gordotre Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 OK, So I now have my QC Photos and wanted to share amd obtain some feedback. I have outlined what I believe are some isseus but need some additional eyes to see if I should reject this watch. Issues IMO: Internal Bezel Ring: 12 Oclock marker sloppy. 50 marker both the 0 and the 5 are questionable. the 11 marker also has sloppy lume. the 2 oclock marker has sloppy lume. the 3 on the 30 is sloppy the dial and hands look good. Bezel itself: A couple scratches and marks in the area of 7 oclock Pleas advise if this is being over critical. Based on other photos I think this is a reject.

geestyleed Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I would say that this is one of the better one. But I am no expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordotre Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I would say that this is one of the better one. But I am no expert Based on what other have told me that seems to be the case. The only area I am asking about the bezel scratches @ 7 o'clock mark. If they can replace the bezel or show they are not scratches I will accept. Thanks for the feedback!

kingblu3 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I would say that this is one of the better one. But I am no expert yeah man.. i'm starting to regret that i accepted mine too early. but was going send the watch for a re-lume anyway.. so I'm hoping that a good lume job will get it up to par with all the hype with a diver v3. will post pics shortly when my watch arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gregc1992 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 A little disappointed by my V3 as well...there is a noticeable nick next to the crown. Lume is not TOO bad and it looks like the cyclops doesn't have the dreaded blue tint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jot9011 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 IMO it's better to get an older V3 ...not a V3.5 and upgrade to the colorless cyclops yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingblu3 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Ok guys.. My watch came with non working date and spoilt bracelet. I written to puretime to ask for a return address. And it's been 20 odd days and still no reply . Seriously ?! Anybody got a shipping address for puretime ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansmeier Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Try PM Angus directly, or email Francis (personal assistant to Angus). I'm confident that they can help you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Godfather Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Ordered the V3.5 myself couple of days ago. Anybody happen to have more info regarding it's availability? Didn't say sold out on PT so figured there's stock. No QC pics yet but I was kind of counting on the relume anyway already. Who do you guys advise for this and what's his rate? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The website would not say OUT OF STOCK, unless its permanently out of stock, you gotta ask the TD's. But anyhow, they were in stock the last time I asked. Just wait or PM Agnus, he'd be happy to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
