  1. Outstanding! I have the same watch on order from PureTime. I think your watch could be worth some extra $ like a coin that has a extra letter from the mint. It somehow passed the US mint inspectors and is known to be rare. It really is a limited edition. I was just about to stop buying reps but the minute I saw pics of this Bell & Ross on the Replica Forums I dove in. This watch is so different from anything out there.

    Enjoy the watch,

    Steve

  2. I think Puretime and King are selling this watch with your choice of stap: Leather, rubber or nylon. I think Josh and Andrew only sell it in nylon. This is my first purchase from Puretime. I have good experiences with Josh and Andrew in the past but I wanted the Rubber Strap on the watch and he/she was $ 30 less expensive.

  3. I ordered one from Puretime two days ago . PVD, white hands and rubber strap. There is lume on the model with white hands but not on the model with orange hands etc . I am concerned with the movement as I have had bad luck with Asian movements in the past. I actually would have perfered a Quartz movement. I think the lug width is 24mm so you can change the strap (nylon, rubber, leather if you like to). I hope the rubber strap is long enough. I have a Nylon strap made by "MARATEC" that is made for all size lugs up to 24mm. It is awesome and costs $ 25 total. Do a search for "Maratec".

    It is the same nylon strap you often see on the Marathon GSAR or TSAR. My plan is if I don't like the Rubber strap I will put on my maratec 24mm from another watch. To be honest, this watch looks Awsome in the picks. I think the Bell & ross wil be the next RAGE on the Replica forums(it is so unique).

  4. Hopefuuly this rep will be well made and I won't have problems like I have had in the past with movements stopping for no reason and index #s or hands falling off. This watch is trully different and is very impressive. The moment I saw it I felt in love. I will post a review when I get the watch next week.

  5. Looks like you missed a near disaster. I always use locktite on all screws after I get a watch. Cheap insurance. I use the kind that is not permanent but still holds them tight.

    I used Red but I have the bracelet sized perfect and I can adjust the clasp to fine tune the watch if I get skinny or fatter.

    The Blue is the semi perminent. The links were kind of stiff but I used WD 40 to loosed them up and all is fine. I love this watch.

    I have my eye also on the new Coustou IWC that is comming out but I will not have any funds till the end of the year.

  6. I just got mine and all the reviews you read are deadly accurate. I will add a few things. This watch is easy to take links on and off. All you need is a screwdriver kit that you can get at Radio Shack for $ 5. You also have 4 additional settings on the clasp so you can FINE TUNE the watch band lenght. This is much easier than the Omega planet Ocean Pins !. The lume is very good for a Rep but not exceptional (Seiko Lume). THe Bezel is linned up perfect at 12 "clock. It has 120 clicks. The Crown screwed in nicely and it does take twice as many turns as most watches. I didn't feel that the threads would get stripped. maybe they lubed mine etc. The lume or the White dots that represent the hours are filled perfectly unlike the ones I saw on Trusty Guys site. I am impressed with this watch. Oh yes I got the Blue face with the steel band.

  7. Wondering if the lumpy lume was merely on early shipments, and/or if it was confined to one dial type (seemed like the blue was most effected)... curious if anyone's received a good blue one, or a bad black/white one... just trying to get a shot of where it might be most likely.

    I think the Easrly Blue Steel Fish was the worst. I think the worker who applies it either got better or was fired. You can see the poor lume job by go to Trusty site and looking at the Blue Steel fish on Metal Bracelet. The circles that represent each hour are not all filled in with white. I think the problem has been resolved...at least I hope so as I have a watch on the way. I will post in a few days when I get it. It is like everything..they get better and cheaper the more and longet they make them (ie Planet Ocean 5th edition).

  8. I also have the P.O 45.5 .Outstanding quality. I also have a ROlex Sub replica. You are a fool to sped $ on a gen. The only thing that is the water resistance. For swimming I have other watches. I wear the Reps just about for everything else. I was told you can get the water resistance to 5 ATM by adding silicon to the seals.

  9. I just purchased one also. There are several Dealers selling the same watches as there is only one Manufacturer. You know it is the same one as the serial # of all end on "649". Aspire has one for $ 199 but wants you to uses Weastern Union . I got one for $ 250 including EMS shipping. NICE watch. The watch runs a bit fast and I plan on waitin a few months and then may adjust it.
