OP 114300 white QC question

[Perpetual]

Hi all! Just received the QC pics for my oyster perpetual 114300 in white dial.

My question is, does the lower right lug-to-sel look like a larger gap to the rest of the lugs points?

other then this the watch seems fine

should I except it with the gap spacing or request another

thanks!

That’ll be fine mate, incomprehensible IRL but it is noticeable here only because of the very bright back lighting and reflections and shadows.

What factory is that?

 

[thrillofhunt]

Its ARF

 

[johnlogan]

Looks perfect!

I am not seeing any SEL-gap-issue,this watch is green-light imo.

 

[Perpetual]

Thanks for the info guys!! I've actually noticed a bigger problem, the hands are indeed short on this example.

have a look,

GEN


REP

I've declined and asked for another

UBF

 

[Perpetual]

Its ARF

I actually went with the UBF for this one simply because the SH movement. Now if AR used VR movements my decision may have changed some, well the markers on ARF arent cut like gen although the UBF did a very nice job with IMO

cheers!

I'm so desperate for a good version of this watch! Please keep us updated OP with how the watch is when you get it.

Personally the 'hands issue' is not a concern to me, but the pure white colour of the dial and lume is really important to me. QC makes it look way too yellow, but that could easily be the lighting - so please, please, please send natural light pics when your receive yours so we can see if it's white enough!

That looks good regardless.

Will do man!

yea the hands needs to be correct length for me because if 2 reasons,

1) I don't want to replace these as these are the newer (thicker) ones as per Gen

2) length needs to be correct if I need to relume them to match the lume color of the dial markers (if need be)

Nice! Lets get some IRL when in hand.

 

[GingerBubba]

I can't see a difference between the refused QC and the accepted one! Anyway, I'm looking forward to natural light pics (and a mini review) too.

Ah, okay, a slight difference, thanks.

Those tiny differences go straight over my head though - I think I'm genuinely lucky not to see/care about smaller flaws!
