I have purchased and received today from Puretime a replica 116610 ARF with the newer movement SH3135V2. I made the decision after reading this forum extensively, and reading all pros and cons.
The watch is very well built, and it arrived safely packaged, but the seconds hand is very erratic: it sweeps very fast, and skips 2 seconds every 5, then it stops suddenly, only to start again if I shake my wrist. The watch is also poorly calibrated, and it easily goes 2x the regular speed, until it stops again, of course.
Obviously, this is very disappointing.
I have owned a high quality replica 16610 for about 17 years, and properly serviced, it always worked great. I am really surprised Puretime would ship such a very expensive replica without proper QC.
Has anyone received such a defective product from Puretime? And how has Puretime responded? I have sent an email to QC, but I am yet to hear back from them. Given the fact they are located in China, I am a bit worried about my investment.
