There are well noted quality issues...but once you get a good one it’s a super rep.
How is the crown action on these? I've only bought 1 replica ever (LMPO v6) with an ETA2892 clone and the crown is quite wobbly on the stem. Everything functions but it doesn't inspire confidence when I'm setting the time/date.
Anyone who has one can you confirm the hour markers lume is more yellow than the white lume on the hands? Mine is this way so not sure if I got a bad one or its normal?
I've tried to take a picture but it doesn't show as bad as it looks.

Hey guys,
I ordered two AT8900 with Puretime and received QC pics yesterday. What do you think of the logo?
I think they look crooked on both of them.
Any help is appreciated!

I have two of these since some months ago and they practically have the same crooked logo. IRL almost indistinguishable in the wrist and was not a dealbreaker for me. Guess it is a problem of the whole batch or even of the original design.

I have this one. The rep rubber for the white dial looks nothing like gen in the flesh (gen is actually grey with thicker stitching). I'd go for bracelet.

I didn't see what was wrong untli the chrome logo on the blue face. The left side of the logo is aligned and level with the lines in the dial. The right foot of the Omega seems to be machined incorrectly, so as to make it impossible to align both feet on the same level plane. Or am I seeing things?
You are right. The logo on the blue face is machined incorrectly while the logo on the white face is "just" slightly crooked. This might be corrected by peeling it off and reglue it. Also take a look at the spoiled "E" of the OMEGA wording on the blue face.
I don't know if it's noticable in real life tbh..

Just received my VSF aqua terra and the crown doesn't move at all? Am I doing something wrong? First mechanical watch.

Did you unscrew the crown?
Had to get a cloth to get enough grip to unscrew it in the end. Everything’s good!

Has anyone had any issues with orange paint fading on their Aqua Terras? Several people in the 43.5mm Planet Ocean thread have reported fading text.

Do the blue dials still have the purple hue problem? I really love those, but from previous posts I can see it's noticeable

Well I didn't know if they updated it or not, no need to be a condescending jerk.
