177N Crown Guard Pin

[tahoebobby]

Does this look a bit messed up? Appears that the pin was pressed in crooked and flared out the crown guard.

I'm considering buying this watch but concerned about this. Am I being too picky? Ive searched other photos of this model and inspected my 111M and none of them look like this photo of the crown guard pin.

Thanks for your help.

Get another angle of it.

Here's a photo from the other side. Looks like pin was pushed in at an angle and is a bit askew.

I assume you are talking about a PAM 177 and not 117, and I have edited your tittle.

I think definitively it is something wrong in this pin
Look at the pics enlarged, the rear end of the pin have a no clear shape and it seems even that in the back the CG surface is raised in a zone (upper-left) around the pin.

Thanks for the comments and observations guys. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't off base as this is my first purchase from a TD.

I am buying a PAM318L Noob Factory and PAM177N Noob Factory Ultimate from the same TD and want these to be as nice and correct as possible and reasonable for my $600 USD.

Now awaiting new QC pics for the 177N. Hopefully they can install a new CG or just send a different watch.

Thanks again for helping a true noob.

Thanks again for the extra set of eyes on this. I PMed the TD and he agreed with us and sent QC pics of another watch and it looks great. So now I get to wait and wait for my new PAMs
