Adding that I'm not sure if there's a version with fauxtina and applied numerals, but wouldn't be shocked if there was, I just haven't seen it.
I posted my QC earlier in this thread.
I agree. Swiss movement was the selling point for me that made me get this. Chinese movements and water resistance are the only two reasons I don’t buy many reps. I don’t care about perfect NWBIG micro details just reliability quality and function. I’d happily pay higher prices for Swiss movements and 200m pressure tested. Cheap $50-$60 Seiko mod cases are good for 200m some for 300m. That’s why I have about a dozen Seiko mods but only a couple of reps.I also got mine. The bracelet is super awesome, quick adjustment works great, shorten it is very easy and works as described by me. To use a Swiss movement is the right way! So you can also use the clock to measure time. Would be even better if there would be an upgrade option to Top Grade....
Any recommendations for removing this? It's stuck in the grooves of the sandblasted portion.
without pics of the removed movement/dial assembly!!!I have already removed the movement 2x today
First I have removed a small flaw on the hour marker, which was already visible on the QS pictures. And then out again, to de-dust the dial properly.
I've got two gen watches for sale right now, and the moment either of them sells, I'm all over this.I got the green model in. Fantastic watch - the fade to black at the edges is just *chef's kiss*.
All of the various finishes and beveling make this feel like the 'must have' watch if you love your submariner and want something else so you don't only wear Rolex all the time. A more luxurious feel on the wrist, I would say the only downside is the rather large crown that sticks out.
It appears they also fixed the clasp finishing as well.

Edit: To those wondering how to fix the clasp, it's not easy, but straightforward enough. Rotate both screws on a section to be perpendicular to the edge of the bracelet and that will release the pins. Mirror for the other side.
I had mine pressure tested today and it passed 10 barI'm going to get it pressure tested and if it passes 10 bar I'll use it as a beater for a while.
