On closer inspection. Bezel pearl color is wrong, yellow looks off and date wheel font is incorrect.

I'm really disappointed with this one... Yellow is really off, it looks just like the old faded yellow avenger seawolf. Pearl is off too..

I was so excited but that faded looking closer...agree with all of the above.

On the plus side GF had a crack at the blacksteel deployant! And still making the bigger sizes.

Hope they have a crack at the Raven!

Ok so looking forward repping the blacksteel deployant I'm going to assume they would not have done so for one release...hoping there are more releases not too far off!

I think the pearl look good and I think the yellow will be better irl then under the lightning.
The datewheel is not great, that I agree on. I don't think GF will let us down.

Lucky for me there is a gen displayed at my local AD to verify... Ordered this one to see how it is but with no intention to keep it. I needed a set of rubber deployant straps and no TD wanted to deliver without ordering the watch.

Will report back when she arrives!

Greetz!

Very interested to see how the watch looks and maybe more so how well the blacksteel deployment has been repped as I may need to flip my gen if it is good enough!

Keep us posted mate!

Yes, the yellow looks much better. The fit and finishing looks great. I also compared this to some gen pics and all the details seem to be there.

We all know about the date wheel, but I am still not sure about the pearl color.

Bart Bever , please post some pics when you receive your watch.

Sorry guys... found a TD thats willing to ship the straps and deployants without buying the watch :)
The depolyants however I can test soon.
the yellow from the puretime website looks good. Also on the list at Trusty, sure the video will be uploaded soon.

Greetz!

Which TD will sell you the strap and deployment? I was considering buying the watch just to get the DLC deployment.

Hi guys,
That was also my idea but no one wanted to sell only the straps... until this morning Ryan from Intime replied they could do it.
Placed my order, still waiting for the confirmation.
