Agreed, looks pretty nice. Looking forward to a detailed comparison between V1 and V2. Just spent a ton of time reviewing the original ARF Sub thread, but am curious to see if there will be any noticeable improvements to the trained eye.

I'm very much interested, too. Being a noob this was my first rep I got from Andrew (TD on the other forum). It has SH3135.
It looks great to me, works fine and I like it a lot. But this Puretime says SH3135V2.

Apart from the better looking sel in puretimes pictures, it is the same watch. The upgrade will be the movement. We need to be patient until after CNY unfortunately to see it.

Chinese New Year - the country shuts down for a few weeks basically. Workers down tools. Nothing goes in our out. Even the twelve year olds in underpants building our watches are given extra gruel and a few weeks off (unpaid). Tis a wonderful time of the year.

In reality most Chinese factories only close for the week. I deal with several different types of factories in China directly. The main issue for supply at this time of year is shipping back logs due to the Chinese NY. Maybe the Chinese underworld gets extra vacation days ????‍♂️

Guys there's another thread on this model it's not the watch that is V2, it's only the movement. Look closely at the title on Puretime. So no change otherwise

Biggest issue is space as all carriers, air & sea, are over booked. Yes the official Lunar Holiday is 7 days but in reality it’s more -or longer than that. Pre carriage is also an issue. Email auto reply is already in affect the Asians include everyone but their grandmother on all cases!
