What sub is this actually ? I dont think I have seen this before, not a noob for sure, not WM(, possibly MBW ?

You take that too literally. Its the same BS type sub with all the same visual flaws we've had for years. They know the issues and still wont address them.

Improvements aside, I would still be happier if the fixed the obvious and put an asian eta movement in them.

I couldn't agree more..
The flaws are just the same though this one seems to be improved...
After pt updates his photos we will have an easier look..
Two pictures cannot help...
With more pictures BK would solve all our problems!!!

The micro adjuster looks suspiciously like an ETA/clone.

But it appears to be the same size as gen. Note there is no spacer ring. Almost there! I hope they fix the location of the printing under the rotor and get the color right.


Are we looking at a modified Sea-gull ST-25 varient? This would explian the incorrect crown height.

I saw some pictures in another forum..It seemed nice crown height and case size compared side to side with the gen but really bad sell fit,the end links weren't inside enouph, bad rehaut but decent pearl and dial IMO..
The pictures weren't good enouph though...

Update via correctime:

When asked for further info the reply was:


What I only know is the movement is made the same size as the original so it will fit a gen dial and hands. Also the clone movement will fit a gen case.

I have compared the crown and crown tube and they are different. Bezel not sure as they rotate differently.

Please let me know, thanks

Cheers,
Angus

I dont want to see a 3135 clone at all. There will be a wave of people selling them to pawnshops and unsuspecting people as gen.

It has happened many times especially on the ebay...
Others sell gen ones with rep parts so they sell the gen parts and gain from there...

I ordered this watch from Puretime about a week ago. Hasn't arrived yet. Here are the QC pictures they sent me. Unfortunately none of them show the movement.

*Note*
For those of you wondering. I don't do green. I requested a black bezel. They assured me that this has the 3135 movement in it. Still waiting for it to arrive.

I've got that one and you won't get the new super asian 3135 clone 1:1, you will get the A2836 decorated as 3135 clone movement. i spoke with angus yesterday night and he told me that the movement was in pre-order last week and it only since monday that they have it in stock and only in the sub 16610 LV Best edition. I ordered one last night i ll share the QC pics and i also ask for pics of the lume. i know everyone is wonder how's the lume...

and also the submariner you order is the new model 116610 LN, they only sell it for now with the 16610LV http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/submariner-16610-lv-sa3135-best-edition/ when you receive the watch open it but i m sure of it.

Your quality control pictures are of the 116610 ceramic sub not the 16610 LV with a black insert.

WTH man, if you truly wanted the LV mentioned here with a black insert, that is not what you are getting.....the pics are of a ceramic sub that we all know all too well, and can be purcashed with an asian eta for $140 from timeshops......JEEZ

Like i said last time, i ordered this watch last monday from puretime, but Angus e-mailed me tuesday saying that the watch maker needs more time to finish the watch (3-5 days), to test the movement. I hope it won't take to long... Can't wait to see the real QC pics... I ll share as soon as i get them
