Help! QC Pics possible flaw sub 116610 LN v5 noob

[bissell]

Hello guys, I'm a newb here and really need your help on a couple of things. I just received QC pics on what is supposed to be a v5 noob sub 116610 LN. Please see below for the QC pic and my questions regarding my possible flaw.

1. I'm color blind (I really am, have trouble telling some colors apart) - can you guys confirm to me this is indeed the LN (black) and not the LV (green)?

2. If you look at the bezel, there are some "marks" around where the pearl is to the right and left of it, and another "mark" between the 50 and 55 on the bezel, and yet another "mark" between the 10 and 15 of the bezel. The bezel area also looks strange where the bezel meets the crystal between the 20 and 25.

My first question can probably be easily answered and confirmed. Question two, worries me...what are these marks? Can anyone shed some light on this for me please?

The watch otherwise looks ok, the time graph tests were within range based on what I've read here at RWI.

Please help, as I have to make a decision in just a few hours! Thank you all so much!

(sorry pics didn't work on my first posting, but they are posted below on my subsequent posts)

Here's a few more pics to help answer my questions.

Yep that's the black one. I think this is only dust / dirt on the bazel, ask to your TD.

And another...

Thanks again..

It's been confirmed that this is an LN. Time for you to accept this lovely replica watch.

Hi, it´s a black ceramic sub and it looks very good; rehaut engraving and pearl are perfectly centered and it´s the most difficult to get.
The "marks" look like dust particles. If You want to bother the TD and make sure ask to clean it and another pic (goes for marks at 25 as well)

Datewheel is slightly to the left, it may be the angle.
SEL fit on the left side not optimal but acceptable.
Watermark crown on the crystal (seems) almost at 31 instead of 30 but it´s frequent on these;

I would not risk get a worse sample than this one, so I would accept it and be quite (very) happy - You are even lucky to get one, these have been sold out.

Thanks the replies so far....I most likely will accept. I actually ordered and paid for it over two weeks ago, so I've been very patiently (but excitedly) waiting for it!

I will consider any more opinions of my potential concerns before I pull the trigger. But I'm leaning toward going for it! Anyone else care to chime in?

 

[bissell]

I have accepted! Thanks again for the comments and opinions on my concerns.

Great looking watch - they just look like dust/smudges. I can't imagine they would send a QC photo with a scratched bezel

Congrats! The watch looks great! Keep in mind the pics can be deceiving because they are extreme digital close-ups.

Nice watch!!!!! You got a good specimen there!

Nice rep bro, it's nice that you took it!

So here's my question, if all the noob v5 sub-c's are out of stock, how did you manage to get yours?

I asked Toro, Ryan, and also the guy from puretime but they didn't have it in stock, and Ryan actually said to me it was going to be available only on april 1st.

Keep it up bro!

Yep, thank you sir. I have been on a waiting list for over two weeks and paid for it right when I ordered it. My guess is that maybe they received some but had to fill all the backorders first and maybe they don't have any left. If you want one, I would advise to order and pay, that way you'll have priority over others who haven't paid.

I ordered from Pure Time and they sent me a tracking number already. So far everything going as expected...as im learning. Glad I read a lot before I ordered though....RWI is such a valuable tool, and has some decent friendly folks.

I have received a piece of crap from PureTime. I ordered a 116610 LV noob V5 about 2 weeks ago and it arrived the day before yesterday. It looked very good when I took it out of the box, but as soon as I opened the clasp things started going downhill. The piece where you lift up the clasp was not attached in the middle, so it springs open everytime you lift the crown. There is no way this was not noticed when they took the QC pictures, because someone opened (possibly even broke) the clasp to take one picture. In the pictures themselves this was not visible. Even worse, the divers extension cannot be used. When it is set to the smallest setting, the bracelet won't fit in the clasp!!! Also, there is a "bubble" on the side of the clutch, perhaps indicating they found out and tried to somehow use the wrong tool to widen the clutch. All in all the whole clasp is a real piece of crap like you would buy in the cheapest market. The rest of the watch looks perfect, so it's a shame. Now I have to send it back and pay extra shipping costs because they screwed up... PureTime, never again!!!!

Relax. Contact puretime. See if they can send you a clasp, or bracelet.

Sheesh...If I were color blind I would order a 16613....it would look correct then. :tongue: J/k

Your watch looks good bud, buy it and dont look back.
