I asked my td what he thought of the lume on the 5, he said that it is something you can expect on a rep and it should not be a problem. Nonetheless he promissed me another watch.

Are we to anal about this batch? Maybe we have to high expectations because of the quality of the previous batch. I dont know...

well given the quality of the previous batch, i would expect that my money is going to buy me something along the same standards, otherwise i wouldn't have bothered... seems like a bait and switch tactic to me...

Well, i paid 500... If tomorrows pictures are not good either i probably buy another super rep and be happy. Feel sorry for the td that received like a hundred flawed watches.

Also weird that they accepted the watches. They could have expected these kind of reactions from the community.

This batch is obviously lower quality than the last. This is not a 100+ watch, but a near $500 one. I think buyer deserve more.
Just reject it, and not suck it up.

It is not nitpicking if concerning the bad lume application in this batch. It's too obvious of a sloppiness and even if the previous batches weren't that good, this is not an acceptable standard of quality in brand spanking new watches at this price point by Noob, which is known all this time for their high quality.

As the overall quality of this batch is so bad, the T D's should give a discount on it

Well if the noob factory thinks they can sell this crap to us by shoving it down our throats that since its a rep these glaring inconsistencies should be acceptable, I am outta here. For $500 I don't want a rep that screams it is a rep.

Well see what he says when you offer to give him rep money for his rep watch. These td's will advertise "1:1 best rep ever, superlume" etc and then say it's a rep when you find an obvious fault.

Just incase you guy missed it Ryanwayer has posted the diver in his section, $338 and it looks the best one I've seen so far in terms of lume application

True. In terms of bezel alignment as well.

Got my updated pics of a new pc. Looks like it was just a batch problem. This one looks much like before

Lume is still thick and lumpy on the 5, but that's viewing it as a macro shot

I have more than 10 pcs AP Diver V3 on hand and I think they are all good lume applied, I suggest you ask your dealer pick another piece for you is fine, I also got the same batch like other dealers. so it shouldn't all have problem.

from my first QC pics, this id a vast improvement. If i were to reject cos of slight irregular lume, imho, it'll be nitpicking a little. Just posted to show guys that there is a better batch like ryan mentioned as well. Cheers

this was the QC pic of my Diver that I sent back.

I have circled the areas that I have found to be unacceptable to me.

hy,
I think I win for one of the worst bezel
Note the beautiful finish on the 5 the 4 and even on the dial at 12.
I will refuse it hoping that the TD have something better in this batch.:angry:
