I just got QC pics from my dealer and looking at the pictures it seems there is a gap between the edge and the glass of the watch.

Please see the attached pictures....

Picture you can see at the top
the gap seems very apparent in the lume picture

you crack me up with these qc pictures Risen :p

The 'crack' you see is just the bezeled edge of the crystal... usually the crystal has a soft edge that distorts... its very slight, only about 1mm going all the way around the crystal.

Notice that you can only see this edge on the side of the crystal that is closer to the viewer... first picture, top of watch is closer to camera... so you see it there... second picture, bottom of watch is closer to camera, thus you see it on the bottom... if a picture was taken of the crown side, you would see it there.

Thanks guys. Makes sense. Dealer sent more pics to assure that it's just a reflection.

Thanks guys. Wasn't sure. But dealer was nice enough to take pictures that cleared up my doubt.

We're either as dumb as each other, or it is an easy mistake to make, as I asked almost exactly the same question on another thread on here!

I've ordered one too, can't wait to receive it.

No pics yet, I only ordered it on Thursday though and the TD I use only does pics if asked. I trust his judgement though as he has seem a lot more of them than me, so it better placed to tell good from bad as far as I'm concerned!

Just got tracking from my TD. He will ship it tomorrow. Hopefully comes in time. Next week is Canada day long weekend ... Would like to have my watch before the weekend.

Btw, Ordered coconut bob strap and got some tools to change straps.

Just be careful when you change straps, the lug screws tend to scratch very easily and don't force the lug bars into the holes as you risk chipping the ceramic.
Nice little tutorial here ---> Changing Radiomir Straps
