Hi ladies & gents.

Wanted to share my positive ordering and servicing experience.

Have had smooth purchases with other trusted dealers in the past, but have recently been unable to contact them (?raids), so decided to make my first puretime purchase.

Chose the DateJust 36mm 116234 from ARF with the white stick dial on jubilee powered by the SH3135. Link here

I personally found purchasing from PureTime easy and their reps were very responsive with my questions. The whole process moved quickly and the EMS postage was quick to Australia.

I read on several forum posts that the SH3135 comes "dirty" from the factory and that it should be serviced. I searched the RWI forums and found BLK.W.EXPRESS who is a Sydney watchmaker local to me who serviced it with a really quick turnaround and now it's running so great! Will definitely be going back there again to see Ray for future mods/service.

Only just got it back from the service yesterday and I'm loving how it looks and feels! Already got a compliment on it from a random lady in a shopping centre!

You can see that the date wheel has been improved since the first batch - it looks a lot better IMO, but I plan on upgrading very soon to a gen DW - then I think it will be perfect.

Hopefully this is helpful for anyone on the fence about Puretime or the ARF 116234.

does this datejust have red date fonts too? or just black

Mine does not have alternating black/red date fonts (typically called a roulette date wheel), but It's possible that such an option is available directly from a dealer.

You could email one of the sales reps at puretime and ask>

If they don't offer it then you could always source your own later and get a local watchmaker to swap it for you.

ah okay, I was just curious. maybe I'll just get a 116234 but not the white dial.

thanks for the info, lovely watch!
