After two rounds of rejecting QC shots from Puretime. Primarily due to misaligned markers, pearl and poor pearl quality. Approved the third one. It’s winging its way to me now via the UK. I‘ll post some shots on arrival.

 

Absolutely gorgeous, have to get my hands on one of these.

Look forward to seeing it. I'm pleasantly surprised they fixed the issues with this model. How bad were the rejected QCs?

Here are a couple shots of the pearl from the first two watches offered. That was the main issue for me. Together with misaligned markers. The bracelet clasp looked misaligned too on one of the watches. On the other, there appeared to be a small hole in the lume application on the hour hand. 

 

Pearl, rough edged on one watch:

Pearl, misaligned on the other:

Marker alignment is still an issue. On the third watch offered, that I approved, they aren’t perfect. In general, markers at 12, 3 and 6 are the ones to watch out for.
