Got QC pics today. Looks good, but am I seeing the brushing on the bezel is not straight in correct direction?

Thank you for confirming Herr QueTip! I have canceled this QC and will wait for new ones.

You can ALSO google and YouTube and write your own thesis here, maybe do it even better.
I still remember how hilarious it is when I posted a pic of my gen to show the yellow gold rotor and he used a google pic of the ROO rotor to show me how wrong I must have been :hehehe:

I think i‘m better off relying on my own experience and what my eyes see - and i think i won‘t ever get to his level
Got some new QC pics today. Bezel looks good this time! Except I'm concerned about the damage I may be seeing on the screws that attach the bracelet to the case. I've asked the TD for close up focused pictures of the screws. What are your thoughts guys?
I think the one on the left looks to be a broken screw head but I am hoping it's just the lighting perhaps? Might be wishful thinking though. Let's see what the TD sends but comments from members are welcome as well. Thank you.

Trusty just posted a v2: http://trustytime.asia/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=241_246&products_id=21883
could just be lighting, but the dial looks darker. I’m interested to see more if it’s a true ‘v2’

I forget the differences between the XF V1 and V2? Back in this thread was there ever any comparison pictures between V1 and V2 XF?
Actually come to think of it I don't think there was ever a V1 15202BC XF. They released the 15202 BC V2 when they released the 15202IP V2 I think? Maybe I'm confusing things.

I believe its just an update to Trusty's catalogue not a new product. Trusty previously used a pic of a gen for the watch with 'pic of gen watch used' label on it. This was so because at that time it was open for pre-order. Andrew has now updated the catalogue and used a pic of the actual XF watch.

The screws are fine. Its just a reflection off an object (most probably the camera) as screws on both sides have dark spots. Unlike bracelet screws you would never have to unscrew these lug screws anyway (unless you're changing the bracelet).
Hi Anadrol5, thanks for taking a look at the QC pic. The TD emailed back and said the screws are actually damaged but did not send any closer pics. They also said they will swap the bracelet lug screws out for me. Question: I know it is a simple enough thing to swap out bracelet lug screws but should i be concerned that the TD will scratch the case or use the wrong screws for this? I've had some bad experiences with this sort of thing from a TD that opened up a case back to show the movement and there were scratches all over the case back when I got the watch.
