Stunning indeed. It's not a decorated 6497 movement either. ALE has confirmed this over on Repgeek. Let's hope someone does a proper review on function and quality once it's released. Exciting times ahead!

Yea, I've received the Royal Mail one a couple of times in past two weeks.

Yup, it's on the Puretime homepage. Movement not decorated as much as BP but bezel appears to have shiny coating compared to BP (correct) matte and textured surface, which suffers from fading issue.

Looks good!

Noob fac.

The Tudor BB is being developed by another fac. Not noob.

I've seen a gen with a pearl that wasn't centred perfectly. That's more than acceptable in my opinion for a rep

One of the best value reps out there - just make sure the crown doesn't strip as they're known to be made from very cheap metal

Yes, it looks bent.

Also, the 3 6 and 9 numerals aren't painted on top.

That looks like the 39mm Explorer.

Bezel suggests it isn't the 36mm model. Bracelet, clasp, SEL fitment points towards 39mm.

Check with the dealer if it's the model you've actually ordered.

I'd just say I sold the Rolex movement, got decent money for it and popped in a reliable Swiss movement.

Is the 21j movement hi beat or low beat? Can't find any info on the TD sites

Completely normal now. It was illegal before for Parcelforce to claim 'handling fees' when all they've done is pay the custom fees themselves then recover it from the customer. Legislation was brought into effect to allow such charges to be claimed. They're well within their rights to demand the £13 fee to release your package from hostage. Pay up and enjoy your watch is all I can say.

I beg to differ. Look at the O P and 6 engravings on the caseback. I'd reject. That would put me off but don't know about you.

Puretime!

Yup. Definitely the same watch. Tell the TD you're not stoopid.
