If you had no problems, I would at least have it pressure tested. Rep factories do not usually waterproof their watches.
It's from trustytmie, I think in the advertise it said that it is waterproofed < 50m?

I just read Trustytime's policy on waterproofing. It states they pressure test the watch, but they also say to keep the watch out of water, they do not guarantee it. So, I would recommend you stop placing it in water and have pressure tested and waterproofed by a watch smith, just to be sure. Waterproofing involves greasing the O-rings to make a better seal, but there may be some other steps involved, I'm not sure. Pressure testing involves using a machine, which a good watch smith should have.
So I have a spec of dust on the dial under the crystal... how easy it is to pull this ARF apart to get rid of it? Kind of triggering my OCD
Hi all - was able to get my hands on some more QCs of the RZF DJ41.
DW, SELs, coronet, and crown actually all look good - hands are nicely cut, and dial markers are fine.
The only issue I am seeing is with the bezel - it seems too sharp compared to ARF/gen fluted bezel - let me know what you all think.

Not bad. The bezel can be replaced if you're not happy with it. The date font looks better than ARF's, but I'll have to compare RZF's date font with the gen to see if anything is wrong.
yeah, agreed. Also, the dial print is slightly bolder than the ARFs, which is also closer to gen.
Did I fuck up by accepting this QC? The cyclops is fucked isn't it or is is the angle?..

I think I am going to GL this QC. The only thing I have concern about is the datawheel alignment. It looks a little low. I was planning to have this waterproofed anyways so I will have the date aligned when I do that. Do you guys think the datewheel here is fixable ? I mean its not too bad to begin with. https://imgur.com/a/bKjyV6H
edit: also the date font looks pretty decent on this guy compared to others I have seen.

guys an additional information: are there any colors which it is suggestable to prefer due to the fact that it seems closer to the original one? I was thinking about grey or champagne and I have a doubt...
Its fixable but better get a goof one straight away, ask for QC of other digits.
Btw your rehaut looks slightly misaligned but you can turn it a little in the case, but careful dont bend the stem

No and it's never been. You need to spend some time reading mate. Start with the list of super reps and NWBIG watches in the general discussion

Okay, I already Green Lighted the watch and it's is on the post so dont roast my new watch too hard
What I found:
- Bad cyclops (off with a few degrees)
- Not centered datedisc/datewheel
Good things:
- Not too bad date print
- SEL
- Time accuracy
But those things are fixable isn't it? What do you guys think?
