watch I got from puretime lately with a problem.

I think saying it's crap is a little unfair, this is a $500 copy of a $20000+ watch. What do you expect? And the date can't be moved because the movement won't allow it. If you want to design a specific movement then feel free, we'd all appreciate it!

i expect the same things other makes have gotten: upgrades. Your limited imagination isn't gracing us any more than your sarcasm: I gave angus clear drawings of how to redo both tachy and hour pinion 2 years ago. I'll give you a hint: no movement redesign needed.

You should look into what kind of Franken project is needed to “move the date window”. That’s not just a lazy error.

I totally get your point. But to call this project crap is a bit harsh as already said.

My question at this point - will a custom tachy refine the overall position of the DW cut out so that it is centered between the center of the 2 and the 4 on the dial additional to the gen-like gap between the tachy and the DW cut out itself?

Why they don't manage to stamp out the hands with the correct pinion is also a mystery for me...

Maybe they will fix all those things older batches include when the release a completely new concept of rep - with a clone movement and redone case, dial, DW and hands as well.

Moving date window is irrelevant. As per my subsequent comment. You'll find it

I tried, but I didn't make it under the 24 window even though they mailed it after my request and their reply to my request. Already on the way as of today. I will have to pay out of pocket to have someone work on it here. Any one have recommendations?

Looks at PT website. Looks like your watch is the one they used for to take pictures. It has the same issue as your

Funny.

Audemars Piguet Germany told me, that the Sizes for Leather Hornback straps are: 98/71, 118/71 and 138/71. Rubber is 96/71, 116/71 and 136/71.

On the other Hand: The XL Rubber Strap they sold me is 71/125... they might have given me wrong Numbers. Or a fake Strap, lol.
