AP Experts, Crooked AP Hour Marker?

[redtien7]

Hey everybody, just got QC on my JF V7 AP ROO Diver and noticed two issues.

1) Looks like the 9 o'clock hour marker is crooked (even looks like there some glue spilling out from the bottom)

2) The #3 (from the 30 on the inner bezel) has a bad outline

Am I crazy? If not, would you guys consider this grounds to reject? I got this from TSWATCH which actually has their own in-house watch smith, so if you guys agree that it's bad do you think I should ask if they could fix it?

One other thing, the TD is saying the watch is great and that I need to realize this is a rep, not gen, are my expectations too high? (This is my first purchase for myself)

Not crooked in my eyes

The 9 o'clock marker is fine.

The 3 might have the tiniest bit of spillage, not enough to reject over IMO you're literally never going to notice it with the naked eye.

Like your TD said, it's a rep. All reps have flaws. You just need to learn what kind of flaws you can live with.

Your TD is right.

We really do demand high standards

That dial looks better than the average Gen. AP are notorious for putting markers on dials while drunk.

This is one I used to own

If this was a QC of a rep a lot of people on here will be saying reject it . The markers are so bad I don't know where to start


The 2 is not aligned between the seconds . The 3 oclock marker is touching the seconds marker, 7 oclock marker is not straight at all As for 11 oclock! etc etc

It is the horological equivalent of a pantomime.

Give the Rep makers a break !

Holy crap! Well that is a fantastic lesson learned and I will temper my expectations accordingly from here on.

I laughed my a** off when you said "AP are notorious for putting markers on dials while drunk." That deserves quote of the day
