Pour ceux qui parlent anglais copie d'un post (cf MMs) venant de Repgeek a propos de Angus (Puretime) et l'ExplorerII

Ha, one comment on the EXP II and a whole page of stuff.
I will explain, it's very simple:
you are very wrong about the noobfactory and not taking input from Angus. Not making revisions via the forum as they
go and such. just go look at the EXP II thread, we've been involved from the very beginning. We got them to change the
lume and do many other things via the forum on this very watch. So with that said I will explain the comment:
Angus billed the EXP II, well he's advertising it as the first and only super rep rolex ever made. The best of the best, the
first and true leader of the rep pack. The new standard for noob rolex reps. After it''s release Angus had to come and
apologize because the watches being put out in qc were no where near the prototypes and were terribly sloppy. He blames
several factories having their hands in the watch and most messing up. The cases are bad he said, the rehauts are all bad.
He would like to have them all sanded and reengraved, but there's no time for that. The dials, especially on the white, are
a complete disaster. So much so that Angus has offered to replace every single white dial sold with ones from the V2 batch
when they arrive. The markers, the lume, the date window cutout, the dials are horrid. Not to mention things like the poor
endlink fitment that we were told early on would not be addressed. Noob said it was too expensive to try to get tight SELs
and that they weren't even going to bother to try.
so, super rep? not even close. not if the dealer is apologizing and offering replacements and such. He said they were so bad
that he had to tell his staff to not even bother to send qc of many of them, only of the best. in my mind this is a complete
mess. it's false advertising being blamed on factories they have no control over and it's a lot of high hopes let down.
this watch is being billed just like the EXP II. same thing but with tudor instead of rolex. the very first true super rep, blah blah.
so will these watches look as terrible as the rolexs on release? I hope not. I hope it really is a "super rep." and like I said,
I really shouldn't trust that it will be after that mess with the EXP II, but I'm trusting anyway with high hopes"
En clair : l'Explo II telle qu'elle existe est à éviter : trop d'écart entre le prototype proposé par Puretime sur son site et la fabrication "finale" ...donc attendre la V2 ...
