Damn.. didn’t make the CNY shipping cutoff.. for those waiting we’ve got to patiently wait a little if your packages haven’t shipped or QCs haven’t been received. Guess I am off to find a replacement dial.

Same here mate. Ordered on the 7th - no QC’s yet. So will jump down some ebay rabbit holes looking for a dial and bracelet for the next 3 weeks.
I think the Ruby dial looks great.
Maybe it’s me imagining things but those end kinks seem to be longer and better to accommodate the longer lugs of the TS6542.

Hi, thank you for this information. Is it possible to have the link to buy this bracelet?

I think they do, but I think it’s $100.. for $59 more you get the whole thing.

I ordered the week before you and got the QCs yesterday.. hang tight. This is probably the worst time to buy from China. I checked the ruby website yesterday and I think they sold the 2 6542 dials they had. Though, they can make any dial you want except it takes a month to make per what they told me. They are also almost $400 :/ — but the true gilt makes a huge difference. Check out their bracelet. It pretty much makes the lug issue almost a none issue as the end link are longer than the rep’s.

Well all, during my first full day of wearing the PC black dial version, the rivets fell off of the top of the first link. Lost the rivets, but luckily the first pin remained in, so it didn’t fall off. I checked all of the other rivets when I got home and they seem ok, but this leaves me with little confidence in the remaining ones, so it’s on a leather strap for now. Here are some pics in case anyone wants to see how they fit together.

Bummer for the bracelet!
but you re the first with the PC version, how is it? What are the size of the case and bezel? Is it big case 40mm? Can you please post some photos?

Dial is stunning! Great pic/macro with shallow depth of field - really makes the lettering pop, especially with the pink and red. Can wait to see the progress and final build.
