Hi all, I made an amateur mistake and order this 37mm YM without trying it on. I went to the AD and it looked very small, like a bracelet. 40mm YM looked too big on my 6.5 inch wrist.

Puretime were very accomodating, and let me switch out the order for something else.

Really wanted to get a Rolex, but I got the Aquanaut 5164A SS ZF instead.

I've paid the difference, and hopefully the QC pics will come through soon.

Jennifer from Puretime was super patient and make some good recommendations and suggestions.

Will keep you guys posted

Hi All,

Here are QC pics.

The only big difference with the gen I could find was the date 23 is flipped the wrong way. I've put a pic of the gen for reference.

Other minor flaws are clasp alignment and scratches on the steel part of the rotor wheel on zoom.

What do you guys think of the date flip error?

Date flip error screams cheap rep.

You are fooling yourself thinking the rep is 1 to 1 for a gen.

This is a replica so i am afraid to say you can't expect it to be same exactly like gen. The clasp also seems good to me . We will double check the rotor then get back to you soon

Thanks for checking, I'm ok with the date flip. I think the clasp will be aligned when I put it on.

Thanks for getting back to me.

ZF Aquanaut 5164A arrived today so took around a month from payment confirm.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this, but I'm happy to say it looked much better than the pictures. The dial and cash are finished very well. Not sure if it is exactly the same as the gen but looks like a Patek quality dial to me :) The date function uses the pusher on the right side. The local day night indicator works well. See through case back to the movement is great. Movement is much cleaner than the QC pics. Really sparkles.

GMT buttons and hand and home day/night indicator are not functional. The GMT hand pretty much just does what ever it wants. Sometimes its 5 hours away from the hour hand, other times its 8 hours away. In an odd way, its charming, but some could find it annoying/distracting. However, it really doesn't impact the watch in a meaningful way. Lume is very bright and evenly applied to the hour markers and hands. Lume is weak on the date hand, but that is to be expected as it is so thin.

Clasp has great finishing and the strap is very comfortable and feels similar to an Apple watch solo loop.

Size of the lug to lug is great for my 16.5cm wrist.

Thanks to the puretime team for a good product.

You obviously have no clue about what you're talking about... therefor you should zip it!
From 2015 up to 2018 if I recall correctly 23 was the same way as 25, then there was a dial update from PP where they inverted it.
