Newest Aquaracer Calibre 5 300m 2016 model

Every TD gets the exact same watch from the factory so you have to decide personally which dealer you prefer. But before buying I would ask them if they got the ones with the bezel aligned.

Both 12 and 6 marker are incorrect- cant believe the stuff with" genuine sample..."
Looks better in the cheapie

If you mean that the marker is approx. divided in half by the metal part in the rep but in the gen it's more like 1/3 vs. 2/3, then the marker @9 is also off.
However, for me it's more important they fixed the bezel, so I've pulled the trigger and ordered the blue one.

Yes that's what we meant. But we have to keep in mind that this is a replica and there is no such thing as a perfect one. I would still consider it as a super rep if build quality is good. Maybe you can post a few pics for us here if you get it.

Maybe putting the bezel of the cheapest version on this if it fits...

Dear bene1337, Trustytime is mentioned in the trusted dealer section, can you please explain to me how to understand the TD.
Thank you

Hi, Trustytime is NOT a TD here on RWI. He was some time ago but he isn't anymore (there is a thread somewhere in the general section explaining it). You will still get your watch when you order from him but the staff here won't help you if you have problems with him. Maybe you should spend some time on reading the new members thread. Everything is explained there.

Somebody ordered this one? I wish to order, but in the Puretime's site they didn't change te pictures, and in this way you order what you see in the description

I'm really interested in this watch. Perfect Clones has a 21j version for $188 that has the correct bezel markers but I would prefer the better movement if it is corrected.

 

[TigersFan]

I just confirmed with trusty time that the black dial with the 2824 is as shown on the website (i.e. Incorrect bezel markers).

 

[TigersFan]

Intime shows the exact same watch as trusty (same maker) with the correct bezel markers. I'm super confused. Has anyone actually ordered one?

A member on here posted QC pics of the watch with the rider tabs fixed. Looks nice!

 

[TigersFan]

Just saw those. I'm assuming if the blue dial is fixed the black dial will be as well.

 

[TigersFan]

After a few more emails trusty time confirmed the black dial issue has been fixed.

Yes, but he order the watch from a Dutch dealer, not a TD from here.. We hope they fix this little issue soon..

They have. There's only one factory producing this watch.

Just noticed the logo on the dial is wrong too!

You're wrong I'm afraid, they did get it right.
They have repped the 2016 model of the Aquaracer which has the new logo. It is the 2015 model (the one on the right in your pic) that has the old logo.
See here for an explanation about the differences between these models:

Yes, I think you're right. But still the hands, the pearl and the markers look wrong compared side-by-side. I was considering buying this but after noticing all these flaws I finally think of getting the gen. But not sure yet if I'll buy the Cal. 5 Aquaracer 43mm or the Carrera Day-Date 41mm with black dial and bracelet. Both watches are beautiful and I can't decide.
