QC - Cartier Ballon Bleu - iv not complete

[JasonGSD]

I'm sorry guys I placed the order don't have a lot of time, getting watch for gf for an event and need to be quick. Does the IV look wrong? Doesn't look complete like gen. Also, is the crown not centered enough? I hate posting QC but I'm really in a jam right now and want to get this watch shipped ASAPView attachment 27396

Everything is absolutely fine, Jason. There's no IV, there's IIII.

 

[JasonGSD]

But look how he iiii is cut off in the corner. That's off isn't it?

The IV on the bottom is fine. The dial looks good. The CBB has a heavily domed crystal that distorts the appearance of the dial when you look at it from an angle. That's part od tbe charm of it's design. Most reps of the CBB don't get this right....this one does. I am guessing this is tbe.toro special or at least the same as the watch toro is offering. No worries. It's a good watch. Accept it.

Yes, but there's crown cutoff! It should be like this on replica.

 

[JasonGSD]

But look at the gen the iiii isn't cutoff at all. Is this because of the domed reflection not showing it? View attachment 27401

 

[JasonGSD]

Here's someone else's QC look at the iiii. View attachment 27402
I just want verification that the iiii is missing part because of the angle

(Deleted). Found out my answer re seconds hand.

 

[Painter6]

The watch looks fine. Have you seen a real one I person? The picture on the gen site is edited and perfectly lit.

The only model that had the second hand is the large model 36 I think. Is the one you are getting a 36?

 

[JasonGSD]

Yes 36 quartz.

Looks OK to me. Will GF know the difference? That's what's important.

If the GF is counting the seconds when she's around you, then...:thinking:

:hehehe:

 

[JasonGSD]

Haha, listen all I need is my gf going to a party with a woman with a gen and comparing noticing the iiii is cutoff and the woman calling her out for a fake and I'm done for hahahah .

 

[Painter6]

Yes 36 quartz.

Ok, the quartz don't seem to have the second hand.

Also, if you are still concerned about the 4, just confirm with the dealer. I think it is fine. The domed crystal is making it look cutoff.

I may need to get one for the wife.

 

[JasonGSD]

I sent an email "QC confirmed upon confirmation that iiii is not cutoff"

I have never purchased a rep for a Girl. They tend to hold stuff like that against us in the future. I would have went with a Raymond Weil Jasmine.

Jason.....:spank:

 

[JasonGSD]

I dont want to hear it BMW, I'm still new here so I get to post a few annoying noob QC threads. It's not my fault there are 1000 cartiers all looking disimiliar

Either way I was hoping itd get shipped out today and I still haven't got a response.

 

[TESLA760]

Well of course not. You were busy parading your pics around. The faster you approve the pics, the faster your watch gets shipped.

This looks like a 28mm imo, this is what i got almost 2 years ago 36mm.

 

[JasonGSD]

Okay so I think there may have been some confusion here as a few of you may have thought i had ordered the 28 when in fact i ordered the 36.

I just got an email from Ryan's QC apologizing saying they sent me pictures of the 28mm on accident and they will get the 36 in for me tomorrow. I knew something was up!

Looks like the gf won't be wearing it for the wedding were going to this upcoming Thursday though

Good catch Carleton
*points finger at BMW* aHa!
