Ahh man it's a nice looking watch and I don't mean to ruin your parade but this looks like the old movement?
Andrew has always refused to show movements. That way he avoids an RL if the factory doesn't supply what was ordered.I just ordered a 16618 black/gold from Andrew and asked for a QC photo of the balance. He said it voids the warranty of the watch for them to open it but I said I don’t care.
has everyone else who’s received one, opened it up to verify the movement?
Getting a surprise SH3135 is definitely a bummer but if it does happen it's not the end of the world.
VR3135 V1 has come down quite a bit in price. Last I checked they were around $70 on Ali Express.
Agree bro I wasn't trying to defend it, just soften the blow a little. Things like this happen we often have to figure out a way to make ourselves whole again.Yes, I agree with you but again, this is a big thing actually because I’m pretty sure lot of the buyers who took the plunge here where in also because of the VR movement .
Yes, can swap adding. a VR but this will come at a cost which basically take this watch at 400-450 dollars or even more if you go to a watchsmith and not do it yourself
But is not about the value is about the misleading informations from the sellers and this is not good for the industry
Yes yes, I know you didn’t defend itAgree bro I wasn't trying to defend it, just soften the blow a little. Things like this happen we often have to figure out a way to make ourselves whole again.
Same here, I was in between BP and ARF, one strong point was in BP the VR.the SH/VR confusion was one of the reasons i skipped the latest ARF version![]()

Then I noticed the cyclops was missing, and it had a HEV, and it was a Sea Dweller.
