Don't like how the ceramic bezel doesn't have a SS edge, received a Bakelite bezel from Phong for when C gets the sub dials correct.

I must say i am very impressed with this watch unfortunately i never got a chance to grab a NOOB but I am not disappointed. Much nicer than the subs.

I already have the QCs available. What do you think about it? Are the subdial correct in your opinion?

The 3 marker seems a bit crocked, other than that it is perfect

Anyone has taken off the bracelet of the most recent batch and checked if they finally fixed the wrong engraving „116503“?

Watchservicesny and oascom get all the plaudits. I can wholeheartedly recommend Mikal at watchservicesny who did a great job on my noob v4.

Hi Gaberusa
Have you asked to realign the bezel, or was it out of the box ok?

I received my QC pics, and for me it is not alligned, but I don't wont to RL... It looks like the QC from greenbeans

Took the plunge and just received my QCs. Definitely more money than I ever thought I'd find myself spending on a rep.........

Anyway, got a couple of questions around alignment on this one (I've tried to stick to the bits that I know I will look at on the wrist and will bug me if not right).

12 o'clock the hand doesn't align quite 100% vs coronet / bezel - how easy a fix would this be (bearing in mind I live very close by to one of the well-respected watchsmiths on the forum)?

Secondly, the markers at 3 and 9 don't align vs bezel. Given the angular slope of the bezel, I imagine this can distort things. What are people's thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance for clarifying the above items.

Looks like your chrono is slightly off left too?

Yours seems off just a tiny teetsie bit, not as much as the previous poster greenbeans. I could live with it.

Yes I asked for a better bezel alignment only. I specifically asked to change the bezel only not to to replace the watch because I liked the SEL and the hours index.
If you have more than one issue with the watch, kindly ask for another one and point the issues to be avoided on the next watch.
As far as I know CF bezel are sold individually, so that’s why I asked for a bezel replacement only. It depends on who’s your TD and what he is willing for.

Hi,

thank you for your answer. My TD is Jtime. I wrote back asking if they can align the bezel. Hope I get a positive answer.
What do you actually write then? QC accepted, send me the watch, or what is the "official" wording? :confused:
