On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 11:35 AM, I contacted PureTime with the following message inquiring about the Submariner 16613 SS/YG with proper gold on end links:
"I am interested in this watch and was hoping to see a few close up pictures, especially of the end links and the sides of the end links. Thank you for your time!"
I have purchased several two tone submariners over the years from several different vendors with promises of proper end links, etc and before I made the plunge, I really wanted to see some high detail pictures of the watch, above and beyond the unique pictures I saw on the website.
On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 10:53 PM I was contacted by PureTime with the response as follows:
"Dear Sir,
I am afraid we only send QC images after an order is placed. "I have seen on the forums that PureTime is a respected vendor, but with a response like the one I received, it raises some concerns with me. Has anybody had this kind of issue with PureTime before, or does anyone have pictures of their ss/yg blue submariner with proper gold on end links from PureTime?
Thanks to everyone for any feedback in advance, and I look forward to reading your input!

Need Repair/Upgrade in CONUS - Planet Ocean Eta 2824-2
in Watch Repair & Upgrade
Posted · Edited by wager1886
I am in serious need of repair to my "Planet Ocean 45mm Orange Swiss Eta 2824-2" I purchased from Andrew earlier this year. I have sent the watch back once already because the stem fell out within the first month. Now, 6 months later, the hands just recently started freely spinning with the slightest bump to the case. This helps make the ~2 min/day gain go unnoticed.
I really don't want to pay another $50 in shipping back to Andrew from CONUS for the essential repairs. If the option is out there, I would like to have the necessities repaired on the watch along with any additional mods/upgrades that would make this watch "better" in a sense, such as upgraded AR crystal, new hands, shower proof, etc. Any information or advice to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
