Hi guys,

ordered vrf sub and here are the QC pics.

I have a few issues I’d appreciate if people tell me I’m crazy or not.

1. The 2 on the 26 datewheel looks slanted - misaligned

2. The pearl looks slightly off to the left / so does the triangle marker ( slightly )

3. Bracelet sel gap - on one side.. not sure if this is ok or not, not overly happy about it !!

Thats is all I can see for now

Thanks very much







Like a bus with no wheels, this thread is going nowhere - pics removed.

Not sure about the 26. But this has the same amount of SEL gap as gen. There are a few recent threads on this. When you put any watch in a bright white studio, it will have a little bit of SEL gap. The pearl is not left, it's just that the watch is at a slight angle left angle. Notice how you can see more of the rehaut on the left side than right?

You can reject OP. But Chances are the next watch will be worse

Some interesting thoughts guys - I guess the differences are very small.

one larger concern is the 26 - I do think it’s slightly tilted..

Yeah, it's good. If you rejected it for - what I don't know - you can expect to go to the back of your TD's queue and maybe further before you get the next one. You'd be a lousy customer and not one they would want to keep.

I'm sure the next one will be worse - go ahead and reject it.

What movement is it? If it is 2824 or 2836 my guess is that the date is on every watch not fully centered. Anyways the pictures look good imho.

Looks like a beautiful watch and when you’re not looking at it zoomed in you won’t notice these “flaws”.

Don't be ridiculous on the level of scrutiny. This watch is good considering how much you are paying compared to Gen. Your next may be worst. Just accept it.

Pays 500 for a rep but expects perfection? :(......Watch looks beautiful...just accept it. I've accepted a Noob daytona with shit dial, bezel, misaligned 120 index and a clasp with visible "extra" material. You get for what you pay for. Even gens aren't perfect.

I’ve asked for a few more pics of the sel to check it is recessed ...
And they emailed back saying the factory can’t do that... they asked me to choose another one or refund it ?!?!?!?

What kind of service is that.

They hve have only showed me the sel from front on, s
and it looks like it is not recessed properly...
