Hey guys,

Gave my ok for shipping. However the 6 o'clock marker is crooked. But the rehaut is aligned and dw is centered. I probably get the marker fixed and the dial modded to a matte finish.

6 marker looks ok to me mate

 

[Smoki999]

Really? Probably the angle is playing tricks on my eyes...

Whats your opinion on the colour of the HE Valve? I think it's fine but I'm nit sure.

It is hard to tell in those pics because the 6 marker does look crooked to me, but it could definitely be the angle, too.

Take a ruler or the edge of your iphone and hold it over the pics on your screen to see the markers are okay (ever so slightly crooked...)
The colour of HE valve is wrong. It should be matte titanium gray. I've seen puretime selling versions with this HE valve...

I wonder why you don't find spare helium valves in the bay while you find tons of the old style valves...

Do you mean you have seen the wrong HE valve on Puretime? Does Ryan have the correct valve on his?

 

[maxracingshox]

Yes, the watches I've seen from him including the watch shown on his website.
The watch shown in this thread has the same He valve. It looks polished, which is wrong. It should be matte titanium instead.
Is this watch here from puretime?
His V2 also had the dssd hand, which is also wrong...
toro would be my personal recommendation when buying a 116600...

So who is the best person to buy the James Cameron Sea Dweller from and what should I look for to buy the best quality watch?

I am not into dssd's, sorry... But I think the current Noob V2 is really good. The engraving is too thin however.

This is what the Hev (it's gen) should look like, see?

This is from puretimes website:

And finally one from intime, which looks good:

So if they are all V2 Noob how can the HE valve be different?

Maybe it's the lighting.

 

[Smoki999]

I asked the QC team if the colour of the valve is wrong but they said to me that everything is okay. At first the hands seemed to be damaged but it was only the lighting.

However I will see it when it arrives

After looking at those pics it really could just be the lighting. The Puretime pics look really washed out. It might be totally fine.

Yeah when i got my BPSD the QC pics also looked like the HEV was polished, when it reality it was perfect .....


My old BPSD QC pic

And from another angle how it looks IRL

 

[maxracingshox]

Okay, that's interesting!
I'm excited how op's watch turns out (I hope was wrong...)
