Hi all. I received the watch today. The truth is that in general it looks very good but it has 3 defects that at the time I did not notice in the QC photos, until I see it in person. As you can see in the bottom part of the 12 o'clock marker there is a small space and it looks misaligned, the DW is misaligned, from day 1 to 19 it is not so noticeable, but from 20 to 31 it is much more noticeable and the crown is reversed once it is screwed.
Greeting.

IWCguylovers I meant for you to unscrew the crown, twist it a little bit and then screw it again. Try your luck until the logo faces up while fully screwed.

Not even gens have always an aligned crown logo...

to achieve a different appearance the whole tube has to be turned by a certain angle - as the tube is most likely also screwed in while being glued/fixed with a loctite like component the windings or at least the tubes position must be redone like i said... all in all impossible or uneconomical IMO.

Zero posts junior member, would you like to elaborate? :) Only some silver SS V5’s and the RG black have the new dial so far.
