This just appeared on Puretime's website:

This looks definitely better now!

I've just pulled the trigger on this version - will post pics etc. when I get my hands on it.

I'm planning to drop in a VR3135 (hence my question about where best to source that movement a few posts back....!)

I got one from thrillofhunt . Took a little time to get here in CONUS but the movement works perfectly!

If you don’t mind, I would love to see your QC pics when you get them.

I know - but splash out on a VR3135 and then you've got a completely different watch!

Gonna wait for a a few years before being able to grab a cool kermit

 

[andyc]

Any of the helpful watch modders on this forum will be able to undertake that job for you - it's not a big deal.

Pure time seems to be the only one selling it. Anyone else find another TD?

I reached out ryanwayer at InTime on 7/17 and he stated that it’s not available yet and to check back in a few weeks. If puretime shows up with QC pics - I might have to reach out to them... Guess we will see. There’s definitely a difference between accepting orders and delivering on them.

I’ve been in touch with TORO for the last month. As of this morning he says it is not yet available nor is he taking any orders. I’m guessing some TDs might be taking pre-orders but it doesn’t look like it is deliverable yet. And from what some (members) are saying it might be more than a month away yet.

So, excuse my ignorance, but if there is No rehaut engraving, shouldnt it be a Flat 4 bezel? The new ARF comes with a normal one. Can somebody give me some light here?

 

[jamilton]

would you now where to get a jubilee for this ARF version?

thx

There are a lot of options: m2m, TD, eBay...
If you want the correct version it would be a 62510H with ‘50’ stamped end pieces and 502T end links to use the 2mm springbars. (no complete reps of this)
You can get a super jubilee 63600 but there will be a small gap and you will need to use 1.8mm springbars. (ARF is the best)

No worries. The “flat 4” bezel was only a short batch at 2003 launch. Then updated to “regular 4” for 2/3 years until the rehaut engravings started.
