It can be dust, ask them to remove/clean the 45 index.

I got my QC, and just have a little concern and any help would be appreciated.

There seems to a lot of ink bleed on the text. Is that how it normally is or am I being too picky. I know AP's in and out but PAM no experience what so ever.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you zoom into the guard it looks like it’s not finished well

Very nice. I have never rally been into coated steel. PVD or carbon fiber style finishes but this looks very sharp.

Got mine today, I can confirm the lime is a very light grey but not as dark as the gen, the gen is quite a few shades darker and very stealthy. shame on this small detail, still a nice looking watch, roll on v2

How is rubber strap ?
It's so bad like Pam 616 strap or it's good with double rubber injection like Pam 243 strap.

Guys, I ordered mine from TD Puretime and the watch has some serious issues in QC, I mentioned to them they basically said take or leave it.

Then what is the point of them being a TD.

I was told the same thing from Puretime yesterday that my watch was the last one and there is a 1-2 month wait. I accepted since it was minor flaws. we shall see.

Ive heard that the 961 is going to be released very soon........ As with the 979 I hope they sort the lume colour and font thickness with the next batch, if they can get those two parts correct it will be perfect.

this watch screams for V2 since it is incorrect in these aspects:
- indexes, hands and date wheel should be grey not white
- 15, 30 and 45 bezel markers' fill should be a kind of silver one - not white

despite above mentioned facts, I am going to get my copy by tomorrow :D
