1st Tudor. Is minute hand too short?

[allin72offsuit]

Hello Tudor forum,

The Black Bay in "Ironman" Red caught my attention and I decided to pull the trigger on it. I ordered the new edition with the shield logo. I've only seen the reviews of the rose logo edition but TD says this is based on that same V4/V5 build.

Anyways, could you take a look at this QC pic and tell me if this is a tell I should be worried about?
The minute hand in the gen seems to touch the gold rim but on mine, it seems to be a millimeter off.

yes it is too short but they are all like that from the same production batch so you won't solve the problem by rejecting it

buy it and replace the minute hand with helenarou minute hands (+relume to match lume) if it triggers your OCD

helenarou hands

Thanks for the advice. I'm ok with it if all the reps are like this. I heard some rumblings this was a super rep so thought that maybe I just got a bad one.

I'll look into the helenarou minute hands later maybe. I'm partly buying it to try it on for awhile to decide whether it's worth buying the gen later.
