Ok, so I'm new when it comes to Sub replicas. I have been wanting to pick one up but wasn't really excited about the $500-$800 price tag for some of the REALLY nice reps like BK's and TC's. I decided to start off with the noob factory version from Trevor with the Asian ETA 2836 clone movement. He just now sent me the QC pics and I was wondering if any of the experts here could critique them for me and let me know if I should give him the go ahead to send it. Any help/comments/suggestions would be great! You can increase the size of the pictures by clicking on them. Thanks!

Jesus Christ - haven't you read anything? You have ORDERED the watch

The time for questions has passed

Looks fine. Smart move to get the 2836. If you don't like dial, hands or crown you should be able to put TC or BK parts.

Don't really understand the previous comment, but not very nice tone... :-(

This is NOT the purpose of QC pics. It's been covered 406 times.

The main reason for QC pics is for you to make sure that this is the right watch that you have ordered/paid for. If you are able to see the flaws then its a bonus.... me thinks.

Robotomic - thanks, appreciate it.

I should have been more clear in my first post, my main concern with this watch was the cyclops not being aligned with the date window.

I understand that QC pics aren't to be torn apart. That wasn't my intentions. I'm excited to get my new watch and want to be sure I don't have to send it in to be repaired for something as simple as a cyclops not being centered. I figured another set of eyes might help.

Sorry for ruffling any feathers.

I have read the rules when I became a member (3 years ago). Haven't ordered any watches until now. I'm sorry I didn't go back and re-read the rules 3 years later. Forgot the rule about the QC pics. Also, I did have one concern about the Cyclops that I should have been more clear about. The rules state they can be posted if there is a concern. Am I wrong?

Lol..... nothing wrong with the cyclop imo, it is just the angle of the photo.

Whenever you have doubts for the watch during QC, you should verify with your TD first instead of starting a thread for help. Watch is with them, they are the best person to answer your question and clear your doubts.

Thanks carlton. I actually did try to verify with Trevor, but the language barrier was causing some communication problems.

Cyclops is fine. It's the camera angle. You can see the bottom edge of the Cyclops is parallel with the bottom edge of the date window. If it was misaligned it would have a different angle.

Besides, I think you knew that and are only bringing up the Cyclops now because you got spanked.

And why the hell does my phone capitalize Cyclops?

Keep in short, simple and straight to the point. Just tell him your doubts and request him to take a photo of that area for you again, full stop.

Of course, do it politely.
