So Rolf,are you only getting a re-lume...what about the non aesthetic issues you spoke of?Those issues are to be looked at also, but after asking others that own ocean divers, I might seem like there is a bit of play in all crowns, and as Carlos himself stated the reset button was that way by design( a bit loose) to work properly with the movement. I won`t say I`m very happy with that, but when so, If I choose to get a new watch from him instead, I might just be stuck with all the same issues (but no dust), and still want it relumed, and looked at. So this way, I get the issues sorted as best they can be I guess. But, I was strongly considering getting the new watch and go from there at my own expense (relume). And as the hands are also being repainted, the issues with them not completely covered are also solved. So, others might have chosen differently, but I feel this way I get most of the things I want done. At least when I ended up in this mess in the first place. And all I want is to have the watch I ordered, fault-free and with better lume. And now I`ll have that.
But, here we come the the first issue ...The crown for adjusting the internal bezel has quite a lot of play. I would say mine has about a 1-1,5mm play and is quite loose. Being so loose, most of the time the V pip on the bezel is of-centre to 12 o´clock. Not a BIG thing, but something I find irritating. There is no real reason why this crown should be so loose.
The minute hand on mine however is not completely coated in black
The start/stop button is firm and nice, but the reset button on mine is loose both from side to side and up and down
And things could and should have been done differently from the beginning (QC is a big thing imho, when one advertise it the way it is), but at least now it`s finally sorted out.
