dusk Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Took ownership today from the helpful people at torro. Very happy and after rocking a BK sub c for a week this is growing on my every second. Very happy. A few notes on the spec from the site: DESCRIPTION: Ceramic Bezel 2012 Planet Ocean CASE: 316L Stainless steel MOVEMENT: Asian ETA 2836 Automatic Movement, 28800bph DIMENSIONS: 42mm x 16mm CRYSTAL: Sapphire with Double AR Coating STRAP / BRACELET: Stainless steel Now pics, I've tried to be as thorough as possible but my phone doesn't do macro and it's not had a buff so comes covered in fingerprints. None the less I hope you get a feel for the product and it's quality. I hope this helps someone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frost Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Is the 'He' valve functional? I believe the one I purchased is from the BP Factory (Trusty Time). The 'He' valve is more recessed and does not stick out as much. I believe it is supposed to stick out further (as per the gen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegasvic Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Sweet watch Dusk! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusk Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks fellas. Frost, the HE valve does lock out about 1.5 turns so I suppose it could be functional but I can't guarantee it? It won't be going near the sea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusk Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Weight is 187g the gen shows on Amazon at 190g but dunno how accurate Amazon's figure is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipw1999 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Is the 'He' valve functional? I believe the one I purchased is from the BP Factory (Trusty Time). The 'He' valve is more recessed and does not stick out as much. I believe it is supposed to stick out further (as per the gen). It is. Someone at RWI is making the first Cr PO franken and took apart the watch. The HEV does indeed have a spring-loaded valve to release positive over pressure in the case just like gen and it appears to be functional. The gaskets were in place and even greased which was another pleasant surprise. Indeed on mine, I can unscrew it about one turn or so too.

Fracture Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Too bad they can't get the print on the bezel right. I have one with a misaligned print as well, very off-putting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
