outrnm Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 So i have been reading all the threads on last bad batch of V3.5 (was going to order from Puretime) and some people are saying go with old 3.0. Ready to order here and dont know if the current batches are of good quality? Would like to get the most accurate AP ROO rep first wanted the black themes but all the movement problems turned me way off, why would anyone pay $600 for a rep thats bound to break within a few years? The Diver seems like the best choice right now, i hope i am understanding this correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Go with the 3.5. For a while there around xmas last it was pot luck with the 3.5 Qc, so much so that the 3.0 became almost more sought after. I think things have moved on and the lume has improved and is 'back to normal' for the most part. Most QC I've come across in the last month or two has been fine. Still keep an eye on it though. If anyone bought one recently they might chime in and let us know their experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outrnm Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ok thats great to hear, does Puterime send QC pics before they ship for approval? Also is the Swiss ETA worth the extra change in your opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ressmeplz Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) I have a 3.5, go with the 3.5 Best thing to do, imho, is buy the clone version and swap the movement later, so you are sure that the swiss eta is really swiss Edited April 3, 2013 by ressmeplz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He assured me that I would. Since you are paying over $160 extra for a Swiss ETA over the Asian ETA in a diver, one would expect that they are giving you the real thing.... If any member who bought one with a swiss heart & opened the caseback for whatever reason, could confirm here, it'd be great..thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesfl Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I bought a Swiss V3 from Toro a little over a year ago. When I opened it up it had a Swiss sw200 movement as ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpohl402 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 ^ Yes, PureTime sends QC for approval before shipping. And ive opened up a Diver caseback, movement was indeed Swiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
