I have one on the way too, if the quality is up to scratch I'll get the white dial 44mm version when SBF release it, for now the 44mm Carbotech is a miss, as discussed in the other thread.

I suspect the 1229 will be a daily beater going forward into 2023!

What about the movement ? Is it as noisy as the PAM1616 was ? Because that was really pretty noisy!

strap change..
Rotor, yes it’s noisy but you have to give it a good shake to hear it, on the wrist with normal use I can’t hear it.. Bezel on this isn’t has tight as some others but we all know a fix for that and to be honest once set at 12 I never change it. It’s got a clone movement in it, quick set hour function is available.. on the wrist it’s great, may not be a thin as Gen but I find it easy to wear.. mind is made up, once they release the white dial 1226 I’ll be ordering that too

Hey !

Thanks for your review! The watch looks awesome !!
I absolutly want to buy it, but as there seem now to be 2 versions with a price difference of 100€ i wanted to know which you have ?

And maybe what would be the best to take ?

Jtime at 488 (VSF) at 17mm thickness
Or Puretime at 388 (SBF) 15.5mm ?

JTime can’t be VSF because VSF was reborn SBF, the one they claim is VSF is likely to be TTF and I’d stay clear of that and get the cheaper and better SBF version

Is that the old floss trick with the bezel?
