Decided to tweak the build for an MN look.

Vietnamese dial off eBay. WSO handset. Yuki insert and Adrian pearl.

That is it for me  and I would not ask for any better!  Enjoy to good health!!  BTW can you build me one? (Yeah in my dreams!  Ha!)

Thanks buddy! It took around 3 years to get there. Tempus Fugit.

... a few more shots.

 

If money was no object, then no, I wouldn’t buy one. I would be tempted to build a pretty good rep though. Until then this will have to do.

... a few shots in natural light.

The watch arrived today. I’m impressed! For the price the build quality is excellent.

Here are a few quick shots, the lume looks too white in these though. I’ll post some in daylight over the weekend.

Look forward to seeing it. I'm pleasantly surprised they fixed the issues with this model. How bad were the rejected QCs?

Here are a couple shots of the pearl from the first two watches offered. That was the main issue for me. Together with misaligned markers. The bracelet clasp looked misaligned too on one of the watches. On the other, there appeared to be a small hole in the lume application on the hour hand. 

 

Pearl, rough edged on one watch:

 

Pearl, misaligned on the other:

 

Marker alignment is still an issue. On the third watch offered, that I approved, they aren’t perfect. In general, markers at 12, 3 and 6 are the ones to watch out for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Absolutely gorgeous, have to get my hands on one of these.

Hopefully mine will arrive next week. I’ll post some shots then.

After two rounds of rejecting QC shots from Puretime. Primarily due to misaligned markers, pearl and poor pearl quality. Approved the third one. It’s winging its way to me now via the UK. I‘ll post some shots on arrival.
