i said it before , as soon as i saw the pre order

i said :

1. pre-order with one picture?
2. stupid people actually paying for it? (pre- order)

don't blame puretime , blame the people that cant control themselves and pre- order shit they haven't seen , so the factory make their money and don't fix shit !

puretime does give refunds.

There is no doubt this will have to me moded! I was hopping that this would turn out better.
Before I save the funds and take the plunge. Its the only all black case watch I like. I will wait this one out. Untill I can get my hands on one. And have enough money to send to Wiz. I really was hoping it would be at least a little close.

PT promised refunds if you reject your QC pics. So you guys should be good. Hope the v2 is a bit better than this

Unsure if it will make it to a v2 to be honest.

The issue for me and i think most others (reasonable members) is not the small flaws like slightly to thin bezel numbers, no AR etc it's the casing.. it's nowhere near gen! If they got the casing right and it had a couple of flaws on the dial i would get one without any doubt.

If a v2 came out and it was all the flaws on the dial sorted i still wouldn't think about buying one unless the casing looked good, which i just don't see them being able to get right, we'll see.

I'm sure they will but they have only themselves to blame. You don't fork over cash, unless you are sure of what you're getting.

Absolutely correct, too often people fall for the marketing hype which ends up being a huge let down. Personally I would rather pay double the price but be sure that I'm getting a top quality product.

Thanks friend.

What kills it for me is the wood grain thing going down the sides of the case.
The rest of the watch looks pretty good for the most part.
This is one AP I would like to see in my box soon. I just wonder how long it would be before we would see a good mid case for this.
