Hi,
I just received my QC pictures and wanted a second opinion on this forum.
I saw the lume on the 3oclock and 6oclock was abit tilted/slanted? Not sure if it is just me.
Any additional info would be appreciated as well. Thanks!

LOOKS fine to me just the camera angle plus xxx magnification and the watch having a slightly domed crystal .

I would disagree - but could be camera angles - if you look at the first picture the 12 marker appears wonky (I had similar but slightly worse on a BB Bronze blue and rejected it) - I personally would reject

Too clarify... the bottom point of the 12 Marker doesn’t appear aligned with the center of the shield

Just to clarify the Crystal is slightly domed which on magnified pictures distorts the dial . Especially if taken from a left or right bias .It looks OK to me when you open up the pictures on a touch screen .

I would explain politely to your TD your concerns , ask for some more pictures head on and close up to make sure . Preferably without magnification or in a light box

However as always it's your watch if you're unsure or unhappy with the QC and if you still feel the 12 marker is wonky then reject .

Aight, thanks for the help guys. I do agree the 12 marker looks wonky but i always thought that was because the guy has tilted the watch when taking the picture. The 3 o’clock lume was the one that always bothered me. I have rejected the QC and am waiting for the new set of QC right now

Hey guys, just received my 2nd QC pictures. So far seems like all the markers alignment issue is fixed with exception of the smudge of dirt/oil at the bottom of the watch? But the 12 o'clock marker looks off? Not sure if it is just me being paranoid. Would appreciate for any additional comments.

12 marker looks OK to me (based on photo 2)

Ask them to clean the Oil mark and retake the picture - if they can’t clean it reject it....

Yep, already messaged Elena to clean the oil mark and retake the picture.
I also noticed there is a white spot on the bezel around 20 and the 3 o'clock bezel markers.
Not sure if it is a scratch or what not.

That rep looks amazing. It seems to me they even had the markers have a bit of a 3D effect

Good lord. The 12 o’clock marker is perfect. You are nuts if you reject that watch.
