Hi there guys! Ordering from Ryan for the second time now. He has impeccable service and I was about to ok these QC pics after viewing them over for like a minute. However I then decided to compare these towards ebay pictures and noticed three major faults. One the date-changer is the same height, not longer than the crown guards. Two, the red yachtmaster name seems thin, not red enough. And three, the biggest tell... between Yacht and master theres a.... Dot. LOL. Not a ( - ) but a ( . ) Can someone tell me if im just being silly? He assured me "Yes this is BP maker version, no worries." But in this thread http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/...rdue-ym-146547?t=146547&highlight=yachtmaster the last comment tells the OP that his is BP fac, and mine looks nothing like his. Please give me your advice guys. Thanks! :cheers:

BMW i dunno if youre telling me if im serious because when i uploaded it, the rwi image uploader pixelated the images and made the dot blurry / look like a dash, but i assure you its a dot.. otherwise, yes im serious :(

Looks like a dash to me, even on photobucket. And that is the BP maker version - the thread you linked is not

Looks like a dash to me. Agree the red does look faint, but its a rep, you can't expect a gen like perfection.

Thanks alot for all your feedback guys, sorry for using the wrong image uploader. I don't expect a gen, which is why i was just gonna ok it without knowing exactly what every common mistake of the YM is (was alot easier to find guides for my omega PO than this ym haha), but between that link from trevor for $168 and this one which one would you guys choose? I dunno which one is closer to the original, but i like the other link more, plus its cheaper (mine is $230+). Just a opinion guys, not asking which one is more accurate, but rather which one would you choose based on appearance. Thanks! (i also know i wont exactly get the one the op got in other link if i decide to get that one. :cheers: :)

The purpose of QC pics is to:

1 - see that you are getting the correct watch you ordered
2 - see that there are nosh or flaws - scratches, lint under the crystal, smudges on dials and hands etc.

They are not provided so you can nitpick and ask why the macro shots are only 99.97% like the gen.

If I were the dealer, you'd definitely be on my no sale list.

well gazumi, im not here to nit pick. The only concern I really have the the typograph. If you could buy a watch for $50 less that says Yacht-master or one for $50 more that says Yacht~master which one would you get? "2 - see that there are nosh or flaws - scratches, lint under the crystal, smudges on dials and hands etc. " Thats more nit-picky then me being upset over the printer of the dial using the wrong character. :criegg: no offense.

Can a moderator remove this thread? I made a mistake posting up my QC pictures. Sorry for the trouble.

I just placed my first order for a rep online from one of the TD vendors on here. Should I be asking for QC pics? I guess them make them one at a time and not as a huge batch and then sell them?
