Hey guys was wondering if anyone could give some QC advice on a V2.

The crown looks more like a v1 to me and the pearl seems a bit off.

I'd think so too. The crown looks quite long. Did you order from a TD which explicitly states that it is a V2?

Thanks for the replies. I think so, Heritage BB Fifty Eight 39mm SS/SS Blk ZF V2 A2824

just got some QC pics. Should the top triangle line up with the top of the shield? Or is this something i should not expect
from a rep. its a v2 btw.

Pictures are in the link

This is my first rep ever btw, if you see anything that i might be missing, please inform me

Yes it should line up.
I just rejected one that had the opposite problem, the top of the triangle was tilted a bit, very slightly but you could still see it didn't line up equally with the minute markers. Was tempting to accept but it would definitely annoy me

Arrived today and installed a tropic rubber

Really nice!

Guys I have a dilemma. I have just received a third
​​set of QC pics as the first one had bad aligned of the top indici, and the second one was a v1. I now got picture of a watch with good aligned, but the accuracy is - 9 s/d. Would you guys choose good aligned over accuracy?

(the one watch with bad aligned had the bottom point of the top triangle badly aligned with the tudor shield, however it had an accuracy of 0 s/d)

And how expensive would it be to get a watch properly regulated? I'm sorry for noob questions, first rep for me

9 whole seconds

Is - 9 WHOLE second a day acceptable?

 

[jpchub]

Thats like 55 minutes a year!

I have an old 60’s Buler that gains about 15 mintues during the day at the office. I can probably regulate it myself, but I just oull the crown out now and then and change the time. Ways of telling the time all over the place, but at least the watch looks cool.

 

[emzeeka]

Alright alright, I'm accepting it )

Seiko sells millions of watches and +/- 25 is good for them


I don't care about a minute or 5 a day

Some seem to care about those 9 seconds

I don't and it doesn't mean the watch is running badly

Im a tidsoptimist...if my watch is running 5 whole min fast a day, I (read: everyone waiting on me) consider it an unintended blessing.

Well, I had to look up what a tidsoptimist is, and as a result I learned two things: 1) I learned a new word; and 2) I learned that I am a tidsoptimist.

Hi guys. I know that reps shouldnt be used for diving/swimming, but at the same time it seems a lot of users test the watch WR and even improve the WR rating by oiling some of the watches components.
Have any of you ever tested the BB underwater/swimming?
Again, i know swimming with reps is not recommended, I dont do it with my other reps, and I dont want to buy it for swimming. But I would feel happier/safer to know if it is possible!
Thanks for the help!

 

[SuperLory]

seems like it's a fairly easy goal to achieve to waterproof this watch, theoretically speaking

Just got my CQ pictures. I can't see something is wrong, but this is my first rep. Any help is appreciated.

The only way to know is to get it tested. Greasing the caseback seal and the crown o-rings ensures that the rings keep their shape when tightened down. The construction of this watch is such that it’s fairly easy to get a good water resistance. The only other point of ingress would be the crystal gasket.

Just take it to get tested if you want to know, there’s no other way.

Ended up rejecting 3 QCs due to misaligned markers. I know these are small but would drive me nuts:



PureTime has been understanding but I ended up changing my order to a Planet Ocean instead. BB58 will have to wait for another day!

Dude, read the rules re QC and then edit your post to follow them (read: either identify a specific issue you have or remove the url)
