Obvious flaw in JF v2 AP Roo 44mm

[yellowfinger]

I was QCing my new order and went thru 3 samples already. They all have the same obvious flaw. The 6 oclock and 120 on the tach is misaligned. Anyone have this issue for their JF V2 44MM?

It’s a pretty common flow on all the 44mm.....

even if you look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmGNINAjX5I&t=446s

the 120 and 6 oclock is not aligned

even on the Gen version the 6 oclock and 120 doesnt line up perfectly... a little bit better than yours but not so substantial that everybody will notice it.

Its just the angle. They are perfectly aligned on mine.

a) angle - that's not actually that bad and
b) there are worse flaws.

just accept and dont give your TD such a hard time.

Hahaha you might want to do some research man. I've seen WAY worse alignments than what you are showing but it's a common issue and would drive me insane.

case too thick
- dial of all rep 44s not symmetrical as per gen, marker at 3 o’clock too short
- hands base too wide
- dial color inaccurate on your chosen model
- crown not offset as per gen
- datewheel is closer but not exact
- movement is totally different, decoration will not stand up to scrutiny.
- AP logo position on dial not accurate
- a lot of other details.

Just curious, were you thinking that you will be getting a 1:1 copy of the 44mm ROO?
In this hobby it’s mostly about enjoying the watch and managing expectations. Both the 42 and 44mm ROOs are very flawed. You need to realize that.
