Hi all,

After RL on the first watch with one of the TD's (Received an old batch watch), I got a new one.

there are two things that concern me at the moment:

- Weird gold marking at 12 O'clock above the pearl - appears in several photos (Looks like a reflection of the pearl housing but hard to tell)

-Black markings on the crown

what do you think about these rejects ?

Do you spot anything else that might trouble me later?

thanks a lot!

What did your dealer say when you expressed to him your concerns about the dot above the pearl and the dark colouring on the crown?

Confused. Is this supposed to be a reject? Are you buying rejects at a discounted price? Or are you paying full price

Even though the lume colors now match, it seems that the lume color is too white compared to gen, wich seems to be more yellowish.
Or would that be a non issue in the metal?

Thanks

do you know what gilt dial means?

Hi, just received my bb58, however the clasp is not closing properly, anyone else has the same problem or any idea of a fix? Here's a picture compared to another Heritage BB I have.

Oh, Wrong choice of words and translation from my native language I guess :)
By rejects I meant to "issues".
anyway, I approved the watch.
The black marks are just dirt leftovers and that "golden" thing is just a reflection of the pearl housing as I suspected.
I will post some photos once it arrives.
thanks all
