Dial is different though isn’t it?

Here she be! Doing +1 second a day. I accepted it. DW needs some work but I have gotten good at centering them. No issue for me.

As luck would have it, DHL apparently attempted delivery of what I believe to be the first package as I was typing the last note. Must be going deaf as I didn’t hear the bell or a knock (I was literally sitting 10 feet from the door the whole time). By coincidence, as I went outside about 5 minutes later for something unrelated, I received a text from DHL that they attempted delivery and no one was home. Hmm.
So I missed the first package and should get it tomorrow. Fingered crossed. Will update everyone after I have some personal time alone with them... Can’t wait for the second batch to arrive in a few weeks(?). Bla, bla, sorry I keep rambling on about the details. Can’t believe I’m so excited like a kid for these things.

Did you get it?!

Very nice!

Thanks!

Love the fact that the pilot id number engraved on the caseback is different per watch. I’m 002-58. The other watch I posted was 013-58.

Now. Huge question. How does one size a folded link bracelet? I see myself buying a rivet bracelet.

so since this model is only being offered by Li, what exactly do I say to him to order it? Normally I would just link him what I want from another TD website.
Thanks

Looks really nice bro. A Ruby's albino dial alone is $250 so this dial is a big draw for me. I would definitely relume it and the hands though, just personal preference but a nice peachy puffy lume is just gorgeous on the albino dials.

Regarding sizing the folding clasp, the only way I know of is using the clasp adjustments. You could cut a link out if you had to, I've done that twice on reps where I couldn't get a screw out no way no how.

Possible you could remove a link with a bracelet puller. I have one but have never tried it on a folded link.

Got ‘me in! Black and white Pepsi’s from PC (non-TD). I’ll post pics ASAP after working. They are not as nice as Li’s based on mclarendude’s QCs. I haven’t received my QC’s from Li yet.
First quick impressions: bracelet is light and jingly, the white dial almost looks like MOP or a very light silver, one of the bezels sticks out vertically a bit one one side, the 2836s are rotors are very noisy. I need to fiddle with them a bit, but overall happy for the price.
Pics coming asap.

Ok, gents. Here’s what I received. Hope they load up. These are quick and dirty pics - not sales pics or works of art. No edits other than cropping. I tried to capture the albino’s color/glimmer/pseudo-MOP thing it’s got going on, which I can’t figure out yet. And the bezel height delta (no pun intended) on the pan am. Haven’t had any time yet with them. Feel free to chime in...

I like how they look. Rather crisp. No expert here though...

(sell me one of the bracelets LMAO)

These actually don't look too bad. I would have to do something about the cyclops, but I don't think these will take a gen spec plexi without some modification. Are the bezel teeth sharp?

The black dial lume looks OK, I would have to relume the white dial, it just looks ugly to me. I can see the slight granular texture on the white dial you were talking about.

The lugs don't look as long as my TS ones and the bracelet end link fit to the lugs is better.

If you get a chance can you post an outdoor daytime pic? The TS lume is kind of an ugly green in daylight, interested in seeing how these look. I wish they just hadn't lumed any of the bezels, none of the gens have any glow left of course. Just the color they are but non glowing would be so much nicer, the green shows in daylight.

Seems to be a good value for the price and could be really decent with a cyclops fix.

TS 6542 - note the lugs and HEL for comparison. Cyclops is OK.

IMHO They looks nice for that price, also the 6 issue on the bezel looks fixed... Not like on the website pictures
