Hey Brochachis and Sheelas. Looks like we got ourselves a new LB. From the mighty Noob factory. (These Chinese factories need better names) At a glance so far, it's featuring a new dial; blurple is gone, [long live the blurple dial]

The price is an eye-watering six hundreed and twenty eight freedom dollaridoos, which is almost $900AUD (aka an average weekly, take home wage in Australia) Which brings this piece into TC category (if it still existed)

Oh and we got ourselves 360' gold bracelet links. Yeah, the 2D gold links are gone, we now have 3D gold. It goes all the way around. Anyway, here it is: https://puretime.io/submariner-11661...-a2836-v8.html - now who want's to bankroll this piece and then share their disappointment via a comprehensive review?

That's a flat blue dial isn't it?? Can't see any sunburst in it.

Not bad, looks close to my gen. Dial color is good in the pics.. but its always in person that makes a sunburst look right or wrong

Looks like they finally rounded off the corners of the 6 and 9 indices too

Shame about the flush SEL

It definitely has

But it doesn't help that Puretime has to run a dedicated nuclear reactor to power it's website pic lamps

The shade of gold looks nice - very light in tone, not coppery looking.

Nope, definitely a sunburst...despite the horrible lighting they used you could still see the sunburst on this shot

Hey most of you guys are bawlers yo.

I just spent my pennies on a new exhaust system for my bike, so my bank account is currently displaying a 'No bueno' status for purchase of further toys - is no one interested in this piece; or just don't feel like sharing the QC pics?

... Or just as broke as me?

to copy over what I put in the other thread on this but altered a little since seeing those qc pics -

Quickly comparing it to my Gen , bezel numbers still too dull.

Blue colour is not quite right but close

I still think dial print looks a bit crap , Too flat and dull.

Still has those blocky 12,3,6,9 markers but hour markers look good and rounded

Gold looks way too brassy on TD pics , but not too bad on the QC ones.

Date/cyclops lots better than the JF which always looked distorted to me.

SEL PLATING !! Sucks , Wrapped so now there is a visible layer of "gold" over the bare stainless which imo stands out even more than plating and bare sel side
