Hi mates!

Today I received the QC pics of the new King Power all black Ceramic V2 from Puretime. From those pics I'm a little confused between the versions, and I will try to show here the similarities and differences that I think exists between these versions.
As I already own the PVD case with ceramic bezel version, I put some pics and made a comparison between 3 versions (I believe QC pics and my KP are the same):

1 - Puretime QC pics named all ceramic
2 - My KP all black PVD case with ceramic bezel
3 - KP all black ceramic V2 from Puretime's website

Here we go:

THE CASE

Here we have my version (number 2), witch has the piece below the bezel that is a little curved and show the crown that is longer than ceramic version




Puretime QC pics (number 1) show the same piece with this little curve. The red circle on the right show the crown that is large just like the version I already own. The cut on the case is sharp.


All Ceramic that is on Puretime's site (number 3) has a short crown, smooth cut on te edges (almost beveled) and straight (not curved) piece that goes under the bezel. The material of this piece also seems like it has a different texture)



THE MOVEMENT/BACK CASE


My version (number 2) has the movement regulator, long crown and silver screws


Puretime QC pic (number 1) has the same regulator, long crown as my version and blue screws


All Ceramic on Puretime's site (number 3) has NO regulator like the others, shorter crown and black screws.



THE BUCKLE

All Ceramic on Puretime's site (number 3) has this hole in the buckle that attach to the other part of it and close the strap


This version also has a diagonal cut in the end of it



My version (number 2) hasn't the hole as the big red circle shows, the buckle attach to the other part with that little part that the smaller red circle shows.


This picture show that this buckle (version number 2) has a paralel cut in the end of it.


In Puretime site images, the watch has lume (poor), and my owned version does not. The ones I received as QC doesn't show it.

Well, I showed all of these pics for you because I want to be sure that I'll receive the ALL CERAMIC version.... Maybe my eyes are playing with me, but I think that all ceramic version is really different from the other 2 versions (witch I believe are just the same).

I already sent an e-mail to Puretime asking those questions and now it's just wait for some answers...
I'm sure this is not a problem of being soooooo anal about it, it's a matter of receiving the right version of it...

Some opinions and help from you would be interesting...


Thank you all for viewing this!!!

Cheers!

its a mish-mash new version or something...like a parts bin version, take all the spares and make one "new" version

That is the answer I was hoping to get!!! I know very well my KP to know that it look just like the one in QC pics and BOTH are completely different of the one advertised on Puretime site pics....

I already own the PVD case version, don't want another one!
I want the all ceramic just like site pics and then my PVD will go for sale...

Thank you!!!

You are right!!
It is not an analytic problem, because you have already the PVD/cer version and you want assure the new all ceramic
Your observations are Ok the pics is other model than all ceramic of Puretime catalogue (this is objetive)

Having a KP already I think you must to refuse it

Any dealer have this ceramic model, it is very suspicious

having read the whole lay being band thing and the issue of anal QC photos being raised i must say this is thread is exactly what QC pics are for.

im glad you have posted this as i have been waiting for a ceramic all black for close to a year and was ready to pull the trigger on this so have read and checked the pics with some trepidation. i feel that it is the same as what you have and would reject it.

I would be intrested what angus has to say about it. keep us posted please as i for one am very interested in the outcome of this

Thank you Ale, even if I didn't already had the KP I would reject it because it's not what is advertised...
Now lets wait to see if this is really it or if it was just a mistake...

Hi Sccottt, I never was very anal regarding my reps, I just want what I bought.
When I saw the new all ceramic red (or black, can't remember) magic on puretime, I emailed Angus asking about the All Black All Ceramic and he told me to wait one or two days... In the next day I went on his site and there it was! I ordered in the same time and just asked if he could change the rotor for the black one from the cheaper version. Today I received these QC pics and got totally bored...
I'm sure Angus will solve this as he is a very honest and nice guy.
I will post here as soon as I receive any news about it...
Stay tuned! LOL!!!
Cheers!

Hi replikmaster
It seems you have already the solution! Congrats!
Concerning Angus reply, it is OK for you at this moment. But if you were not a KP expert , at this moment you would have a KP non ceramic and you would have paid for a KP ceramic!!
And Puretime is one of the serious and professional dealers !!
