What's a "working class hero" ?

Hi @TESLA760

Well, long long time ago, in the western world, there was a so called working class. People who use to work in factories, or any other kind of manual work. I don't want to bother you and the others with my old fart memories. It's something people like me use to tell to nephews, on winters night, when snow covers all the land, and wolfes howl in the night, and....

OK I need to change my wine tastes...
Next Christmas no more Franciacorta and go on with Alta Langa.

Sorry for my English as always.

See you around buddy (hopefully you make your way down to the Looney Bin sometime ).

Now.... there's an invitation!

Thank you for being understanding. After 20 years of ignoring my diagnosis, I have decided it was time for me to address my severe PTSD from the trauma I suffered downtown NYC on 9/11 so I tend to take things very personally these days. Just don't want to upset anyone and please know if I'm short with a response, there is no ill will there. I appreciate you all allowing me to remain in the forum. It's kind of you.

This is a great community, full of knowledge and can also be a bit sarcastic. Understand that it is all in good fun. I hope you find it to be a welcoming place.

Good info

I read somewhere in this forum that unless the QC pics themselves are truly noticeably wrong, then its best to error on the side of GL. Because as you said, you are buying a REP. And more often times than not, then if you RL something the TD more than likely has to pay that cost out of their own pockets. And I want my TD to be happy and continue to do business with me.

Thanks for the info.

QC pics are to satisfy YOU that the watch is OK to YOUR standards, that there are no crooked indices, missing lume, offset chrono hands etc. QC pics are not for picking tells or things that are present in every example of a model such as spelling errors, happy feet, wrong lume colour etc. These things you should be aware of already either by reading or by posting a thread before you order and asking about the issues with whatever model you wish to buy.

QC pics should only be posted if you have some doubt and need to ask a question such as "Hey guys, the lume on the 6 looks a bit wonkey to me, should I let it go or ask for another watch?" or "Is the SEL gap on this excessive or is that normal on this model?" or even "I was told this is a V3.5 but I'm not sure, is it?" That sort of thing, not a general "can anyone see anything wrong?"

This is the norm across all the boards. The reason is to prevent self claimed "experts" chiming in with shit like "Don't accept this, the date is .0001 of a mm off centre!" or "this version is shit, you should have got the V 27.32". The first is answerable by remembering it's a rep and the second is outside the scope of QC pics. This sort of bullshit results in watches being rejected for no good reason and the dealers get stuck with a watch they cannot return as there is nothing wrong with it. The noob who asked also then ends up with an unrealistic expectation of what he can expect. That helps no one.

You should all be grateful you have QC pics at all, it was only 4 or so years ago they did not exist. Try to think of anything else you buy on line where you get QC pics? You can't can you? The dealers hate them, it would be very easy for me to have them stopped. One email to all the dealers telling them all to stop would be all it would take and if QC pics begin to have an effect on the livelihood of our dealers (and thus the cost of reps in general) I will do so. The guy who had this bright idea first is no longer even a dealer here.

Being That is is my first rep watch I’m curious to what you all will say. I hear Clean factory produces the best 1:1 clones.

You need to read the first post on this thread. Open ended questions about QCs are not allowed. If you have an issue with a specific detail then go ahead. The problem is you may get some self proclaimed expert who might put you off the watch for no good reason.

Sead is one of the TDs that does good QCs himself.

How good are good reps these days? De-sticker that watch, retake those pics and it would not be questioned on Chrono24!

You must've taken a wrong turn while riding on Reddit Lane.

Is that anywhere near Albuquerque?

Is that anywhere near Albuquerque?

These days... anywhere in the fine state of California.
