Hi guys, received QC pictures of an AP order. Are these Scuff Marks? Ok to ask for a new piece if it is?

No scuff marks, imho.
They could be oil traces or finish defects on underside of the case. It happens often. No warranties a new one will be safe about this.

Where I need to be.
Just accept it.

If you can accept the entirely wrong looking caliber seen through the open caseback and that poorly finished rotor and jewels which look like cherry bits on a Christmas fruit cake, don’t pick on the few marks, which can likely be wiped off. The caseback is the part of the watch which will get marred and scuffed anyway when you wear it. Don’t be too picky, the next piece may not be better.

Lmao ‘Cherry bits on a Christmas fruit cake’, that comment is hilarious, spat out my coffee. :lmao:

And here am I thinking how cool do my case-back jewels look!

Not a huge deal imo. I've seen some blemishes on cases even in gens

Even if there were blemishes at the back you would never see them most of the time. You will be looking at the front 99% of the time.

If the front looks fine accept it.
