I ordered a Rolex VRF Max hill from puretime about 3 weeks ago because it had good reviews. It was taking a while so I asked and they told me the factory was raised and they will be a few days before they start producing again. I waited and when I got my QC pics I noticed the f in ft was not the same as on the website. The left side of it is missing so I sent the first one back. I got the second one today and it's the same except now the repair looks worse too. Is this acceptable? Is it possible they aren't making as good reps now that they have restarted production? I am thinking of changing my order to the Noob V8 hulk instead.. advice? This is watch #2
There is nothing wrong with the script on your dial depending on which date period the dial on the rep is trying to represent. Earlier Hulk dials come with small ft = 300m, later gen dials come with the long ft alternate = and 300 m . The second is the dial you have on the watch in the QC . I purchased a VRF MAX when they first came out, the way to distinguish the new max version from the 1st VRF issue was ... The dial you have , the bezel , and the watch has OUS instead of ST9 as a clasp code .
To me the bezel , hands , rehaut look VRF MAX !! I would garner LUXRACER' S opinion on that I know he is a fan of the watch as well . The dial has the correct font script for the MAX , but does look a bit flat in your QC pics ( the gen does change colour in different lights ) as per original BP dial on the VRF version 1 which has the earlier script . HOWEVER i think the the dial on the MAX version really pops and the sunburst effect is gen like on the MAX version compared to the 1st issue . If you look at LUXRACERS pictures you can see the difference between the two dials .
I would ask for pictures of the dial in a different light , and a picture of the inside of the clasp to check for OUS .
I' m sure the look of the dial ( colour , sunburnt ) is a light box issue , but IMO the font is CORRECT for a VRF MAX . So that is my 10 penneth.
