First ever rep acquired through Trusty

[nostalgiahunter_]

Just placed my first rep order ever. After browsing each TD, I decided to give Trusty a shot and buy an Explorer II reference 1655.

I'll update this post as I go through the process!

Paid with MoneyGram on 1 February and confirmed received by Andrew this morning. Now waiting for the QC Photographs!

Received QC pics today, all of which look good and greenlighted the order to proceed!

What was your impression from the QC pics?

Interested to see the QC photos

What was your impression from the QC pics?

The QC pics looked pretty good, just as advertised on his site, and the timegrapher results look pretty decent as well for a Chinese-made 2813.

Really nice!! Are you planning on making any alterations?

Does this one allow you to independently move the orange arrow hand, or is it slaved to the main hour hand to tell the time on the 24-hour track?

Pics look great! Thanks for sharing. Be good to see some wrist shots when the watch is in hand

The only alteration I plan to make is to replace the Oyster bracelet with a Steel mesh bracelet, kind of like the ones on the Seamaster NTTD, and yes, the GMT hand is independently adjustable!

Looks good

A little late, but I just wanted to write to everybody that the watch arrived safely and I'm really happy with how it turned out!
By the way, does anybody know of a TD that sells Day-Dates with a blue dial and a gold case? I would gladly appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction!

Looks great @nostalgiahunter_ I am glad the watch arrived safely and I hope you get great joy from wearing it
