Fracture

I'd suggest investing in a decent set of precision screwdrivers then. It's all you need for this. Even if you have a basic interest in watches it's something you will want or need, now or in the future. A watchmaker can't do much more about this than you can.

I'm sorry, but I wasn't kidding when I said it was very simple. And I mean simple as in a five year old could do it. If you need to visit a watchmaker to adjust a (and specifically this) bracelet then... wow.

I don't see how Noob's would be harder, they're essentially the same. Unscrew tiny screw left or right, pin should fall out. If not, unscrew left and right and push it through. Very simple, much more practical than the old bracelets.

I've had the BP and currently have 3 Noob's. The Noob's can have some issues (markers, pearl glass not always applied well) but if you get a good one then it beats the BP hands down in my opinion.

When your CC payment fails, you simply call your bank and tell them to allow it. Simple.

And why do you assume the error lies with me? My bank doesn't stop payments, the error lies with the payment processor. I've used this same card to purchase with Puretime and other TD's. Or is it news to you that PT has problems with processing payments since the domain change?

I'm not a native english speaker but I think it's fairly clear what my point is. Maybe you should reread everything. If their payment service is not working properly for the moment and refuse paypal from an obviously thrustworthy custumer because of their strict rules then I can't make a purchase. My point is that PT is currently difficult to deal with if you're not a "loyal" customer.

Paypal is an option that can be given upon request... But you need to be vetted (not quite the term but closest I can think of)

 

 I understand, but Puretime is much stricter than any other TD's. Toro for example allowed me to use paypal after 1 order. Puretime needs 3 orders. I only have one so far with PT. Even when I received another customers watch and forwarded it to the right person, I'm apparently still not trusted enough to be allowed to use paypal.

Also his current site is having some issues with payments... As in they ain't going through straight away so don't panic

 

My credit card payment failed as well. It would be thoughtful of them to allow paypal for the time being.

I'm having nightmares with these folks. Ordered a PAM before Xmas. Nothing happened so I recontacted them in Jan to be told item was out of stock. I reordered something they said was in stock and still got nothing. In february I asked for refund which they said they do but still nothing. I'm down 180 bucks. They arent to be trusted these days I would suggest?

Hilarious. 5 years here and this is your first post? Puretime is not perfect, especially when it comes to watches being in stock but saying they are not to be trusted is a bridge too far. They are TD's on various boards, I would assume it's not without reason.

Imo if the dealer makes a mistake he should be responsible for the costs of shipping it back. There are a lot of things the dealers are getting away with because of the illegitimate nature of the hobby, but it shouldn't be this way.

Love this site. If you're flashing reps as real ESPECIALLY on places like instagram you deserve to be called out on it.

I agree. But you can do it with a bit of class or like an asshat. Fakewatchbusta falls into category 2 I'm afraid. Or at least his followers make him look like one with their asinine comments.

Can I send it back?

Probably not, and you shouldn't. I think most members will agree you should only send a watch back if it's DOA or has other severe mechanical issues.

QC clasp issues have kept me from pulling the trigger on one of these PO bad boys for the past few years.

 

Maybe the only solution is just bite the bullet and pick up a gen clasp.  That is if you can get it to fit the bracelet.

Are you sure you want a rep then? Imo the Noob PO bracelet is one of the finest around. I'm confident in mine and haven't seen anyone's clasp break yet.

The first one seemed quite good mechanically. +002 s/d is a great number. I think all Noobs have some small issues with the bezel paint. I currently have 3 Noob PO's and there's only one of which I find the bezel of acceptable quality.

The things you read on that guys page...

 

@fakewatchbusta I still can't get over the fake watch aficionados. It's like trying to argue in favor of rape or something!

Apparently we're now equal to rapists for owning damn reps. I bet these saints have never downloaded a movie or an mp3. Such wonderful people.

I agree with what minuteman is doing. His knowledge on the ''faults'' IMO suggests he is a big fan of, or has/used to have fakes himself. These [censored] on instagram etc, why would you flaunt your fake? They're asking for trouble, and deserve the unwanted attention they receive for their stupidity.

Yeah? Why do I deserve to be on this idiotic instagram thing? Nobody has ever asked me about any of my watches, and I have never claimed my reps were real. I have never taken pictures of me and my reps, the only pictures I take of my reps are posted on the replica boards.Yet my nickname is smeared by screencapping my replies in this thread on this social network for the mentally retared.

Do you use the divers extension?

You kind of have to. It's the only thing keeping the bracelet together, even when folded in.

You're an ignorant stuck up child.

I have gens and am on some gen boards. The people here are equally if not more dedicated to and knowledgeable about watches.

Puretime is a pain in the ass for replacement parts. I inquired about a replacement bezel for my PO and so far no answer. My 42mm has the same deep cut on the diver extension but I'm not sure it's an issue. It seems strong enough and although it appeared it had a mark on it as well, it wiped right off.

Thanks for the link, it's indeed an easy fix in case it does get magnetised. The swiss model is only 10$ more. Think I'll get one of those, don't want my watches to catch fire

I sent a PayPal gift payment yesterday, no problem. I have noticed that PayPal has gotten smarter on the gift payments, they are charging a fee if the payment isn't from your PayPal account, or a bank account. 

Have you seen where Carl Icahn is trying to split up the Ebay/PayPal conglomerate in to two separate companies. Don't really know what if any impact it would have on PayPal at all.

That's the first smart thing I've seen Icahn do. Imo if you provide the services of a bank you should be regulated like one.
