I have a concern with the SEL fit (bottom right one). Seems gappy to me.
I've looked around and all the pics I found seemed to have a better fit?

Wanted your opinion on this so as to avoid pissing off the TD.

Please can you let me know if I'm being too anal?
Cheers.

It's a common problem with the new bracelets. Sounds like you need to take a trip to the AD, it's probably not going to get any better.

I tried this on at the AD last week, but thought the SEL fir there was quite good.

Obviously I don't expect the same with a rep, just wondering if it's worth asking for another one or not.

It's a hit or miss. Some have large gaps, some don't. It seems the QC with HBB is quite poor but then again, they're reps. Can't expect perfection.

So if you're wearing it on bracelet exclusively, then I'd think asking for a possible alternate would be best. That's a relatively large gap/fitment issue. If it's mostly on a strap, then I'd just take it.

The triangle looks off because the picture is not taken from head-on....

The sel fit is not good at all, I have already made up my mind to get a proper pilot strap and nato-s for this. Too bad.

No, the triangle is very crooked regardless of the angle you hold the watch! :lolcina:

Shit! I think I have the same problem, see attached pic. Possibly this is a problem on every dial of the 3777? I hope this flaw will not attract so much attention on the real dial.

I send the pic to InTime/Jordan maybe they speak to the manufacturer and correct this flaw.

I have this incoming and it looks super nice, also the AR coating and crystal overall:



Don't ask me about the TD, they all offer the same!

My dial is fine, its just a QC issue.

Your watch picture is not dead straight but you are using dead straight lines to measure its crookedness? Doesnt make sense.

Your watch looks fine.
