Thanks for the reply! Which TD if you don't mind me asking? I see TT, PT have it available to order.

My order is with TT, ignore the website saying in stock lol

Just got QC and think it looks lovely, but is the whole face a tiny bit rotated? It's mostly the 12 marker. All other aspects look amazing.

Without delivery cost, but before discounts for wire etc., my quoted price from JTime was $358, including the rubber strap.

Did you ask them or are you just browsing their sites? Just because they have it listed there doesn't mean they can actually get it

Yah thanks for pointing that out. I asked Andrew about the black SMP and he gave the usual disclaimer “popular watch models on waiting list will take a longer waiting time”. I’m looking at the chrome dial variant and I’m thinking ORF is the way to go.

Soooo, the ORF changed to lower quality parts after raids or what? Is it still the better Seamaster option?

Still the same parts, the ones with lower quality were dealers fobbing people off with watches not from ORF.

Nice to hear that. Placing my order for a black ORF then, after these awesome pics in the thread!

Anyone tested the water resistance in these ORF’s? I take my high end subs and sea dwellers to swimming al the time planning to use the Seamaster same way

“Waterproofed to 30m direct from Factory” you may as well interpret that as “swim at your own risk”

Hard to say as the pics choices are poor. Need to see the escape wheel on movement and better case/ cg pics would help too. Everything important looks obscured in those pics!

ORF Lug serial is correctly there and also “PROFESSIONAL” & “MASTER” words are centered well like ORF but do you say that I should ask for better pics?

on that cheapie, lug serial was different and the above words were well close to the wave on left side.

 

[Replisimio]

Cheaper one has correct serial on lug but not on the movement as it uses a VSF movement plate so ends in 388. Also many ORF’s have had dial print not centered. Crown guards and movement serial will confirm.

Hey I also requested more pics but while checking the current qc I found a CG Pic. Would that help while additional pics are coming?

The serial number is correct for the ORF, looks legit to me. Who is the TD/Seller you're using? Like everyone else has said you need better pics of the movement. Should look like this. https://clickpix.org/image/zxs5aj.j5Vm9S

 

[Fedon06]

my TD is Trusty and he wont share better pics as he says. He just says the serial on movement is same as on lugs. I think he speaks the truth but why resist to share a damn pic to relieve a long-time customer that has bought like 10 watches from you up to now? also, after he said that ORF is available and received the payment, I had to wait 4 weeks as he replied orf is not "in stock" .... time to change my TD I guess. Sourced watches from Li at Jtime several times before and never had these problems...
