Trustytime accepts paypal. But you pay 4% or 5% more instead of getting 5% discount using bitcoin or transferwise payment.
I would not pay via paypal but you have to know mate, it‘s your choice.

Just received my QCs that I will accept.
The bezel doesn‘t look so wide anymore or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
Date font is still thin but it doesn‘t bother me so much tbh.
I am glad that the gold engravings are gone for both versions steel bracelet and rubber bracelet.

Is it me or does the movement look engraved, not printed? I'm looking particularly at the regulators "F S + -" markings. There seems to be 'depth' to them!

The balance cock was engraved from the beginning. Unfortunately it seems to be the only engraved part still... You can tell by the darker hue and lack of gold luster of the PP seal for example.
let‘s hope that they engrave it one day and don‘t get lazy like JF in the AP section as they had the monopoly for far too long until ZF blew them out the water.

I agree it does look slightly more thin than the previous batch. Here is my QC pics from March as a comparison

Regarding the v 1.1 discussion. I've just approved the QC for an 3K Aquanaut. It's from a non-TD here (it's TD at a sister forum).
I can attach the relevant QC photos regarding this matter, as i've approved them already.
I think this is a "v 1.1" as the date font is thicker than the V1.
Also it seems the gold markings are gone. Although there is something behind one lug, which can't be seen clearly. But it doesn't look like the engraving like in the early versions compared below:
Here is a picture from LuminorReptar for comparison:
Would you mind sharing the TD you used? Perhaps in a PM if not allowed to share (although, I suppose there should be no issue?).
Thanks!

I’ve used a TD from a sister Forum (RWG), who is not a TD here. I therefore am not aloud to share it. Sorry.
But you can use any TD to get it.
Sorry guys if this has been discussed before. Can somebody please tells which variation of dial the 3KF used to rep the 5167A? Because almost all gens I’ve seen have the “Swiss made” @6 o’clock
Really? Because none of 5167 from Patek own web site do not have the Swiss made.
https://www.patek.com/en/collection/aquanaut
From the research i've done on chrono24, the dial is from pre/incl. 2009. The dials from 2010 and up has the "swiss made" at 6. The seal on the back does not match this dial. The geneve seal goes with the "old" dial, and the PP seal goes with the "new" swiss made dial.
To sum it up, the 5167A watch you see on Patek.com is wrong, its a combination of an old 2009 dial, new 2010 and up back with PP seal, and white gold lugs, with stamps
So either someone in the marketing department is lazy, or they are trying to throw of copiers....
most likely this <<they are trying to throw of copiers....>>>>
and now we have the 3KF with a nicely done old dial, but the clone movement is wrong because have the wrong printed seal for the model.
I don’t think the guys at PP are that sloppy to have all this photos mix on their web site including the all mixup with the gold engravings on the SS model.

I write to request your thoughts on the difference in prices between different Dealers. I have found prices for the timepiece that range from 528 to 598$. Do you think differences in the quality of the work of different dealers can explain this substantial range in pricing?

So folks. I got the 3k 5167, and i can confirm that it doesn't have the gold engravings on the back of the lugs. The 3K strap is not so good. I've put it on a gen strap:
There is a little gap between the case and the strap, but the gen also has a slight gap (a little less):

Scroll back, I’ve made a post about fixing that gap with proper spring bars
