Like it or not it’s not close to the genuine ones. GREEN / PPF so far is much closer to gen.

As long we all receive it, like it, let live with it. hahaha... of coz in rep world, nothing beats the gen. for sure or unless we swap the dial with gen. dial.
but currently, it not that we want the GREEN or PPF we can have it. it isn't available due to the raid. haha..
I will try to post more actual pic when receive the watch as QC photos may seems different

Got my QC. Does the jewel look misaligned? Is it the angle?
Look at the pictures on PureTime of the movement. It appears that this is normal for this rep.

Here is the JTime photo:
It has a metal ring around the jewel
Here is puretime:
No ring and its not centered...

Good catch Karlus, maybe there are some real differences in this watch from the various factories.
Ok, looks like "Green Maker" had this ring, and the new PPT does not
Ok that's it I'm canceling my order!!! Haha
I think there is some variation between these factories. Earlier in this thread I posted a picture of another difference between PPF and Green Maker with the movement. A slight difference but difference nonetheless.
As I thought as the companies have passed the watch along each fac would cut a corner to maximize profit.

Kinda looks like the bridge plate is not lining up properly with where the jewel is supposed to be. Would be interested to know from those that got delivery if this is the same on their PPF watches. Might also be something that can be "aligned" properly during service...dunno.
I'm inclined here to approve QC (and probably order a 2nd one.) I deeply regret I didnt buy more of the Noob Daytonas when I had the chance, and wonder if we wont get a watch like this one (or the Daytonas) again.

I tried buying a Bvlgari Octisimo Titanium OXF edition and they are no more. It looks like since the raids that many watches are unavailable.

There's also Chinese pubes included in this watch.

The “jewel” on the GM deco bridge is a deco fake, the real balance jewel is underneath as shown in the PPT pic. PPT neglected to install their fake jewel, or perhaps they ran out of them.
The movement of the watch is no where near gen. So lets stop nit picking....
as long as the front of the watch looks good
thats all that matters to me
im not gonna take it off the wrist anyway

I would pay 300% more for a watch with Chinese pubes in it.
If my QC pics have the misaligned jewel and bridge then I will absolutely reject it.

Just like Hor-fam indicated... it’s not misaligned. It’s just a fake bridge plate, the real jewel is underneath and working with no problems. It means they just didn’t put another decorative jewel in it to cover the real jewel.
Not to say it’ didn’t cut corners, but it’s purely cosmetical and not affecting the functionality.
Anyways, one should think for themselves whether to accept it or not but it’s a rep after all and I think we should use the ‘the glass is half full’ mentality here instead of ‘the glass is half empty’. The functioning moonphase, succesful dial and real micro rotor is already a breakthrough. We can nitpick over every detail , but then you will end up depressive haha.
