So I'm getting my very first rep and decided to go thru Trusty on a SO2

Just got the QC pics and I believe it's pretty solid ... But something looks off to me regarding the bezel. Is there a protective film on it?

Looks good to me. I don't see any protective film. Who is the factory? I see black on the inner bezel from 45 to 65. That is just reflection. Why did you decide to go with a dealer that is not a trusted dealer here on your first purchase? If you have a major problem you are SOL.

I see what looks to be bubbles or something between the 45 and in other places. Went with TT as I have heard good things (even without being a TD here) and because I could go through PayPal. If things go well I'll consider sorting out Bitcoin and would gladly try Intime or Pure

I don't see anything. When I look at the photo with crown up and down I don't see anything wrong. I ask about the factory that made the watch because GF is the best. Noob is very good, OMF is 3rd tier. If you have Powerpoint you can markup the photos to show your concern. I have this watch. You can ask Trusty for another photo straight on covering the area of concern.

The Noob is IMHO a better rep than the GF version. I’ve had several of these and currently have this exact watch. I’ve photographed it several times and those “ghost” images appear on my bezel as well at certain angles. It’s not present in real life. I know, I can’t explain it...but it does that. Here’s a couple shots of mine:

You can see the ghosting in the last two images. But its not there....really weird!

And FWIW, I’ve used Andrew at Trusty for thousands of dollars of purchases and he’s never let me down. I’m not sure what happened to TD status on this forum but he’s always been good in my book!

Thank you for the confirmation ... Looks like I'll be giving this the green light!
