Just pulled a trigger on the V4 from Trusty Time - 10% discount was too good to pass up. First rep purchase in a couple of years, and been eyeing up this beauty ever since the first trailer of the movie. It's great to see that Western Union has gone to the wayside and now we can make payments via Credit Cards

O
I know in the market,there are some other versions of this no time to die,like from ORF,from AGF, from the link in your pic of that dealer,in this site,when I search no time to die of Chinese,only find this AGF's version, https://a202111041317341460003592.s...1041317341460003592/I202111041453506730001435 in another TD's site,I found AGF's version is with black balance wheel,you can see it below, https://trustytimewatch88.io/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_83&products_id=23961 in another version from ORF, https://trustytimewatch88.io/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_83&products_id=24315 you can see,it's with black balance wheel also, usually,for this NTTD,the best version is from VSF always,VSF is better than ORF,ORF is better than AGF, 90% of it I sold are from VSF,10% of it I sold are from ORF,I haven't sold AGF's version so far, you can see the pic 7725 below also,it's a pic of the movement from ORF's version,it's with black balance wheel indeed,but it's from ORF,not from VSF, sometime,some dealers will say some updates of a watch deliberately to attract customers,I heard these news many times before.
So no new version for her ...
Lucy said me for my order :

I'm just surprised to see no code in bracelet like the V4 version.
Quality is ok. The problem is version.
TD said me no new V4+ and finlay yes.
And my question is : problem I don't want pay V3 version for price of V4+ version (500 not 400$). I can't see V4 details.
@bertieng don't need to be agressive and sarcasm...
Poor education. Be relax
I actually agree with @Pladex on this one. My pre-raid VSF V4 does have the serial numbers on the bracelet. On those pictures I cannot see them. In fact, those grainy pictures don't help the case... If a customer is paying for a top-tier VSF V4 version he should not be getting a cheaper alternative for that price. That is a rip-off.
This business is based on trust, and if a "trusted" dealer sells a V3 or something else of lower value as a V4, I think he is no longer very trustworthy. We wouldn't let it slide on an M2M sale, so why should we let a TD get away with it?
I don't mean to overstep my place, but can someone more knowledgable chime in on what factory/version that is? If it indeed is not a VSF V4 and assuming the V4 is what @Pladex ordered (and paid) for I would suggest opening a support ticket and presenting the mods with any proof to support this claim (exchanged emails, payment receipt...) because if the TD in question indeed charged for a V4 and is trying to push some cheaper article, that is a serious breach of trust...
Don't get so hung up on it being the latest and newest version. As I mentioned, you can't see the balance wheel on a closed caseback, which makes this a rather moot point, and as far as I know that is the only change. Just ask Lucy for a V4. She has always done right by me, and will probably find you a good example too.
TD are not everytime “trusted”, i’ve recently buy from a RWI TD a Rolex OP 36mm with VR3230, QC was good for me…i ask for movement photos and when i get the movement QC the movement was a SA3230…i refuse QC a that point waiting for other QC…after one week the send me new QC without movement detail, i also request movement QC..after that they send me QC with the VR3230…if i didn’t ask for movement QC they sold me a different low quality Movement…next time i’ll chose for sure another TD!!!

Upppsss sorry!!!! how can i delete the post???Just everything, you cant post your QC just to ask for approval!!!
I know it's a long shot but has someone tried to take off the bezel and see if intechangable wih an old SMP Bond bezel (non ceramic)?
Or simply, did someone measure the innner and outer diameter of the bezel?
I am considering swapping this bezel to an older SMP
Thanks!

Hi Guys, this has gone very quiet, I want to get Good Reps of the Bond watches even my Genuine ones, what is the best company to use please, who might let me a haggle a bit as I am spending a few pennies. I suppose it's the postage that worries me these days, I hear of people who are getting hit high taxes and postage fees for car parts and genuine watches. One person said it's cheaper to fly over to Geneva from London to buy a watch then having it posted since Brexit
Just received my V4 from Trusty. Paid extra for the band + bracelet. I'm highly impressed, the rotor is not noisy (not quiet either though) I would put it right in the middle of the noisiness rep isle. All of my 7750 based watches are significantly louder
The only imperfection is that my 12'oclock markers are slightly clumpy if I put my watch right up against my nose
I had gens that had worse QC
I prefer the way this watch sits compared to my spectre version which quite boxy and proud
Highly recommended

So an update on the watch. The good parts still stand
The not so good:
Slightly Blotchy Lume on the markers
Poor Lume (my other dive watches are all significantly better)
The lume on the hands do not match the shade lume on the dial
Slightly wobbly bezel - can be a good thing as its guranteed to align to 12' O clock by using the slack between clicks
The factory can go a long way by getting better Lume supplier
Very impressed by the alignment of the dial
So, do we still have good Lume Watch Specialists? I believe five years ago there was a guy who did a really good job

Try to charge it with UV light. Mine popped and lasted throughout the entire night (dimming much like other lume.)

Honestly I highly doubt that reluming it would make you happy at all - The light brownish colours on the dial, markers and bezel are a special composition and it would be hard to hit the right colour (uncharged). In the end chances are high, that you have a better glowing watch, that looks very off when looking at in the daylight
