I purchased mine from InTime on the 13th November and received QC photos today (16th), so very reasonable time there. However as you said the QC images were quite poor (see photo below).

Please can get all of your opinions on this QC, specifically:
  • 6 marker looks off centred?
  • 9 markers looks odd?
  • Are the SELs correct?
  • Anything else worth pointing out?

To me it seems like the 9 marker looks weird due to the shadow of the second hand

Geese this thread is staring to look like a Sub thread, all of the nitpicking used to be reserved for Subs but now we're getting it on a Tudor.

I'm glad I'm not so choosy, much easier to enjoy my watches without worrying about all those horrible flaws and tells.

Agree with you 100%

Approved my QC pics today. I swore off no more reps this year BUT this I couldn't pass up.

I am happy with my insert blue to red transition across the 3 and my DW alignment

Here’s a couple of pics of mine, received this week. First impressions are that this is a damn good rep. Sure the hand stack is not correct, and bezel blue might be slightly darker than gen, but those things don’t bother me in the least. Finishing is extremely well done, and feels great on the wrist.
Also the blue on the bezel seems to appear darker in photographs than in person or in natural light. I think this one is a keeper.

Haha, I swore the same thing and actually sold all of them off. But this one got me back in the game...

Looks great. Do you mind if I ask which td you got this from?

The Asian 2836 in my Tudor GMT is one of the most accurate movements I have in my small collection. Approx +2/+3 sec per day.

A really great rep imo!

This thread is killing me. Accepted QC on mine about a week ago but still waiting on QC for the second watch in the order.

I got my QC photos: https://imgur.com/a/55rPfCb
I highlighted potential problem areas.
A paint spec under the T
Crooked six marker
DW looks aligned too much to the left
Is +/-18 seconds per day too high?

I am thinking that I should decline this. Do you guys agree?

Sorry to ask a maybe noob question, but as far as i can see, both, gen and rep, have the same stack?! GMT, hour, minutes, second?! Or am i missing something?!

You need to look closer at the gen as the order is hour, gmt, minute and secs.

Anyone got good leads on leather straps for this guy? I like this one in blue but don't like the taper down to 14mm. Appreciate input and suggestions.
