Report on 4th day of usage.
The watch is 15 seconds faster a day and upon checking up the movement, the fine adjuster is set at positive. Now I have adjusted it back to the middle and now I can confirm that this can be fine tuned to COSC specs.
I have taken it for a 2 hours swimming session with approximately maximum depth reached of 2 metre :lol: No sigh on leak.
The caseback gasket is abysmal. It's really thin and nothing resembles the thick genuine
gasket. I highly doubt that this will work like the gen in terms of depth rating.
He valve is obvious faux. I found no connection to the innerside of the case. And so is the pusher. You can press but nothing happens.
Crown construction is one of the best I have seen in a watch. It is not shaky, has a big tube and supported by the 2 pillars part of the crown guard.
AR on the crystal is good but easily scratched. Mine as quite a huge line/wearing off stretching from 55th minute marker to 3rd minute marker.
Lume SUCKS big time. It glows blue colour but ridiculously short lived. The daylight colour suggests that it is C3 colour and the orange dot on the bezel actually glows but last only a couple of minutes.
Despite its large size, I think this watch is comfortable to wear even on a small wrist. Thanks to the fine adjuster ala Rolex Deepsea.
Datefont is spot on.
Minute hand comes with slightly wrong orange tone. Nothing to complain here as they will never get it right (dates back to SMP and PO).
Save your money and get the Asian ETA version. The 21j will do just fine also until they release an "improved" version.
The non quick set hour doesn't bother me a bit.
Tips on cutting the rubber:
if you have a small 6.6" wrist like me,
cut the shorter portion (i.e.: the strap part underneath 6 o clock position) to number 2. This will leave number 1 intact.
DO NOT cut the longer portion of the strap too much. This is to allow you for diver's extension. Cut till number 5 leaving 1-4 intact.
This will result in loose fit for 6.6" wrist without having the watch too loose but you can always extend it to fit till 7.8" easily.
