Don't want to correct you but Josh stated: 'The Speedmasters are next in line'. That doesn't mean they will rep the moonwatch. There are a lot more models of the Speedmaster. IMO they probably won't rep the Moonwatch as the correct sub dial spacing is achieved by an A7750 and because the Moonwatch is a hand wind.... you get the picture. Maybe they will rep it with a solid case back but than again you will have an automatic movement instead of a handwind.
I do think this model is new! I don't see the serial# MOP mentioned. Maybe he has a different model/ picture in thought? This new version of the QoS carries the number 0365/ 5007
The QoS etching does look a little bit funny. At some angles it shouldn't be visible. In Josh's pics you can see the logo from all angles which makes me to believe it isn't etched but rather painted with some sort of gray paint? On second thought that propably isn't the case as that would be absolutely retarted .... probably due to the poor lighting.
Overal the rep looks pretty damn good IMO!
Genuine for reference:
Well the pearl is made up from two parts. Usually metal which is formed like a small cup and lume (applied in the cup). Sometimes they use copper (chrome plated) instead of metal because it's cheaper. When using abressives or other chemicals one can accidently remove the chrome palting and thus exposing the ugly copper....
I understand T's point but I think we got 'lost in translation' here. If Joint indeed was selling reps out the back door he would never have posted this thread imo.
I know what is going on. Joint had his own website in selling reps. Now his website is taken offline and he received an email of unitedwatchgroup. He is worried he will be fined or even worse go to jail.
Don't worry Joint. Unitedwatchgroup is probably someone who is trying to scare you. Serious businesses don't have an @gmail account. Trust me.
The bubbles from the case back could also be caused by the air trapped between the SS and Titanium part. This consruction leaves space for air which will escape when the air equalizes. I'm 99% sure this is where the bubbles came from and you watch is perfectly WP
PS: Are you missing some movement holder scews?
Looks okay to me! Because the chrono second hand is longer than the second hand the 'jerkyness' motion is enhanced. It should show 8 fast tick per second. It could also very well be that there is some durt and dibree between the gears. You could have it serviced or let it run for some days to let it settle in (if the watch is new) .....
Remember, even gens sometimes have jerky second hands. Like the Chopard GTXL, Oh man.....
One swipe with a Cape Cod cloth and the plating is gone and you want to grind the bracelet?
Exactwatches sucks ass and you smell fishy! There I said it...
