- Thread starter investinwaffles
- Start date
This means you received it?!! Would be great for you!
It has been itching to take it for a swim but I won't risk it. I'll take it to a watchsmith before I'm leaving on Holiday. And I'll go diving!

Luckily I bought a pressure tester some weeks ago, so I'll water-test mine when it arrives in a few days

I also bought a tester on eBay. Test to 6atm or 9atm at a push. I'll be happy with 5atm!!

Any recommendations?
Hi you, my v3 is on its way! Hopefully i recieve it in a few days
I think i will bring the watch to the nearest watchsmit here in town to do a waterproof test.I dunno seems impractical
I'm a diver
Usually I set my dive start time while bobbing on the surface of the ocean about to descend
Not a good time for an awkward move
Also how are you supposed to unscrew and rescrew the crown under those circumstances
To me this is totally impractical for actual diving
(not a rep issue of course, gen is same)
Doesn't mean its not a nice watch but I think I'll stick w a 243 for actual diving
Mine was shipped on 5/30...I hope I will get it by 6/4 as I am away for 2 weeks in Hawaii visiting family...
I actually asked Doris if I should have it shipped to Hawaii instead but didn't get a reply...Hopefully the package doesn't get returned.

The problem as I see it is that a dealer creates high expectations when the replica is touted as as 1:1 with side by side breakdown pictures that are fantastic. That's what I expect then. And prices have gone up to reflect the higher quality reps. I don't remember similar QC variations from watch to watch with other replica watches that I have purchased over the years like the Hublot BB, Ceramic Sub, Pam111n and Pam Diver. I think the pre-order craze is a problem as the dealer is pressured to get out a 1000 watches ASAP.
+1
Ordering the watches when they are actually available could maybe help avoiding all the drama.
does it really ship and arrive that fast?!
I'm on the west coast was wondering what the fastest would be with EMS, and I'm talking actual arrival to the states/ not counting time in customs jail
Normally three days to customs, then ???? Sometimes it clears in 1/2 day sometimes 3 or 4 days.
I'm in Atlanta, and I have received packages as quick as 4 days at my door via EMS from China........ And as slow as 12 days from the same TD..
here's the 2nd watch from PT's QC:
I think this one is a huge improvement to the first (first one the bottom half of inner bezel markers were way off)
The only thing I can see is that in the straight front shot, the triangle isnt perfectly aligned (can probably be rotated) and in turn the 3 o clock marker isnt aligned perfectly. I asked for them to align it at 12o clock and retake picture.
anything else you guys see that I have missed?
the lume also looks pretty good:
