Just received my QC pics from my guy but there is a minor hand alignment issue, what looks like some missing paint (tiny amount) on the Minuit hand pinion end and movement is not decorated and doesn't have the incabloc type retainer so have asked him if this is actually an XF as most of the TDs pics show movements decorated and with incabloc type retainer.

Really makes no difference being a closed caseback but it may affect re-sale if I decide to move it on later.

I just think that maybe it was a rejected or QC return due to a previous movement issue that has been replaced with a non-decorated one, basing on the misaligned hand, slight paint missing and non-decorated mvt.

I pride myself as NOT being a nit-picker but I think if I accept it I will just end up selling it on right away.

Would you guys reject?

I would based on the hand alignment and missing paint. I can live with the movement. As for moving it on later, how much of a hit do you think it will take or put it another way how much do you think it could fetch. It's $188 for a new watch...

Just a heads up for potential buyers I have been told that all 000's now being sent from the factory come with the non-decorated and non incabloc V-style retainer, as previously noted not a biggie being a closed caseback but I would have liked to have known before ordering.

Can you tell us where did you get the info? Thanks

From a TD next door. Can't confirm if it's correct for all deliveries but it's what I was told and what mine had as per the QC pics.

Yeah mine took a little longer to get QC than normal but then with several issues with the watch and my growing impatience these days I have cancelled my order.

I've waited years for a decent 000 but have now given up.:sad:

Was going to sell my 111 as it was always the 000 that I craved for but now glad I didn't sell.

Hopefully your 000 will soon be in your hands.

I got mine from Perfect Clones. I know he’s not a TD here, but was an easy transaction with PayPal. I got QC quickly...

Shipping was via EMS Packet, which took longer than the DHL I’ve received in past, but turned out great. Might be worth checking out.

Still loving the 000. I’ve been wearing it more than most lately.

Cheers!

Got the 005 XF for comparison. Thrown in the Noob 005 as well.

As you can see in the pic, the zero has the biggest variation in lume. The five is not so bad but the Noob (centre) has the most even lume.

So if you can put up with the fat crown ...

If a deal seems to good to be true it probably is. Watchoutlet is the slowest dealer i've come across and I regret buying from them. Made the payment saturday november 25. and got the qc the following thursday. The watch is still not shipped. Was thinking of getting the 005 xf aswell. Anyone who will recomend a faster TD?

Guys, I know sometimes it takes longer than a week but in this hobby patience is required. Once I receive mine I still have to send it to get serviced and relumed because I want the best zero I can get my hands on for 10% of the gen cost. Maybe the TD's are confronting a low production/ high demand issue...
