I loved the Doha but I think this rep had it's issues in being too simple.
1.) rep makers may have not been as serious because this is an "easier" ap dial.
2.) being a simpler roo, the finish and quality and overall perfection of things will stand out more. Being why gen looks do great. And rep does not.
I think it being "simpler" made it worse. When there are less "distractions" for the eye, small details become more evident.

+1000....
But this will not prevent this model to sells good
As long as we (customers) will buy this kind of rep with easy flaws, then factories will not worry about it !

I could potentially be very interested in one of these, but there are a few issues that need addressing, and clearly no one can give us a real world idea of the quality with all these delays. It seems that this is the way with all the well anticipated AP's; they take an age to get out and are usually long after the initial date given, and many months after 'advanced orders' are placed on many occasion.
I think everyone is waiting to know just exactly what these are like....
Kudos to those who had the cojones to pull the trigger. We all eagerly await your reviews

I think it looks great and won't be picky like the rest, however I lost interest in this piece only because the darker colors were not my favorite, however the watch is stunning and if I could buy them all I would purchase this, but again for me as someone said, this watch would be a box queen for me

I'am really sorry mate that i point all these but i think your clasp is also wrong.
The doha at the PT homepage shows a black clasp.
But i can't find a pic from a gen doha with visible clasp at the web. So i can't say which one is right.

Actually the watch looks good. I cancelled my order and ordered another watch due to the non-availability of stock at that time.
The 6 o'clock chrono hand needs to be reset, and the clasp color needs to be clarified.
Other than that, the dial looks good. I like the color of the strap!
Ok, the gen Doha has a TI clasp like the BB. so i think it should be dark and not silver.

I would have ask Puretime to reset the 6 o'clock subdial or to get an other Doha if i were you.. This looks like it's stuck or the movement has an issue..
The rest looks ok. We still don't know if the case is titanium? And i don't understand why they put a SS clasp on this watch when it should be Titanium..
This is getting frustating all theses stupid mistakes on this watch! Really disapointed

+1. Its frustrating and disappointing when the maker releases info that a popular model is going to be repped, then following the mounting anticipation over the period following the release, creates an anticlimatic finish by releasing a rep full of egregious errors and odious details. If they wanted to release a close to gen replica, the least they could do is to get the major details correct, and as many finer details correct as possible. The definition of "accurate" varies from one collector to the next, but our expectations of a maker do tend to increase in correspondence to prior successful releases. The Doha rep watch is a nice watch on its own, but if you are expecting a "close to gen" watch, then it is a failure given the glaring flaws. I still like the look of the rep Doha, but I am treating it as a fantasy watch that might look good on the wrist, and not a replica watch that is close to the gen.
I strongly suggest asking for another watch!
I had the same issue with a HBB, dealer said it's just not properly reset and gave new pics with a perfectly reset chrono hour counter. So I ok'ed the watch.
When the she arrived I noticed that the chrono hour counter is always moving, regardless whether the chrono is engaged or not. My watchsmith told me that something in the movement is broken...
