Gotta apologies first - still at work so pictures are from my phone, a couple with a loupe. Bracelet is currently taking a bath, which is also why there's greasy fingerprints in the pics. I am not a sub expert by any means, but my initial thoughts are - lume on the hands looks yellowish, insert is definitely improved over V7 - doesn't have the peachy colors of the gen but nice and bright in low lighting (perhaps a little too white). The case looks thick but it's been a while since I've had my v7, I'll measure it with calipers when I get home. Not sure if it's the dial or rehaut that's slightly off center. Missed it in Josh's crappy QC pics but not a big deal to me. Anyway, here we go:
I'm sorry. Looks as though your hydra ring is not flush as per pic 5. It looks too be coming out of your bezel and almost on your crystal.
Also your pearl is really tall, or is it just the pic?
Is this a 2824 or a 3135?
Also for all of you who say that the 3135 sucks. Please stop. The 3135 while isn't the best isn't bad. My brother has a noob V7 with a SA3135 running for over a year with zero issues. While I am sure some suck as do some of the A2824. I can for heck sake say that a SH3135 serviced will kick the crap out of an A2824 or A2836 and can take real rolex dial, date wheel, hands, fit is a Rolex spec case. Behave and run like a rolex 3135. The stigma of a rep 3135 running crappy was a few years back. They have come a long way and people just love too talk.
Great example. The new noob 4130. They spent millions on copying the rolex 4130. I put them side too side and they look identical. Down too the finish and the gold engraving. Only the balance shows the difference.
I got mine a few weeks back. I went too adjust the hands and the crown came out and won't go back in. Now one would flip out. A $700 watch came in broken. (It is a rep of a $12000 plus) watch. I sent it out to my rolex buddy and he is replacing the part that broke in the keyless with a rolex part. But the movement is amazing. Yes there will issues. But bottom line, I can put a real Daytona dial, hands, crystal, bezel on that bad boy. Look forward too doing it. And its 904 case and band too boot! Amazing.
