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.
There's been a quiet update to the Tudor Fifty-Eight. Lume and tube height look to be improved.
Here are 2 QC shots from Puretime. Purchased by 2 different members within a few days of each other over on RWI:

Ruby is a pleasure to deal with compared to MQ. Cheaper too. She’s currently listing the following 1665 dials: http://rubyswatch.com/Products/parts/sub-1665
The crystal is distorting the Rehaut. It would be worth changing it. I used a GS PA 462-66 from Ofrei. If you go to post #24 in this thread, there’s a link to a side-by-side comparison of a Clark & CWP T19 crystal too. You’ll see what a difference the crystal can make to the look of the Rehaut.
You’ll find MQ here. Located in Vietnam: http://vintagewatchesmq.com/minhquy/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=911&category_id=146&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1 He can be tricky to deal with. I wasn’t happy with his service or quality of the case I bought from him last time. I wouldn’t buy from him again.
