Hi Glaude, I have tried for 5 or 6 days to get a hold of him before I placed the order. No luck yet.....

Glaude, do any such misspellings occur on the PF model? I'm not sure I can live with that spelling error. Overall the PF seems like a better model then???

Wait a bit longer or send from a different address email if you can, your mail could have end up in the spam folder, but I would suggest just waiting a bit longer.

PF don't have those spelling mistakes, I still prefer the MK overall, but you won't go wrong with the PF either.
You can read my review on RWG on the MK V5 if you want more details :

Thanks Glaude I will def read that! By the way I have not seen much information about the water resistance between the MK6 and PF versions. I am aware that it's not advisable to wear these reps in the water but just curious about any experiments or information on water resistance.
Thanks

Water resistance is probably the same, the case construction seems to be the same, gaskets at the same places. This watch is by design, very well prepared for being water resistant (hence the name : Nautilus) but having it tested properly could prevent any water leakage.
There are two schools about that : wear it and you'll see or get it tested and be safe

Thanks again Glaude, so where do you get the watch tested for any leakage? Is something that a TD would do? Or needs to be done by a local watch store?

TDs won’t test it for you.

Many TDs will actually test it. The only problem is the reliability of the test. And even if it was 100% reliable, water resistance might be compromised after shipping it around the world. I would go to a local shoe repair shop that does battery changes and other stuff and ask if they can test it for you. Usually they don't care and test it straight away.

Thanks for the advice. Any advice on what to look for when checking for quality control things like the misaligned hour markers?

Learn something new every day. I didn't know that. Which TDs will water test?

Puretime does, for instance. Still, don't take it too seriously as it might not mean it's water resistant once it shows up in your door.

Check the other thread here about QC v6 pics. This is NOT a v6 - seems still to be a v5. Movement is not the updated version with balance crock like gen/ZF Version.
