I began communicating with Sead on the 29th of July. One thing you must note about Sead is that he responds a day late. We are in the US and he is on the other side of the world. Be patient.

I sent payment on the 2nd of August. He confirmed receipt of payment on the 3rd.

On the 6th I got antsy and messaged him with this noob comment "Hey Sead, feel free to send me QC pics and/or tracking number whenever you get them! Thanks mate!". Don't bother. Apparently he does his own QC. I actually am writing these reviews before taking the plastic wrapping off the watch so I will update on quality later. But they look nice for now!

On the 9th (yesterday) after no QC or tracking number I messaged him again :X I said "Hey Sead, Do you have QC pics yet? Thanks!" Silly me. This morning I woke up and went straight to the computer. Was considering ordering some CONUS watches to hold me over from M2M until my TD watches came. Go and behold (I know wrong phrase), I went out to brush my teeth and a package was waiting for me on the table!

I want to just say thank you Sead for a new experience. Waiting is the hardest part in this game and the way you answered my questions from a diff time zone forced me to learn patience. Also the lack of tracking number gave me a huge suprise this morning when I walked out to see the box with the EMS slip on it :) Such distinguishable packaging.

One thing to note about Sead.... He wraps his packages super tight. There were no instructions on how to open and I got my finger stuck in the bathroom outlet. Enjoy!

Post note - Pre Pictures : Feel free to tell Sead that I'm the reason why you're ordering YM's from him, as I feel many of you will after seeing the beauty in these pics! Maybe he'll give me FREE super fast stork shipping next order :thinking:


Pics or it didn't happen :

First notes on the YM:
The date wheel shows a thin black line on the right side of all the numbers. I'm assuming that is from the underlaying machinery or just an outline on the datewheel?
Also there is no rehaut engraving on this YM. The bezel clicks nicely, I like the dial on this than other TD's, but the crown is a little tricky to screw in :( I should have splurged for the Asian clone. The tick is noticeably slower than my Swiss ETA, so I assume it is low beat? If you guys want a very nice YM I would get this and upgrade the datewheel, and bracelet (mid spacings too large).

First notes on the PVD hunter :
The bezel doesn't click the full 60/120 whatever. It clicks 24, but it does not center on 12 :(
The lume on the hands look a little dark. Also it may just be me but the gmt hand does not point straight up at 12 o clock. It does so at 1 o clock. This is an error I'm assuming? Or is the gmt hand able to be set irrespective? And if so can someone leave a comment? :D
The case is nice. The mid-links are too big here again. Overall nice watch, I can see myself putting alot of wrist time on this.

Gmt hand sets independently pull out crown like your setting the date wind crown in opposite direction of date and that sets the gmt hand..

This is a GMT bezel and a diver bezel, 24 click bidirectional is correct. The GMT hand does not align to all hour markers according to my GMT watch but nothing to worry about as long as it is working. And yes the GMT hand is adjustable by the crown.

I'm sure, you know, that Rolex never made PVD crap, right?
So, your watch is a pure fantasy.
