Thanks for the pics. Congrats on yours. Looks exactly like mine.
I love the clasp and perhaps I have low standards, or I'm lucky but I love the bracelet too :)

19mm lug width indeed. That doesn't leave you with a lot of options.

Got my QC photos today. The dial look rather misaligned so I asked for another. Hopefully I'm not being overly picky about it.

(using bitly because I heard imgur blocked these forums?)

Looks good otherwise. There aren't burn marks on the engraving on the clasp which is nice.

Another shot:

That's annoying. If you copy and paste imgur link into new tab it works.

I can also just try the one used earlier in this thread:

Someone also pointed out the coronet is misaligned, which I didn't really see until pointed out and drew a line down the middle in paint. I could live with the coronet but the entire bezel being off isn't my favorite. I asked them nicely to RL

Ah yeah. I was gonna say it actually looks nice but was wondering why they sent you a tilted picture. Then realized what you're talking about lol.

Hey folks, my first post on these forums!

After doing a lot of research (and finding this forum and Reddit's Reptime to be of great help), I have pulled the trigger on a UBF 114300 Red Grape from intime. I'm currently waiting to receive payment instructions and QC pics. i will post pics as soon as I get them. That green watch is gorgeous by the way... I would have bought it if they made a 36mm or 39mm version, but at 6'4" with 7.75" wrists, I'm afraid that 34mm would look tiny.

Hi Sv, welcome, I responded to your post on reddit. Smart to register here because mods won't help you with any dispute unless you were a member before you ordered. Like I said on reddit I agree with your 39mm decision. I'm a few inches shorter and wrist is much smaller and my 40mm submariner looks perfectly sized on my wrist.

I got an email today from puretime that I have to wait up to two weeks to get another watch in QC after declining the first one. They were rather insistent that the watch was ok so I think they might have been unhappy about my pickiness, but maybe that's just part of the game to move slightly wonky watches.

Hi and welcome. I've been waiting for some pics of the red grape, so I'm looking forward to these! I know several members are as well.

Also just keep in mind that QC is a little different here than on Reddit. QC pics are ok when they are to benefit the community for educational/research purposes. Like "hey, here is what this looks like in case anyone was wondering." Or if you have a specific question or concern about your watch, then that's ok too.

Please keep us posted!

good to know about the QC.

to be honest, i have previously bought a 50 dollar OP (the njshao off dhgate), and although in extreme close-ups i can see the flaws, at arms length it's pretty perfect. i don't think the UBF could be worse in that respect, but then again, it does cost 6 times as much so a certain level of perfection should be attained...

i haven't received any pics yet from intime (but several emails from ryan, so communication is there), but when i do, i will post a few pics.

The indices look slightly askew but all UBFs seem to have that. The dial is also somewhat misaligned in the same way mine was but it's not quite as bad and I doubt it will be noticeable on the wrist. I'd say go for it
