puretime any chance you will be replacing those dials? Even if we have to buy new dials. I’m really surprised you are not offering a response on this issue

Lucky you my bro, you got the cleanest tantalum available, if you get bored with it pm me.
That white rubber looks good on it btw!

I can still spot some of that glue there though (way less than mine). I'm still pretty shocked at the quality of this piece from puretime and surprised people are not making a bigger deal about it. The whole thing about not being visible with normal wear is not true actually. You can absolutely see it.

That's the cleanest one I've seen... Congrats on being so lucky.

I was wondering how could looks the Sincere Tantalum with a rubberclad bezel, since you're the serial bezel flipper of the forum...did you ever tried this combination? If yes, could you post a picture? Thanks.

One of the cleanest dial seen so far...

Thanks brother, I looked at it under 30x loupe and can’t find any varnish ooze from the markers.

What is the general consensus percentage of leakers vs clean dials?

I've been lurking for a clean one for more than 1 year, checked various m2m sales, "post your aps" threads and this one and for being honest there's not much clean dial.

If JF really produced 100 versions of this rep, we can say it's "rare" to get one clean.

I know I see you where ever the tantalums are! I’ve been lurking as well. Just for clarification, are you insinuating they made MORE or LESS than 100?

I can seem to count clean ones on one hand perhaps two hands....?

At this point, its “rare” to get one at all... to get one AND with a clean dial must be a different word, perhaps scarce or nearly unobtainable. ;-)

Can you attribute the to any event? Like UV exposure, temperature, moisture, opening it to mod it? What are we speculating the cause(s) to be?
