Explorer II - PT QC pics - kindly advise

[iamgaius]

Hi fellas, recently got my QC pics from PT , aside from asking angled shots showing crown logo and triangle indices alignment are there other things i should be concern?

I think the lume on the GMT hand is quite sloppy?

 

[iamthestig]

Bezel markers look sloppy

Take a look at this replica below that I found on the forum, fine example of a good Explorer II

It doesn't looks like Noob version.

 

[Mickey Padge]

Bezel is VERY sloppy!

I'm sure this is a Noob version. A few issues that i see on this watch might be due to poorly taken photo and the angle of it. Maybe you can request a few more clear and close up photos from your dealer to decide whether is this good to go.

 

[Mickey Padge]

The bezel numbers are too deep and the paint curves inwards, really poor, different angle isn't going to change that

Cyclops looks low or is that from a small vertical angle?

 

[Rovin]

Looks OK, cyclops might be a bit off.
Don't necessarily think you'll get better.

Thanks everyone, i shall heed all your comments.

At first I also this might not be a Noob or it somebody else reject they are trying to dispose, it a good thing you guys are here to guide us noobs. Kudos

Guys, I honestly have no idea what you are all talking about. There is nothing wrong with the bezel on this watch. The lume looks absolutely fine to me as well. You are seeing reflections from a bright light at an angle. These are also macro shots as well which emphasize things you think are flaws. Not only is this watch a good example, but SELs are tight and the cyclops is lined up nicely. I would accept this watch.

BTW, we have a rule against posting QC pictures because you end up getting comments from people nitpicking about flaws they think might be there just for the hell of it. There are definitely watches that have flaws worthy of rejection during QC, this is NOT one of them. Remember, it's a $240 replica. It is never going to be perfect.

Good looking one - no obvious flaws
Would take it- Don't start nitpicking too much

 

[Mickey Padge]

This doesn't look like a noob version, unless they changed the paint and engraving method used, speaking as somebody who has both factory cases in hand right now

Seriously, the paint job on the bezel is off, and looks terrible, fact

Enough of these QC pics. Use YOUR eyes.

Looks good to me, I've got a black dial and a white dial Exp 2, lume on both is worse(viewed in macro photo)than this, but you can't notice it without magnification. Bezel is easy enough to repaint, and rehaut engraving looks good too, I'd take it

[Toycarsmy]

this is my exp II from Noob v2, you can see the picture for comparison. The bezel fonts are different.

Minus the deep scratch on 24 I knocked on door

This looks like the poorer BP version if I'm honest. Unless the way they make the bezel has changed.
