Milgauss today

Not sure you heard that anywhere on here.. Sapphire is much more scratch resistant than mineral glass on the moh scale...(which is relative and not absolute). To give you an idea of the physical differences.. Sapphire is 4 times harder than mineral crystal.. (mineral crystal is made of silica (quartz) primarily)

Mineral crystal is easy to scratch and I've already gotten several small nicks in my crystal. it's quite annoying. Sapphire on the other hand is very difficult to scratch with normal wear. Some people will also tell you that sapphire looks a bit higher quality on a watch as well. Also.. with sapphire.. a nice bluish/purplish AR tint is achievable.. whereas with mineral... AR will turn a less-desireable yellowish.. Have you not seen the group buy thread for the sapphire crystal. It's a little project put together by myself and Offshore. We still are not set on prices.. but the thread has been created to guage interest in who is interested in purchasing a sapphire crystal for their 253/212

Happy B-day buddy!

awesome project. Not my cup-o-tea.. but awesome none the less!

Happy birthday!

report report report!

You'd be the first person with a sapphire crystal in their 253.....

You are correct. The dealers have not started using the words "V2, v3," etc. until recently. I think they took some kind of lead from my "comparison review" then completely messed up the names of the versions. I have NO idea why puretimes calls their latest version a "V3h" when it came out 2 months ago and comes from a completely different factory and uses different parts than the original V3 that came out 2 years ago. Josh and andrew call this watch the V2!!! It gets confusing, I didn't see any mistakes in the labeling of my photos. Just know that when I say "V4" .. it's because that's what it should be called. even though they refer to it as a "V3h" p.s. this is the pam 286. There was speculation 2 months ago that this watch was going to come out sometime in april/may.. but i haven't heard anything. In any case.. the rattrapante function is completely fantasy and the rattrapante start/stop button on the lower left hand side would be completely unfunctional if a rep of this were to come out.. just another place for water to enter!

Good to know thanks KB

So true! The forum hasn't been the same the last couple weeks......

disgusting... this is what mr. chow has to say to that watch: jerk jerk jerk... sprayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

what he said...

haha... always better to observe quietly than try to call someone out on a bad quality rep... you are afterall... also wearing a REP

anyone else gonna chime in??...... I'm pretty sure this is a replica.. and if it is indeed a replica he should be shut down!!!!!!!

I don't buy wrist grenades...... tick tick tick BOOOM! haha.. seriously though.. HOpefully someone else can chime in on this one with their Graham opinion.. i'm simply not a fan

Try the local watchsmith at the mall first.. if they don't do watch servicing, then maybe you should start looking into shipping your watch off to one of the modders here

Thanks for this input guys. Did I make a mistake..?? I sent an email to the admin using the "contact us" button on top...

This is true......

deleting original post... taking it to mods... thanks deniz, I hope so too!

deleted..

Thanks omgiv. If you're in the market for a DSSD.. the one in this pic will be available for sale in 5-10 days pm me if you're interested or would like more pics

The marine master is a bit chunkier.. but the DSSD is heavier and thicker... It doesn't wear SUPER large on the wrist and it seems really balanced despite it's heavy weight. Here's a wrist shot on my 6.25" wrist:

Depends on the person.. but I could see it making a difference in a photo like THIS ONE :

you have a spot open in the watch box??????
