Just in with big thanks to GC for helping me and i'm not sure...

After loving the Terrascope I got at Xmas so much, I picked up a brand new JR Aquascope from a seller on WUS with stellar feedback.

 

I asked if he could mark the value down to help with customs and he said while he would if he could he couldn't really due to his job.... a district attorney in Georgia. I looked, he really is!

 

After posting a plea for assistance on here, the total gent that is GC offered to receive it and forward it on for me. We discussed the customs situation and he marked it at a reduced value ($150) and a broken watch.

 

It came today after totally bypassing any charges! Result!

 

I excitedly opened the box, as this was the watch that "cost" me my Hamilton Pan Europ and Hydro Sub on rubber.

Yeh, it's alright....

 

When I opened it I noticed the bezel was unaligned so the OCD in me kicked in and I aligned it.

 

Oh, that's quite loose I thought. Oh there is a bit of back play in it I thought...

 

Bit disappointed. Did a search on WUS and seems like they are all like this. Ok I thought, at least it's not just me. Then I saw this

Turns out JR "design" the bezel to be loose and have a bit of play....

 

Ok.... not sure about that but if that's how it is

 

Went to put it on my wrist. Put the tabs in same holes as on my Terra...

 

Oh it's too big still.

 

Had to go right to the end holes for it to be tight enough and my wrist is just over 7 inches so not tiny.

 

Don't get me wrong. She is bloody lovely. Not my pics but you can see here the lovely brushed dial

Before anyone says it, it won't be going on m2m. Well not for a while as it is very nice and there is nothing actually wrong with it, but it is more "oh" where as the terrascope was "wow!"

It's a bummer when watches aren't as nice as you hope them to be. I feel that way about the Pelagos LHD. I've kept it so people can have a play with it at the GTG next week and then it's on it's way I think...

 

Have to say I do prefer the Hammy to this one (sorry mate)

 

Hope you warm to it though...

 

edit to add: That dial does look really nice though :)

Knowing you, that means it will go on M2M next week rather than this afternoon, yes? :D

 

Nice watch though - the dial is a stunner.

Not bad, I'm kind of the same way with mine so far. Love the Terrascopes, but the Aquascope has yet to get me to the point of considering the gen. The rep blue with white dial from the wrist check threads now and then pique my interest, but I'm not sure they're available anymore.

I love that dial! Nothing like I've ever seen before.

A reminder to me: Refresh M2M page every 5 minutes :)
