Hi guys,

I just received my QC pictures for 2 pieces of the watch. Each watch I circle where I felt might be an issue. It’s my first Watch that I Qc myself and will appreciate everyone here for the feedback.

However both watch have a similar issue which is the different lume colors was an obvious.

Here’s the pictures

Watch 1

The lugs go seems to be uneven, is it acceptable?

5pm screw seems to be too deep in

1pm screw too deep in

Watch 2

The color of the bracelet at the circle part seems to be “rusted” or have some brown coloring. Should I ask for a clearer picture?

Gap of the bracelet seems to be much wider than the first watch.

8pm screw is too deep in

Not sure if it’s my eyes playing tricks on me but seems like watch two “piguet” fonts seems to be uneven.

For the screws can our TD does the adjustment instead of me rejecting?

I am kinda sad the lumes color are not aligned, I would have thought I gotten the same batch as the others. :(

Nevertheless any feedback on what I found or more will be deeply appreciated.. thanks!

Hey guys just received my QC pictures from puretime, my concern is the AP logo not centered?, and the blue dial looks lighter and more grayish than the other v2 here. What do you think

Dial and screws look like a V1 to me.

That’s what I thought too, the dial is not blue like previous QC pictures. Shame though the markers lume is really good

I think you are over nitpicking ! all these concerns you mention are not obvious in real life, it is a replica watch at the end of the day, accept the watch and enjoy it !

This is a v1 dial with matching lume colours. A very rare breed. I believe the factory was in the process of dumping old stock but in this case it works in your favour. I have this watch (v1) and i can tell you it is almost impossible to see the individial letters from wrist distance as it is too small. Nobody reads a brand's indivudual letters when seeing someone else's watch. To me it is a non-issue.

I don’t think it is a V2. Dial looks like an old version to me and so does the lume. There is a slight mismatch that might be corrected by better lighting. I would reject.

I have V1 too. V1 dial blue color is better than V2. More gen like for me

Really guys your QC pictures are amazing and I would have accepted any of those watches you‘ve just shown here in an instant. Do you know how small this watch and these details are in real life? Come on you can‘t be serious... You won‘t see any of these "flaws" in red circles you painted with your naked eyes, believe me.
If there were major flaws like super crooked markers as we have seen last years on JF 15400 V3 models and other watches oooookay, then reject as it is a hassle to fix this for some watch smiths. But red circleing the totally fine screws or the bracelet links where only the shadow is making them look more separated is not cool and TDs will be pissed soon...

Hi guys,
I need a suggestion, I have a V1 but because of the bezel I'm thinking to get a V2.
Since I'll have the chance to get the best parts of the two worlds... what do you think I should take from old one?

From what I’ve seen and heard, people complain about V2s lume and bracelet. So, I‘d say take dial and bracelet from V1 and put it on the V2. Ultimately it depends on the execution of your particular pieces I would say.
Plus, I am no expert and don’t know whether the pieces will fit nicely when changed.
