Just got the pics for the Daytona 116500 SS/SS White Dial 904L BTF V2 SA4130 I ordered. This is my first Daytona rep so not sure what to expect but I read the BTF V2 was about as good as it gets. Here are my issues with it. Am I being too picky?
1. The left subdial hand is misaligned. It should rest between the 1 and 2 and instead is in the middle of the 2. Too far right.
2. The bezel is misaligned, The tip of the triangle should line up perfectly with the hour marker, middle stem of the crown and second hand. It's off to the left and instead the right corner lines up,
3. The second hand isn't centered. It's too far right and not over the middle of the crown.
These are fairly small things that I might even chalk up to photo angle except this is the head on photo so there is no angle. They also stay consistent in the other photos at various angles. I'm normally not too picky but I have a pepsi superclone sitting collecting dust because I let a flaw slide. Pretty obvious bezel misalignment but I was impatient, thought maybe it was photo angle and approved it. Now it bugs the hell out of me and can't wear it.
I'm just generally curious if this is the best it gets, if I'm wrong to be expecting more before I say yes/no. Thanks!
