My QC Pics for your consumption (not posting for help with finding issues, just cos there are few pics of this rep out there). This thing looks sexy! Can't wait.

Wait, is IMGUR banned here or something? I can't get any of those to show when I throw in the BBCODE here. Or if I use the image addition link form here.

Somehow that worked! Thanks RideInStyle

Tried, it only allows me pasting in a link on the Image upload form. Says I cannot upload attachments to this channel.


Looks like there is paint missing on the top of the 30

 

[RideInStyle]

Have you used the pic upload button in the upper right corner of the reply field? It works for me.

Anybody see the paint missing on the 3 in my pictures above? Or am I seeing things? Guessing I can ask a QC question if I have a specific issue to discuss.

Yeah, looks to be a bit missing. It could be something else - ask the TD to clarify perhaps?

I’ve noticed on my 616 that the 0-15 index paint in these carbotech bezels can drop / rub / wash out really easily. And repainting then is a bitch because the carbon material wants to soak up any sort of paint retouch making clean up hard. They also seem too thin/ faint and less defined compared with the gen.

Beautiful watch!

 

[RideInStyle]

Gen.

 

[RideInStyle]

Color of indices is slightly off, strap color, as said before, off too.

 

[spursian]

Gen.

Nice. Are the bezel markers numerals gun metal or silver in color?

 

[RideInStyle]

Looking more silverish than white

Meanwhile, the gen has 15 30 45 somewhat dark while the rep has them filled in white.

However, as far as the indices' color goes, I think that's exacerbated by the lighting as well. You can see the gen photo is darker on the carbon sections as well, whereas the rep has the carbon being lighter/better lit (which I don't think is the case, they're similar in color in reality).

The plan was to get both and decide which one to keep... now the 979s turned up.. I've decided!
I'm keeping both!

You are wise beyond your years!

I shall be doing exactly the same as you, I just need my 961 to turn up!

Why decide when you can have both ;-)
I'm planning to keep both too, just love thes carbon cases so much.

Anyone know how one can paint the 15-30-45 numerals gunmetal/silver? Would it work painting over the white numbers?

That looks great, spursian ! Are those numbers on the bezel etched in and painted white or simply white paint on those little black buttons? I'm wondering if a fine sharpie would be able to turn them silver / grey like they should be.
