Sirlordcomic Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 There is chatter about QC pics coming with a blue pearl... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pauly404 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 Great rep but not a great gen... Not to me anyway.
Donerix 2.0 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 Sorry, I was put of town yesterday. Will take pictures this morning. E
rusky158 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 Many thanks mate very interested for my incoming.
ww12345 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 Uh-oh Donerix, they're on to you over at the Omega Forum. They know exactly where to get the band in your picture: . . . . . Some online place called BandRBand. They're sure of it! Rofl...
rusky158 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 Well, that's the 300 qc pics approved and just sent a pp for one of Eric's fine straps - now the hard part begins. I've refrained from buying reps for at least 6months thought I'd weened myself off then this thread lead me astray!!!
508-Fanatic Posted November 8, 2014 Report Posted November 8, 2014 Dead as a door-nail, bummer Andrew at TT is now offering the new 300 at a slightly better price: http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=12344

Do you think the QC process is different considering the price differences? I don't want it DOA or showing up with fuzz in the movement.
Hyjynx Posted November 8, 2014 Report Posted November 8, 2014 Thanks! Do you think the QC process is different considering the price differences? I don't want it DOA or showing up with fuzz in the movement. And therein lies the rub with Sead. His prices can't be beat, and he's one of the most reliable TDs around, but generally does not send QC photos and tracking information unless they are specifically requested (I always do with all my preferred TDs, and he's one of them). Yep - you pay and your watch just shows up at your doorsteps a fairly reasonable time thereafter. One thing you're guaranteed though (and the reason why Sead is preferred by many) is he picks and sends the best available. Barring shipping mishaps, DOAs from Sead are rare. 1
508-Fanatic Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 What do we really think of these Miyota movements? I've heard their shock-protection and balances are just nowhere near ETA quality, or even Seagull... Anyone want to chime in here?
Nightwatch Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 What do we really think of these Miyota movements? I've heard their shock-protection and balances are just nowhere near ETA quality, or even Seagull... Anyone want to chime in here? It really doesn´t matter, it depends on who assembled it, with how much care and under which conditions (i.e how much dirt got in during assembly or not). For shockproof You have top-chinese quartz (not a joke, they are good) It´s definitely on my wishlist, I do like the retro-look and Omega is on the right track here:) 1
508-Fanatic Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 They don't have the corrected version yet, if I'm right. So far I've only seen it at puretime... Is this still the case? I just ordered mine from Trusty Time

Sirlordcomic Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 The lume looks all blue on the TW site.
508-Fanatic Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 The lume looks all blue on the TW site. Oh man... WTF.... How did I miss that??? That's obnoxious. Maybe I can still cancel my order. I have been going back and forth between TW and PT so much, I must've just got confused. Ugh... Thanks for pointing that out, appreciate it.

ww12345 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 I think mine has a blue pearl... Don't know what I was thinking - definitely a green pearl. :S (Don't type tired...)
Sirlordcomic Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 Is the pearl lume blue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
rusky158 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) As far as I understand the pearl should be green. I've ordered up one with white hands and correct 8400 rotor but pearl is blue not a deal breaker for me, as I can always get it properly relumed with super luminova later Edited November 10, 2014 by rusky158
