Rejected QC pics ARF V3 126600 Sea Dweller

[Aldo69]

So, decided to finally pull the trigger and order a V3 50th Anniversary for my 50th birthday present to myself for next month.
The 7 in the DWO is almost touching the top of the date window, and the silver inlay on the bezel insert looks like its been painted by a kid with a brush.
Received the QC pics this morning, and have to say, seriously NOT impressed that PT would even see fit to send out something like this in the first place.
Always dealt with Ryan in the past, but he cant guarantee one in time for my birthday, with everything going on at Intime just now, so gave Puretime my first purchase.
Having spent almost $600 including watch, box and postage to the UK, its not inspiring me with hope.
Pics to follow, as I'm having trouble uploading them at work.
Hopefully someone in their QC department has a better look over the next offering.

Look at the bezel, the silver inlays are awful.

You would accept this? Look at the numbers on the bezel.

Dude, the paints falling out of the insert.

 

[mari115]

i would reject, seems like it's been sitting in water since last week

The SEL are not recessed evenly. The lower parts are even sticking out. Problem with late V2 and now V3. Would not accept that.

have to admit 30 is bad , but we r talking about 4x macro shoots now

If owners of gens got macro shots and QC pics of gens, they'd never sell a watch. I'm amazed at the flaws people post on TRF. It's easy to find flaws on any watch.

dude really? the paint is coming off, it's not a small flaw ahahah

Ouch, dw alignment is bad, bezel could be wet tho?? Either way i'd reject as well

 

[Aldo69]

Yup, agreed, even without zooming in on the shots, the bezel, DWO and the SEL are awful. This is my first time dealing with Puretime, and seriously hope it can be rectified. Should have used my head and stuck with Intime. Cant believe the QC dpt at Puretime would even consider sending this out. Know Ryan wouldnt let something like this go out!

 

[Aldo69]

And come on, seriously. Looks like they’ve lined the top of the 7 up with the top of the date window. ????

I didn't say these flaws were acceptable. I was just saying I'm surprised the some of the flaws that pop up on gens and end up posted on TRF.

Somekne was showing the "Rolex" and ???? and it looked like hairs were stuck to the logo. Or scratches in dials (consistently). Many are pretty bad.
