AF just released the Cartier Tank Must

The quality check video I’ve been provided shows a shacking dial. It is that normal? Is an easy fix or should I ask for another watch to be sent?

I really am no expert, but I've been lurking at enough QCs to tell you that it does not seem right. As always with these watches, you should decide what "issue" is a no-go for you. If you can live with a dial that moves while you change the time, then go for ityes is normal or yes I should ask for another watch?
Oops. I meant that I wouldn’t buy it. i agree with other comments ^ that you may not be able to get a perfect watch every time. However, being aware of an obvious issue before you buy it would be a red flag for me.yes is normal or yes I should ask for another watch?
woah. that's a total NoGO.
The dial is loose, and there is a fair chance it got scratched or will get scratched in transport

I don’t suppose anyone has one they’re willing to part with? I ordered one for my wedding in 9 days. It’s arrived today but they’ve sent the small not the large. I’ve asked for another so would be happy to sell it back plus some if someone’s willing to help a man out.

inactive thread, and daft question, but
How is the water resistance on these? Has anyone taken one swimming?
I know the gen isnt even rated for swimming (just 30m), but I see the gaskets on the AF are there and I’ve recently had a lot of other surprisingly water and steam immune 30m watches

It's rated for 30m, which means: keep it 30meters away from water.
This is beautiful! New to reps, this is definitely my personal favorite a the moment. Doing my homework now before buying, glad I saw your comment!Looks a bad rep to me...
Only positive is the pinion is gen like compared to F1 & K11 as it sits flush with the hands but in reality this is not something anyone ever notices. The cabochon is still slightly the wrong shape, again not a huge deal as it's "close enough" but the dial printing looks to be inferior quality with flat text/numerals and even some bleeding in the 5 minute markers above 6 & 7 on the rail track. Not to mention the movement which is a $2 Chinese POS, in F1 & K11 the movement is genuine Swiss quartz.
Here are some photos of my F1, first one showing the 3D quality to the dial printing and second showing the movement....
