Hi,
long time lurker here. First of all hello to everyone, really appreciate the information, insights and reviews on the site, especially from experts like smoke e.g., regarding the Submariner.
I also got my QC pictures and still can't really figure out, if this is the real V9 when I look at the lugs. Since there seems to be interest anyway to find out, which TD has the real V9, I will post my QC pictures as well.
TD is puretime here
My thoughts on this :
Sel looks like a V9? Maybe someone can help out. Since this is will be my first rep, I really would appreciate insights from people and of course of
smoke Thank you!
First possible flaws I see are the off centered DW (bit to the left?) and quite thick, more like the old ARF. Also the pearl looks quite big and a bit off to the left. Crown at 12h position on the rehault a lil bit left maybe as well. Bezel maybe scratched left to the 55 marker, maybe dirt (guess I have to get another picture to tell, if that is the real V9).
One last question: Is the last picture an actual water proof test? Are those legit and reliable tests?
Here are the picture
Keep it coming. Thks!
