This one arrived in the post yesterday. Well packed.
I kick started the watch and set the time. It ran for about 2 minutes and stopped
The caseback was not tightened and I could easily access the case by simply unscrewing it with my fingers - when I did that I found this little piece rattling inside the watch
Having decided that this wasn't of any importance to the movement I grease up the seals and tightened the caseback to the usual duct tape standard torque.
That issue being out of the way we can carry on with some pictures of the beauty:
(Pics done with mobile phone - please refer to Lani's brilliant review of the watch)
Certainly a leap forward with the new date window
The clasp - a masterpiece
Having resized the bracelet AND LOCTITED ALL SCREWS (remember this!!!)
Some say the bracelet should have been wider for this model - but that is exactly one of the details I find brilliant in the design. Makes the watch look nice and chunky
And the lume is very very good
All in all one of the best reps out there. Your choice to go with the clone 3135 like this one or save a few bucks and have an ETA. I don't suppose that anyone else will get a watch with loose parts inside so probably no worries there.
Andrews service and despatch was as always brilliant. Shipping to EU is no problem for Trusty - And noobs remember Andrew does NOT own the scam site www.trustytime.co.uk
Thanks
