English may not be your first language, but this:


I have to show you my QC from Chazingtime who refused to change the watch (I rejected the first QC pics).

This really does give the impression you rejected a watch - rejecting QC pics ? there's nothing to reject, you ask for more/better pics.

Whatever, reject the watch in the pics, if they refuse then ask for your money back.

Yep sorry this is the language barrier. I might have written wrong.

This is the watch I accepted. At first I was sceptical about 12, 3 and maybe 6, asked from the td to try another one. The td never had problem in the past to replace a watch that I didn't like, but this time said that the watch was OK and zf refused to change it.
I received it yesterday and I am very happy with it!

The watch came with sail strap installed (with deployant buckle) and an extra rubber (classic buckle)

Today received new QC from the NEW watch.




I think it looks better than the first one. I am only paranoid about the "12" markings, but maybe it is the angle... so should I accept? Think 80% yes...

Dude the “12” is obviously off. I guess it’s the 2 of the “12” that’s crooked. I wouldn’t accept this if I were you. Trust me, once you give an approval to this, you’ll end up regretting it and wished that you would’ve done something about it because I have been there (t’was with my JF AP15400 with a very slightly crooked marker yet at times it drives the sh*t out of me). So before it all happen, you might wanna ask for something else, at least to get something with no crooked markers. Good luck man

However, upon my research on the net, I managed to come across the fact that the “12” marker on a Gen BP FF is supposed to be like that, so I guess you’re good to go buddy. My apologies for my previous unbased comment, never had any BP FF before, hence my confusion. Cheers mate ;)

The 1 is perfectly straight. This is not going to turn into a 15 page thread about your QC pics. You asked a question, it was answered - several times. Either accept the watch or reject - it's your decision, the watch is for you so you have to decide.

P.S. No more QC pics in this thread.
