Hi there

Just done ordering an AP and after getting the QC I would like to understand if I should/can reject them or not.

1) Stress marke on the bezel at the 26min, just next to the screw





2) blemish on the casing




Thanks for any help!

Looks normal. You can ask PT to clean the watch

Ask for another photo. I'm sure they are either finger grease or just unique fc pattern. ;-)

This. The way FC catches light can really be tricky when it comes to spotting defects/imperfections in the casting. You may be right, but as others have said there's a much greater likelihood it's just fingerprint smudges or the natural mottling of the FC.

the marks are just handsweat from my experience....

I sent them a message pointing out the two things. Lets see what they come back with. I will keep you posted.

Thanks for all the input!

I'll give you some friendly advise

Don't wear this watch on hot days

FC will get soft and chip

Looks like the numerals of the 50 and 30 are touching. Common issue on the j12 v5

What exactly do you mean by 'touching'?

RE hot wealther - i am lucky 'winter is coming'

UPDATE: PT is getting a new one from the maker.
