The 2 x 12 hour batons aren't lined up nicely - the one on the right looks slightly higher. ( OCD overload )
So much detailed discretion and investigation on every aspect of this watch - it will destroy so many people on here - lol lol lol lol

I'd totally reject that because of the 12oclock markers ????

I could live with it if everything else was ok but many others certainly wouldn’t…

Hehe.. I said it tongue-in-cheek.. But can see many others who'd lose sleep over it.. Can u imagine if the gen had misaligned markers too?? Lol

I've seen more than one with them. Google 5711 flaws.

I wouldn't do that. You may want to ask your TD to set the date hand to an even date number to see the hand alignment with the date marker. Some V1 had that misalignment flaw.

Sorry, I didn't mean it as a question... Couldn't edit my earlier msg to remove the "????".. Lol

No problem. I did not find the 12 o'clock markers that bad. Anyway, your order, your money.

If this helps debunk the coincidence:

No gap at the 12 marker.

No gap at the 12 marker.

There's probably a very thin gap, just not visible on a low-res photo. Another TD pic:

Mine looks like another 2-3 days ETA.

I think the community is being a bit harsh on these folks that are pointing out these flaws, I think y’all are doing a great service to the community pointing out things we should be looking for when reviewing our QCs. Yes, these are Reps and they’re not going to be flawless… but for for the $7-800 we’re dropping on these pieces, we do expect a high level of precision (not perfection) on things like lint on the face and proper placement of the batons!

On the bright side, I have gotten messages from TDs indicating PPF is "revising" their dail due to color... hopefully this gets addressed as well. Waiting for the late July/early august QCs before pulling the trigger on this one.

I can't back this claim up. I asked Andrew (Trustytime) today. No dial update in the pipeline. If you have any documentation, please share it.

I'm just looking forward to hopping into my Honda Civic with this piece on, every time I make a left turn, my right wrist will remind me of the level of comfort I'm working towards. Be well gents.

As I stated earlier, have you seen the flaws on gen Pateks ?

Just a picture reference of my 5712 to compare to the QC posted
