My screws are perfect. Rotor was VERY loud but my watchmaker totally fixed it with P5 oil in five minutes.
I do get it that guys look for recessed screws on the classic ROOs, and that is more (but still not entirely valid). The older models do have more "recessed" screws than the contemporary ROOs and I like the fact that you mentioned a little known observation, that the screws can sometimes even protrude ever so slightly from the bezel surface (or looks to be so)

Superb watch, i want one

My god, that looks perfect. Amazing photo!

that looks perfect! the metal AP logo a massive leap over the JF.
Thanks for the reply. In that case I will probably go for the black.
How do you find the watch overall? Is the blue dial still beautiful?
Yes it is,
Overall watch feels and looks great, bracelet very comfortable, no rotor noise

I think black has the same issue. Was first for the black one but after i saw the Gen (which looks really good) i switched to blue again
because i dont think that they ever could replicate the gen effect. The blue ones are always more "mate" (the newer ones), so yeah.

Here is JF v5 Black dial in daylight and room flight.
I need to see the black Z+ in live. But from the pics, I like the Jf more.

My first post. I understand I'm not to ask others if I should accept unless I'm specific. These qc images of my zf came after I asked for others. I note one bevelled corner looked dark from every angle. I then zoomed in on the earliest images. Question: is this something I should reject or can one easily buff something like this out? I'm loathe with the polishing contrast on AP watches to try to buff anything out, but that's a polished edge... I think it is doable. Advice? Is this a little thing or worth rejection?

I hope so, but that's why I'm asking. My other reps I bought in China, so I'm looking for advice.
You'd accept though?

It could be just a little dirt.

This is what I've done. I used a respected TD found here, but it's night there and, frankly, I wasn't sure if I was being a difficult customer on this one. It seemed too big of a defect (if not dirt) to have made it out of the factory. Thank you!!
