PureTime has a much better version at a FAR better price...

Other than price, they seem to be the same?

The PT version uses the ETA 2846 movement which is the slower beat (21,600 bph) and would be closer to the original Rolex movement that ran at 19,800 bph. WE uses the 2836 that has the faster bph.

I agree with rol man and no one!

Great info. Are there any obvious flaws on either? The drilled lugs look the right size and even have the correct looking spring bars. The Crown guards look a little fat. Anything else?

The bezel should be a little wider / flatter, wrong number on the end links, but none of those things are particularly obvious to 99% of people.
