Ive had my QC, noticed the triangle doesn't meet the top of the Tudor logo and the pip is not centred in the bezel traingle. this seems to be the case on most the QC's I've seen on here

so could be batch wide issue

Here is my gen. My insert is also poorly aligned as you can see. Doesn't bother me the least because I know it's gen.

How do you rate the quality of the bracelet and movement (rotor)? Noisy/rattling? Or solid and «gen-like»?

Don't think 2824 movement will ever wind like gen. The gen is buttery smooth and 2824 will always be a little gritty.

Rotor noise should be minimal on 2825.

And ZF makes very good bracelets for Tudors so I don't think that will be an issue. Even the gen bracelet has a slight rattle.

Very easy to set time, can here if you hold to your ear!

Bracelet good, clasp not a good as my gen Pelagos but not sure how solid it should be left to right

Very nice, how long did it take to arrive? I'm about to pull the trigger...

Looks great! And the dial has texture and doesn’t look as flat as in QC pics!

What size wrists have you guys got? I'm wondering how a 39mm would be on me, worried it might look small.. ????????

Small wrists (no idea size) but used to wearing 40mm. This 39mm is perfect for me. I find myself drawn to thinner, less wide watches as time goes on.

39mm is perfect for 16,5/17cm wrist... The OP Rolex us a good choice for this size too

Can always swap out the A2824 for an ETA or Sellita 200 if you want quieter rotor and smooth winding. That’s what I’m doing with my RXF 116610LN

In your picture and some of the QC pictures it looks like “SWISS MADE” is hidden by the the crystal. Does it look hidden in person or is it just the angle of the picture?

I'm an 18, not particularly big, but I don't think my NTTD looked big enough tbh and they are 41mm

Can you help me to tell if this is good?

qc pics

Wrong question. The right one is : do YOU see anything wrong with that watch?
Personally, I don't.

Unless you have a specific concern about a visible flaw, don't put QC pics on the forum please.

Looks solid to me, having owned a gen 58 when i see reps almost no difference.
