Hello, rep watch afficionados!
I ordered an AP Royal Oak 41mm 15500 SS ZF 1:1 Best Edition Black Dial V3 on Feb. 16. Paid via Western Union on Feb. 17. Payment confirmed Feb. 19. Then waited for the anticipated, post-CNY ramp up.
Happily, QC photos arrived today! I'm very excited, as this is a first time rep purchase from Puretime, and I was afraid ramp-up might take longer after CNY. Very happy with timing, and glad to see the clone 4302 caliber movement!
Three questions regarding QC:
(1) Both exhibition case back shots place the skeletonized rotor in nearly the same place, obscuring text I had hoped to examine: Namely, whether "Thirty-Two (32) Jewels" or "Thirty-Two (32) JewEES" is inscribed. Since the caliber plate is inscribed with "AJ6452" as on Puretime's product page--which in the V3 correctly inscribes "Thirty-Two (32) Jewels"--I presume the text is correct, though I cannot examine it. Should I ask for another pic or presume it's correct?
(2) Rotor color is very orange. Of course lighting and camera can change apparent color significantly; also factories probably swap alloys regularly. But it does look quite different from the product page's rotor. (https://puretimewatch.io/royal-oak-...n-ss-bracelet-a4302-super-clone-v3-24043.html) Thoughts?
(3) With +14 sec per day timing, is it likely this can be regulated nearer to true time by a watch smith? Apologies, I'm new to the rep watch space.
Would appreciate any thoughts and/or opinions! Thanks guys, very excited about my first purchase!
