Hi, I've just received QC photos for a AP Royal Oak Jumbo, does everything look okay? In particular, do the bezel screws and the dial alignment look acceptable?

This is the watch I ordered:

Thanks for looking, and any feedback and comments.

Bezel screws look fine to me....only 11 an 1 o´clock screws need to be tightened from the backside a bit more to get the missing 1mm to be sunken on the bezel.

The allignment of dial and bezel plays trick to your eyeys...everthing is fine there.

Running a bit slow....well, better than too fast!

Nice watch...

Actually, it would be better to be running a bit on the FAST side as it will naturally slow with time ....

I think it is better when they run faster, after some time they will slow down and it is easier to set the time when it is faster, just stop the watch

Okay, I got Puretime to send some additional QC photos of the watch. Two questions:

1. Does the rehaut look centered (seems okay to me, but a second opinion is always appreciated)?

2. Does the bottom left corner of the AP logo okay, it looks like there might be a slight blemish there (might only be noticeable on the macro shots, but not in real life)?

Okay, they swapped out the original watch for another one.

If nothing else, seems to have more accurate timekeeping. From what I see, the issue with the bottom left corner of the AP logo seems to have been resolved, and I think the dial is properly centered... there is a slight reflection at the edges, but I assume that is because the crystal is beveled at the edge, as opposed to a misaligned rehaut?

I guess the same questions as before, do the indices on the dial look properly aligned, and is the rehaut properly centered. Any other comments or observations would of course be helpful too.

This watch has the same issue than other, bezel screws at 11 and 1 look to be tightened.
You can do it by yourself from the caseback

Nice rep. I notice the screw at 11, which someone had mentioned earlier, but that should be no sweat to flush. My question is, are the hour markers luminous? One of my pet peeves are when originals come with luminous markings and the reps have none-that and magnified date windows.

regarding to Domi, the screw in crown is the weak part of it

Love that watch. One of the most beautiful out there imo

edit: not this rep per se but the AP itself.
