I was just browsing the gram and saw a couple pics of submariners. This new RG gmt is a stunner but look at the rehaut, the crown and the 12 marker doesn't line up.

A lot of TDs get sent on missions to fix this "flaw", it seems even Gen ADs would have to deal with the same thing LOL

Hey man — my $300 is just as good as anyone else’s and I’ll be damned if I let a TD hose me with an inferior product.

They should know that the customer is always right, we expect 1:1 replication, credit cards should be accepted and I reserved the right to return a defective item like its Amazon. Rabble, rabble, rabble ...

Mmmmmm. It's the 'tight as a Brooklyn Hoe on a Christmas Night' Rolex SEL Special - A bit more expensive than $20.00 that it's attributed to

Goddam at that new GMT in the OP. It's one sexy ass watch.
I like it a lot more than that weird, tricksy looking new Pepsi.

When your gen has a flaw you accept it because it's still a gen.
This ^^. My gen Breitling has a couple of dates that aren't exactly centred and wouldn't pass QC for some folk.
Ironic that we're happy for our gens to have faults but reps need to be flawless. Complicated and irrational sods us humans!

it's funny how that works out. i used to have a speedy whose chronograph seconds hand was off by 15 seconds, i waited almost 2 years before having that adjusted. on a rep i would have fixed it ASAP

Sadly it’s as WTF as it is Genuine - those examples are exceptions to the rules and this is why they stand out so much

Rolex AP PP VC, (all of these and more) have the most impeccable QC, if anythin is the slightest bit off they usually get completely redone.

that new rootbeer gmt pic is at an extreme angle. while the coronet at 12 looks off, check out the letters closer to 9 o'clock, they're perfectly aligned. it's just the angle of the pic that is making things look off.

I've went through 8 gens before I found one with aligned rehaut , 6 of those had crooked cyclops. Apparently they are made to tolerance..

I've also seen marked dials on brand new subs and crappy lume. The money goes to their marketing not QC

I’ve had two gen Breitlings that had dates that were too low or too high. I purchased them used so I don’t know how they actually left the factory. It bugged me much more than the same issue with a rep because they cost so much more.
