After reading countless of posts from these two amazing pros smoke occb2

I decided to order my first NOOB V9 from chazingtime. Just received my QC pictures.

​​​​​With my untrained eyes I do noticed something is off between the dial and the insert (where the 6oclock meets the 30) but I cannot make out what exactly it is \(a slight bit off centered?\).

I also notice the cyclops is off as well and there is huge gap in the clasp. The datewheel is not centered vertically nor horizontally.



Can you please give me your inputs?

There's nothing wrong with the cyclops or the clasp (little shadow there). You won't ever get a much better DW alignment.

What you see at 6 o'clock is the hour marker is cocked about a degree left (CCW). Hold your phone almost flat, tilted away from you and look at the pic from 6 to 12 at that angle its easy to see. (Like you're coming in for a landing on the 6 marker)

You have to decide if you want to live with it that way. I have one or two that are as bad or a little worse, they don't catch my eye anymore.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this thread with a useful post. Im very new to the rep game and have been reading on reddit about what to look out for and I may be (probably am) a more nit picky than usual.

Really appreciate it :)

Tucker I've been reading a lot of posts on the v9 and I noticed you're among the few people who are very active during the discussion of this watch. It would be great to get some feedback from you as well. What's your QC analysis?

Don’t think Tucker is going to give you any help other than saying just accept it - people don’t tend to enjoy their days looking over other people’s QCs all the time! :p

They’re reps at the end of the day and if you’re trying to fool someone with it then no matter how perfect of a Noob V9 it is, it’ll still have noticeable differences vs gen to someone who knows what to look for!

imo your one looks much better than mine that I accepted last year, so just go with it man - you’ll find it looks much better on the wrist! :)

You’ve got the wrong Tucker.

The watch is fine. I would take it in a minute.
If you have them change it, the new one will have other defects. It is what it is, a rep.

This whole thread is 11 days late.

@anymodwhowilllisten Can we please institute mandatory "on-boarding" training for new members...this is getting to be a bit much daily.

Im surprised you haven't mentioned the 12 oclock markers. Its way off center and too far to the right. Honestly, I wouldn't go too crazy with QC pics. You are buying a rep. As long as there isn't anything way off then you will end up spotting every issue and spoiling your purchase.
