Ordered last week from PT. Will update once QC pics are received. Got pics for another watch on the order but none for the 126600.

This is my first time attempting to post photos via Tapatalk. I always use Flickr but I cannot seem to get the appropriate code/links on the iPhone. Hope this works!

Would be perfect if ARF made 904L Submariner finally

A couple more pictures to show the bezel teeth. I emailed the TD to confirm it’s the updated model, but the question went overlooked in his reply. So this may or may not be updated :)

I don’t know if this is the updated but 6s and 8s look good! Bezel teeth is the same but who cares?? By the way this is Toro QC I see there so maybe they received some stock

You will not regret the Seadweller brother. It is the best OTB rep I have seen, even better than the ARF daytona. There is nothing that immediately screams to me that needs fixed. THe bezel teeth are more of an issue on the internet than IRL, you really don't notice it in person. The crystal is fantastic for a rep, the bezel insert color is spot on, really a killer rep. First one in a long time, I have no plans whatsoever to mod.

Post Pictures Man, I think everyone in this thread is dieing for pictures. ARF, JF, OMF where do these guys come from I have seen some new Omega Reps from OMF that are so good..it just amazing the quality improvement over the last years. I'm just not a Daytona fan though I can appreciate the Quality

Just received QC from my TD, he says the factory did not update the datewheel at all. Can anyone confirm or did I receive the old batch?

Got a question regarding my QC pics as well. The magnification looks really big, can I post a picture?

AFAIK you can post QC as long as you have a specific issue you’d like for us to look at.
