  1. Well the 399USD H Factory CF Diver is well known to have this wrong color lume on the bezel but this one is pretty bad.

     

    Review:

    "One thing that bothers me a bit is the colour of the lume. It’s a bit different from my dial markers. It would have been nice if it would have been pure white"

     

     

     

    The J12 V3 FC diver is way better and also has a more reliable movement: Yes its 130usd more but its finish and reliability is way better

    Also a V4 is coming out soon but in fact its a v1 from Noob:

    In any case I myself do not understand why someone would order a H-factory after the V3 came out and now the V4 (or v1)

  2. about time you got one!...pun intended...

    gorgeous watch there mate may have to add that to me wants list. :)

     

    Good luck and thanks!

  3. Well. I finally got the watch back from service. It cost some $900 including this damaged one to get it serviced on my arm. Not worth it when looking back but wtf, now its done and i know the procedure.

    I also know that second hands that move erratic might still do so after service and need other more expensive attention than the "standard" service. So if you need issues like that corrected, remember to notify your Watchmaker about it.

    You payed 900usd for a service of a 268 usd watch????????

     

    Why not get another watch then, or 3 for parts...

  4. Thought I'd share some pics.
    I know I know it's quartz but it really well made!

    Only thing it needed was an AR-ed crystal and I had one from another Big bang laying around and it fit perfectly:

    Here is the end result:
