This is a great post from a noob.
However while I agree this thread is getting a bit nitpicky, I think there's a lot of good information and warnings here for noobs looking to buy this watch. The alternative is that nobody whines and complains, and this happens to everybody that places an order. We'd have noobs doing PayPal disputes left and right. It's one thing to read a post saying "trust me, keep your expectations low." It's a whole different story to read "keep your expectations low, here's why..."

Just a quick note.
Spent the last half hour or so Loctite 222'n the bracelet screws on my V3, as since it arrived, 2 seperate screws had somehow worked loose. Never ever had this issue with my V1, maybe something to watch for lads if anyone manages to land one.
I gave them all a quick torque up when I removed my initial links so could be a flaw. Not saying it is, but just keep an eye on them troops.

I'm waiting for BMW to chime in on this one. Perhaps angus should still post upcoming news but first should help the factories put the old versions on sale to clear the stock. THEN release the news and get everything dialed in. But the responsibility shouldn't be on PureTime alone. either way I like the news of upcoming models.
If this happened with ANY other watch it wouldn't have been a big deal. It's the submariner though.
I'm still waiting to hear what size gasket and where to buy it for the crystal to be gen spec or close to gen spec height.
The TC is still the best IMO but my style is more 116610 then 16610.

My v1 did the same, loctite was needed but I used the weaker one not the 222. I'd suggest the strongest possible for a watch. So I guess 222 it is.
ive told u 2.7mm is the gasket size for gen spec crystal height.i had my bp gasket shaved ages ago
Thank you I recall seeing it ages ago for the BP but wasn't sure if the noob v3 had the same specs and maybe needed a different size gasket then the gen to achieve that height.
Also is a shaved gasket as water resistant as a non shaved gasket?
ive found out the platinum plating the insert can be done easy.first they need to use a conductive spray then the platinum can stick to the numbers.you can even buy home kits,most electroplate company's can do this job.and jewellers.i think ill try to find someone to try this out on an old bp insert to see if it looks legit
That was originally my point a couple months back... why waste all this effort with paints that rub off when it's possible to plate the insert with the metal itself. It shouldn't be too expensive either. Home kits for gold plating are pretty cheap, the same electrolytic properties apply to plat metals.. I just wonder how difficult it is to get the plating on only the numbers
got an email from ryan took ages for a reply .and looks like im not getting my qc pics on the 5th now.im definitely going to get a refund if he dosent sort this by the end of the week.and get a tc ,or go with sead
I would wait it out, while yes the TC is awesome and sead is legit, if you wait I think Ryan will go the extra distance for ya, just let him know.
