From looking at the crown jewel, it's not the ultimate. It's not the one with ss bracelet neither. That's all I can say.
Is the dial curved? What is the measurement of the bezel?

Can I fit a gen crown? The crown measures 7.5mm. Does anyone know where I can get a gen crown from?
I would suggest you not get a gen crown on this as that is the least of your problems. The dial is way way way off. I'd save the money and get an ultimate 100. That doesn't need any modding at all.
i was suppose to get an ultimate but was sent this instead, since I wore it I cant send it back.
actually the dial is great IMO just that the 11 and 12 feet dont touch but that doesnt really matter to me really. No one but people on this board would spot that.
How so, not everyone knows the number spacing flaw, but anyone can tell the difference between plastic and sapphire or whatever stone it should be.

In that case contact Angus, he owes you some cash back.
If he doesn't want to come to an arrangement, contact me instead.

Let me give you guys the full story behind this watch. What happened was I ordered the ultimate and paid full price, and Angus sent this one. I sent the watch to Florida because customs and the post office in my country is slow and I was going to visit my uncle there for Thanksgiving, so I send it to his address. My uncle received the watch before I got there and asked me if he could wear it, so I said ok. He wore it a few times before I got there to find it was the wrong watch. I have contacted Angus and he said that because the Ultimate was not in stock, he sent the next best one for the same price on his site. which is this:

however the puretime site did not say it was out of stock when I ordered, and Angus did not inform me that he was sending a substitution. If he had I would definitely refused, because I wanted, and had paid for the ultimate. I have a suspicion that he was trying to clear out old stock that wasn't selling. However that can not be proved so I have no choice but to accept his excuse.
I fully understand that can't send the watch back as it has been worn and removed the plastic protection and removed the strap, also causing some slight scratches. So, Angus has given me a deal on a metal strap that I wanted in order to come to an agreement, however I will still have to spend more money to buy another ultimate and have this one in the back of my desk.
