Hey guys I have a black Bay 41 on the way from lf

now people telling me that indices look off but in real life they look good so I don't know if this is the case here please help

Doesn't the six look way off or is it just the angle of the photo?

I've seen some gen ones look the same but the owners tell me in person it's straight.

That’s not a camera angle. That 6 o’clock marker is off. However, you may not be able to tell on the wrist.

6 is off, and 9 is off too. Unfortunately some makers can't get them straight, so it is not guaranteed that the next one will be better.
I would still RL

I've seen some gen that look off at even slight angles. only way to tell is to get zoomed up photos from a head on straight shot.

Like I mean if the watch case is a couple degrees tilted for some reason the markers look off

Even on a gen.

seems like the 36mm version doesn't have this issue. makes no sense. I think i might reject.

I asked elena from pure time some questions. is it possible to ask for more pics from them?

looks like the hour markers are tall and look off at an angle. But I don't think the first QC picture was taken at an angle and the marker at 6 still looks tilted.
Maybe ask for a video if you're not sure?

i asked for more pics. I think the 7 o clock is off as well. 6 and 7 are the biggest issue. the 9 looks good in some pics. so I dunno.

is this too small of a reason to reject?

this is my first rep ever.

all 3 - 9 - 6 markers are awkward, they are not aligned at all even when the hour hand is o'clock

Agree, the 3 and 9 are tilted slightly and the 6 is displaced off center left. Looks like another one I saw recently (yours?). Maybe a batch issue. Geez.
