The strap on Puretime's website is not the same strap in that video. PT strap is clearly stamped crocodile pattern on leather. The watches in this video look like 2 gens.

No its a GEn and a REP.
Its hard to tell but you can see that the hands are not as perfect on the REP.
And the dial is just a bit darker on the rep.

Yeah i see that now. But the strap on PT site is shite. That would be the first thing that goes when I pick this up. Or hold out for the bracelet ;)

REP leather straps are never the same. maybe its quite good .... otherwise I will get a Hirscher or Camille Fournet strap.

I think I will give this watch a try at my next order.

I can't decide. All of them look amazing. Just on blue there is a side by side comparison and I don't know how the other dials are compared to gen.
So I might wait for some more shots from the other dials.
Anyway I don't have a blue dial in my collection yet so might be worth to go blue.

No another comparison, only blue gen sample
I will go RG bezel grey dial look more accurate than blue .

Would be nice if you could share some qc for comparison when you get them. Thanks!

The sunburst seems a bit too strong. But it's hard to say if it's not next to the gen.

The blue they had the gen sample to replicate / manufacturing it from so I guess the closest to gen is the blue.

Blue under sunlight side by side big difference, I don’t trust any blue Rep with sunburst.

I see you have changed your original posts ! However i wished you have said the above when you originally posted the comparison pictures and videos, and declared it a new 'super rep' with others then chiming in and agreeing ! The consensus was then that BLUE was the way to go ,but there seems to have been some editing to this thread . Reason i have an order placed an order for the blue on the strength of the original thread :D.

Never mind i should keep my own council , never purchased a watch this early on release always wait to see if opinions change , Caveat emptor and all that . Personally i have looked at many comparison videos of the blue dial looks good to me . Personally the grey dial looks wrong too bright and the sunburst is too strong . Also that gold plate will soon rub where it is positioned on the bezel, especially one shaped like that .

Anyway time will tell , you live and learn .

I think Repworld was speaking generally. That blues often have this issue. I also think that the grey is too strong and has a slight purple hue in it.

From the side by side pictures and videos I really think the blue looks very good. I might pull the trigger next month.

Yes correct, but the grey very near from gen , I shared long time ago JJF Hublot Blue GEN VS REP dials , exactly same issue, don’t trust comparison ..
