I just received QC pics for a nautilus ppf v3. It’s hard to tell if the dial/markers are straight. Pictures of movement attached too. Would love to know what you guys think.

Topic on “A little on QC pics”

member states :

“QC pics should only be posted if you have some doubt and need to ask a question such as.....(examples given)...not a general “can anyone see anything wrong?””

I read on the forum that I could ask QC pic questions. But had to be specific. Have I been misinformed?

No you haven't, but what's the point of posting pics of the back of the watch if your question is about dial markers? Unless you're trying to be smart and circumvent the rules? And BTW "dial markers are straight" us not specific. Which ones are you concerned about? 12 o'clock? 9? 6?

Tobel, My intentions are not to be smart or finesse the rules. I am here to be honest, mindful, and most off all respectful on this forum.

My apologies if it came off that way. That is not my purpose here.

I also have not stated the name of the member where I read that information in full-respect towards them. But in my defense, it IS stated here on the forum where members responded thankfully for the advice and information given (which should be taken down if this is an issue)

Though, I do understand you that I may have not been specific enough, so I will dive deeper into my question...

1.) Are the 9 and 6 markers crooked or is the dial just slightly tilted to the right? Optical illusion?

2.) my reasoning for posting the movement : the picture is a bit blurry so it’s hard to tell if it is a PPF v2 or updated v3

3.) also, there seems to be a missing pin on the lug where the case and links meet. Is that just the design of the replica?

My apologies again, and only hope my intentions are clear to you and every member on this forum.

With Peace,

Makoto

Pictures were taken down...

Now what is the best way to get QC advice from other members ?

Some of your pictures are up again. The markers at 6 and 9 are fine. I see no missing link. A picture of the movement is needed to verify if its a v2 or v3.

Appreciate your help/response

So the dial looks centered?

I’ve circled the concern for missing pin in this image here

Here are reference photos from the internet

Fair enough. Markers look good to me. For the 2 other questions we indeed need to see additional pics to answer. Ask Glaude nicely if, given the additional questions that you asked, you can post them back.

He can post them back I advised him about that.

I appreciate you taking the time Tobel , I see that this guy while being new, doesn't have a bad attitude with him, for a change !

But just as a reminder (not for you of course) QC pic are to make sure you got the proper watch you ordered and that there's no glaring flaws with it. It's not to nit pick the best watch possible, this is not their purpose.

Thank you both...


1.) Here are the two pictures of the movement I received. Confirm PPF v2 or v3 ?

Here is my concern regarding straightness of dial to bezel/case. Is it slightly tilted towards the right?

And here is my final concern regarding a missing pin to lug/case/bracelet. If you zoom in you’ll see the difference to each lug

Images of the bracelet were sent to me as well, and that has passed on my end.

Your expertise is appreciated :)

I don't think there's any misalignment problem at all.

For the version, I would need to consult some other threads and image as I can't remember right now, even though I knew that pretty well, so I'll let other answer

And for the pin, it's not missing, it's just a big further back in the hole and the "black" spot you see is just a reflection

Got it.

I actually looked at PureTimes images and the movement looks the same as my TD’s so I think I’m in the clear.

Thank you for the info on the pin. Much appreciated.

I will approve the photos with my TD then.

I hope these pictures/info helps everyone else too.

Movement looks like mine, its a V3. I cross checked mine with TD images and the images in this thread. Theres an updated decoplate with the correct number of jewels and updated placement on the v3.

Yours matches.

Looks like a V3 to me. No misalignment issue. For the pin, if you're in doubt you can ask your TD to double check, that's always the best solution. But as mentioned by Glaude, it's likely a reflection
