kingblu3 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hey guys.. A couple of members have been asking me if the latest batch of v3 is up to par .. So here's a couple of qc pics sent to me by puretime few days back. Enjoy and feel free to comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Looks great. Is the AR on the cyclops clear without the blue tint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mch2112 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Over on RG some of the pictures show a crooked hour marker at six. I'd ask them to remove that red A sticker to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteshields1830 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 lume is terrible at '5' where the 50 is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig88 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Reject! This is one of the worst I have seen. "50" is disgusting and the marker at 40 is a mess too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingblu3 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Not Sure if they replaced it after i asked them for a clearer photo, But here's a shot of it without the A sticker and a lume shot. Do you guys still think its still screwed up ? Now that i looked at it, i noticed that the lume on the triangle marker is badly applied. I'm gonna ask them nicely to replace one for me.

cougar1 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 They should take the big A off the front of them and start putting on A- That looks a little better sts, but lume still a little shoddy in places, any closer pics of the dial? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panermaniac Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 All the ones I've seen from the new batch look like they were lumed by drunk chimpanzees 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folex Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Guess they were being rushed to fill the demand. But, any member that have been here long enough or even some new members would probably reject them. Dealers probably gonna have to eat up the cost.

wimpie007 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thats the only thing stopping me from getting one, sloppy lume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpaul Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Was really looking forward to getting one but seeing all this I'm now having second thoughts :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingblu3 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hang on.. Don't lose hope yet. Puretime might still pull through with a great replacement. Keeping my fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpaul Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Pure time and Toro both get from the same supplier right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingblu3 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) New qc watch pics from puretime, the Lume is still not the greatest, but waaaaay better than the first. What do you guys think? Edited November 28, 2012 by kingblu3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmatt2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Flaws on 40 and 50 still noticeable...Toro and Puretime have same supplier on these watches--Noob factory I believe. Toro took photos of his batch-go to his site, he has a bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike@tommys Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) That six does look crooked to me Edited November 28, 2012 by Mike@tommys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criost87 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 That six does look crooked to me Yeah it does... Looking at all the QC threads in the different forums I think I wont be getting one after all, not for the money they go for I expect better. all the same I will just go back to waiting for the Tudor black bay to come out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inertiadrifter Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Wow, this latest batch is horrible!! I got the very first batch, pre order march, got it at June (I think). It's great OTB Super Rep. Now what happen!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonboy Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 It does to me too. The dealers won't have much cost to eat as they'll just send all these out to people that buy online and are not members of the rep forums. I won't be rushing to pick one up personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gregc1992 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Nooo! I just put in an order to Puretime for the V3. Hopefully the lume and 6 Marker are not as bad as the ones shown here! BTW, how long did it take for them to send you QC pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalengkong Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Lume on 40 and 50 are really bothers me I also almost pull a trigger to order 1, but after I seen all of these- better not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
