My third order from Puretime, a VSF Kermit Sub arrived yesterday. Each watch came faster than the last! First watch took 3 weeks in shipping. Second one took just two weeks. This one from shipping date to delivery was seriously one week. Crazy! I’m in the US.

Unfortunately, as much as I’d love to give a report on the watch and share photos it’s stuck in our neighborhood mailbox! The mail delivery put it in one of our parcel boxes and left the key in our box. Well, the key wont open the box. So frustrated. Left the USPS a note in our box and will keep an eye out today and hopefully catch them when they’re here. 17f degrees here today and snowing. This will be fun. Hopefully have a watch soon that I can share a report on!

Braved the blizzard and intercepted the mailman this afternoon. The watch is beautiful. Every one of these VSF replicas I’ve opened has amazed me. I own gen watches and have worked for a Rolex AD years ago and the quality of these good reps is amazing.

Anyway, here are a few photos.

Only single complaint I’d make is the bezel seems to rotate too easily. Better than too tight I guess.

I just received the Same exact watch yesterday. Same on the bezel action, it seems light.
Also, so far, mine is running -20 secs~. Hopefully it will regulate a little bit.

Mine seems to be dead on timewise. All 3 VSF watches I’ve gotten seem to keep perfect time. Did you wind yours 20 or so times before putting it on?

I wound it like 5 times. Have had it on wrist for almost 20 hours now. Only took off to sleep last night. I intend to have it serviced and waterproofed by my local watch guy tho.
