Hey guys - just wanted to stop by and share my new acquisition from Puretime. Probably most of you already know this watch (link) but I wanted to share some photos (which to be fair ... make no justice to the watch).

First my impressions: This is not a cheap replica out of the box ... but it feels very good on the wrist. The watch is light and very well finished. The case back looks perfect and so does the strap. The end links are made of titanium and also well finished. The crystal is very clear ... well I could go on but I'm sure you can read all the details on their site.

So here is the watch:

Everything very flush ...

Needles to say that the transaction was smooth as butter ... no wonder they are trusted dealer, and this is my second purchase from them. :D

It seems we have very similar taste in watches I have recently ordered the Rolex Sub-C from PureTime and I've been looking at this watch also. Looks beautiful!! How is the movement?

I think the hour hand is improved but the noob may still be a more bright shade of white. Honestly this version does a bit more for me.

The hour hand looks white ... I think my cellphone's camera is just not good enough to show that.

I'm not really sure if the noob's version is whiter per say ... I guess I would have to look at them side by side. Part being that these are cell phone pictures ... sorry. In any case I've added another picture below from the face and a lume shot.

Good choice mate.

I posted my pics in another thread, there's nothing grey at all about the seconds hand :lol: !!

It's an awesome watch! It does still need a Guru MD crystal on it IMO, make that dial really pop!

I wish they would improve the hour hand, but I do have to commend on the inner bezel lume application. It looks legit!
