So the email, and pics, arrived this morning. I ordered the 2018 Seamaster Diver 300M VSF 1:1 Best Edition Blue Ceramic Blue Dial on SS Bracelet A8800 V2 (Black Balance Wheel) from Puretime

Everything looks good to me but since it is a 1st purchase I would appreciate any opinions.

I wish the pressure reading was better but it is what I expected. Also, is the 4.8s/d too high? I have read a lot of debate about this number. If I follow this means I will be off about a 2 minutes a month. That sounds more than acceptable.

Let me know our thoughts please

I didn't think the lume looked all that yellow. I've seen pictures from others that looked a lot worse.

and for all the pictures in conversations I've seen it seems like the lighting that the picture is in makes the biggest difference

The number 4.8 has indeed been much debated on the rep fora.

Many felt that it was a number that should be avoided - except for those that felt that it beget good fortune.

LOL you have a real problem pal.

You just cant help but shove your opinion down everyone's throat, if they ask or not.

Dont listen too him Oxmarqt if it looks ok to you thats all that matters.
Cant see your pics as asking general opinions on QC's are not allowed.
However posting the pics once you have approved the watch, is allowed, then we can tell you what we think.

Also Azazel number 11 is a known flaw on the watch and is present on all vsf 300's its will be no different on this one.

This is exactly why general QC pictures are not allowed, because there is always someone who will need to make a comment whether needed or not, causing people to start rejecting watches for non existent issues

He has contributed f@$k all to this forum. All his posts about how he dislikes the lume. What an absolute douche bag.

All of this model is the same, so it's not a quality control issue with this specific watch and so it's not a valid reason to reject it, it's down to the buyer to decide whether it's acceptable to them or not, just because it's unacceptable to you and your unhappy with it on yoir watch, there's no need to moan about it on every thread about this watch.

it may be a flaw against the gen but it's not a QC issue
