Hi All,
I have finally recieved my qc pics for the 5167a and I'd love to know if im being too nitpicky or you guys see it too.
A few of the watch numbers seem off, Specifically the "2" in 12 is too high, "1" in 11 is too low and "0" in the 10 is flat out crooked. its not just the angle of the pic as its apparent from all the differant angles i was sent.
Next is the wooden box-set. This looks used as there is many scratches on the wood, suede bottom and back as highlighted. its frustrating as this is from a reputible TD that I have been a long time customer of. I belive this is close to my 20th watch I have ordered from them. I hate to be the customer that rejects a qc but please let me know if its warranted in this case.
Lastly, I know there has been a lot of back and forth on lume being green vs white and if its supposed to match hands and numbers.. it could just be the lighting but the indices seem very green compared to hands and numbers?
Thanks in advance!

The box is trash, I’ve had it too. You can buy it for like 30$ with all documents etc. on a chinese marketplace and ship it via agent. I hope you didn’t pay more than 50$ with shipping.Hi All,

I ordered one from a TD once.
Mine also arrived all scratched and dented. In general really bad quality, especially the metal parts and the print inside. The wood was quite nice actually.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately I am paying more then $50 for the box but the shipping is free as I was already paying for shipping the watch and the box didnt add cost.
Also, If anyone happen to be wondering, the movement says the 330 and since its not the 330 movement i think its pretty dumb TBH and would love if they just kept the 324..but it does look to be engraved though
No problem,
I paid around 150 with a travel case for my box. I have a gen travel case, the rep was really bad. Felt like plastic and cardboard. The box is also nowhere near close to gen. id suggest you just get a gen travel case, i got mine for 80.
It's v2? Has the reflection problem fix? I wonder compared with sw, which one is better, cuz I just order sw mod..lolNew Buff dials arriving to applicable sellers, apparently with slightly improved lume.

Is it just me or is there massive variance on the lume fill amount for the new Buff dials (some dials seem to have massive amounts of fill and other numbers appear much narrower)?
Or is that just a weird pic?

Sunburst is definitely too loud still but lume looks way betterI asked ctime about buff v2 dial
Here is the pic, V2 are left, v1 is on the right.

Is crown kind off ? Is gen look like this?Just received QC pics for the 5167 3KF V3 A300.
But I see what you mean. It is sticking out a bit more. I hadn’t noticed that, to be honest. I hope it’s because it hasn’t been tightened completely in the QC pic.Gen:

Thanks for posting up the QC. Unfortunately it (to my eyes) still has a crooked 0 in the 10, and misaligned 11. I don't get how they can keep getting it so wrong on applying the numbers. I've rejected like 6 3KF 5167's at this point which all have pretty obvious alignment issues.
Maybe the play is to just get one and approve it and automatically order a buff dial to swap in?
I want one but i also hate fighting with TD's that keep showing me terrible QC's with obvious flaws I have to RL.

The “0” and the “11” I can live with. There is a used gen for sale here in DK where they look even worse, I think (see below).
But I am a little worried now about the crown maybe sticking out more than it should. Should be receiving the watch soon. Will give an update on it when I do.
