Despite thickness is not the only feature to be considered in a rep. We should doubt about those measurements

Fore example why is not completely screwed the caseback of the KW ??

You can see perfectly the gap in below enlarged pic (non existent gap in ZFac measurement).

So my seagull driven 569 just died on me

Second hands won't move unless i shake the watch hard, and will only tick for a few seconds. I can hear the balance wheel ticking inside the case. The watch is fully wound

Any help guys?

Just an update

I sent it back to PT as a part of the "timegrapher-gate" fiasco (i never received timegrapher pics)
They fixed it for free-hopefully it stays that way
All in all took 1.5 months including shipping so extremely efficient

Very happy with Puretime's service and Angus' response to the whole situation

Oh I love this thread also got one from m2m!! Great deal on the watch and it looks fantastic, lume needs some time to charge unless you have a UV light. One thing does bother me, don't know if I am mental or what but the bezel is not aligned and I don't know how to fix it... It does bother me a bit when I look at the watch lol. Does anybody have an idea on how to fix it? Anyway great watch, it catches a lot of looks. Oh one last thing it is my first titanium watch and man does it scratch. I mean I am carful with my watches but this thing just attracts scratches like a magnet, but I still love the watch :D!

You can pop the bezel off and realign it by pushing it down manually. put tape on the corner of the case and pry up each corner little at a time. You will need something thin and strong enough to wedge it. it will eventually pop off. i suggest taping the bezel so you don't accidentally scratch it. once you get it off you will have no problem lining it up.

I would but my Bezel is aligned perfect. If you have a KW they snap right back on. But if you are afraid to do it then i guess thats the end of this topic. LOL. Good luck man. Remember they are Reps not Gens so don't treat them like one. I have faith you can do it. Once you get it off its like "that was it".

ALE I think this is due to the Caseback not properly tightened correctly at factory/assembly. I can't see all of these having that issue.

Now that I remember it is not a KW but a V6F model....

So managed to pop the bezel and to put some dents in the case never thought that titanium was that fragile masked up the case and all but we'll have to live with it... But bezel is aligned lol

Nice job, looks good, you're very brave :)
Unfortunately it takes little to mark up a Ti case, but hey its a dive watch, it's meant to be roughed up a bit.

Anyone know if one of the factories is working on a good rep of the 025? Now that there's a good quality 569, it should be easy!
