Hi guys,
i've got QC pics from my TD for a Datejust II by BP but I'm concerned about date wheel, It seems really not centered, and some of the markers on the Dial seem bit aligned. Is that the best I can get? Or picture effects only?
Thanks!

If you hold your phone almost flat and close one eye, then look at a marker like it's a runway you are approaching it's pretty easy to see a crooked marker. 8 - 2 and 10 - 4 show a little crookedness, it's hard to tell if only one or both markers in each pair are off. It looks like 4 and 8 are the worst offenders.

Walk with a limp and let your arm hang. Should be good then from a droopy arms length.

Been looking at this pic over and over, seriously apart from the slightly low DW, I can't see anything wrong with the watch. Anyways the BP is not a very expensive rep so just buy and enjoy. If it disturbs you, just sell it off....simple.

Things I noted ...date wheel is left justified, endlnk gap is uneven, dial doesn't line up with rehault Rolex engraving.

No chance the angle of the picture is the cause of the anomalies I noted?

Well i dont think it will get any better, i own the same watch and it is just not as good as ARF for example. That is what you get if you spend less money mate.

Hi guys,

Got new QC pics and this seems Better to me, at least nothing I see immediately so It would not disturb myself on the wrist. Your thoughts?

OF COURSE!! Don’t you??!?!?!?

Like look at this bullshit…. Ok, red is BAD and green is GOOD

1. Look at this ridiculous cyclops!! One side reflects, the other doesn’t. What gives??

2. Look at the 22’s. One side faded waaaaaay more than the other!! More horse shit.

3. Don’t even get me started on the gap between my hollow end links.

4. Look at these spots on the lume!!!!

5. Does the rectangle at 6 o’clock look even to you guys? Seems kinda not as straight as my digitally imposed rectangle. I mean… lines are lines right??

I’m thinking of sending this right back to 1972 ALONG WITH a very very sternly written letter.

For the love of humanity, even R factory can’t get it right. I bet you ANYTHING Mr. Moderator that a watch that’s 1/60th of the price from Big Pilot factory does a waaaay better job.
