Hey everyone! Did my 3rd order with PureTime, and this time bought the black ceramic one that we are all craving here. Will show you guys as soon as I get the QC from them :)

Saw a blue QC on reddit earlier. Dial is still more bluepurpley unlike gen which is more bluegreen.

Similar to the 15500s, still looked good though

Its like in wvery industry, there are reputable names which have proof of service. Each his own.
True. I’ve used a wide range of dealers, from the trusted ones on this site, to ones with websites but not part of the cartel, to ones that only use WeChat/WhatsApp for orders. I’ve had good service from the trusted dealers, but also bad (months-long wait times, poor communication, hazy QC pics, trying to pawn off obviously flawed watches, slow shipping, etc.) but also had great service through WhatsApp (quick communication in decent English, clear QC with video, fedex shipping for same price trusted dealers’ charge for international post, and less expensive product). If ever I get screwed there’s not much recourse of course, but that hasn’t happened.

As with everything, if you do some research you can save money and have a better shopping experience, or pay more for ease of use.

Rep (Obviously):

Gen:



A few observations based on these two pictures:

1. Side Profiles: The side profile of the Gen bracelet appears oblong, which likely makes it more flexible and better suited for smaller wrists. In contrast, the Rep bracelet has a more rectangular side profile, which could reduce its flexibility.

2. Number of Fixed Links: The Rep bracelet has 8 fixed links, whereas the Gen has 7. This is advantageous for individuals with larger wrists but might pose a challenge for those with smaller wrists, like me.

3. Bracelet Thickness: From the pictures, the Rep bracelet seems thinner than the Gen. However, a hands-on comparison is necessary to confirm this.

A Better Picture of the side profile of the Bracelet:



Here the links do appear to be slightly oblong but not as rounded as Gen.
Bezel thickness seems different as well?

the side profile of the bracelet can be fixed ? If yes do you think it would be expensive?

Good observation. The division of the bezel (sloped and straight surfaces) seems different from the pics posted, but I do not know if actual thicknesses differ.

Since the rotor is black / dark grey and the font is wrong, I wonder if you can make a tungsten one without color coating and with the right font.

Since it's a first release and limited qty.... I wouldn't be surprised if they release a V2 with the correct rotor font.

THEN FUCK SOMETHING ELSE UP LMAO
