hilts I don’t think we’re allowed to post QC pics unless you see a specific issue, or you’ve already accepted.

That said, all looks good in your pics. Accept and enjoy one of the great reps. And post some pics when you receive

Ah well. So excited when I got the delivery notification at work. Ran home to rip the parcel open. All looked good and I went to adjust the time. Notice anything unusual?

I've notified dealer. What are my chances of replacement dodo you think? What happened to yours?

..is a state of mind!
I'm sure if you're patience the trusted dealers here will take care of you.

I didn't buy mine from a dealer and take note it a Sub and not a Sea Dweller. However, if you can find a local watchmaker, its and easy adjustment for them to do. If everything else is okay with that watch, I would find a local watchsmith to adjust it. Probably better off too as you can get the seals grease..etc. while their at it.

I took mine to a local shop. I know the guy, he won't work on replicas but looked at it and told me its an easy fix. I have yet to get mine fixed as I'm looking to source some other parts to upgrade at the same time.

I juste receive my QC and i have a little question :

IMG-4870.jpg


First, seems the bezel teeth are very good

Second, the date font seems too bold compared to previous batch no ?

Third , the 10 number of the bezel seems too close of the inner no ?? limit cutted


Also, the amplitude on the timegrapher is about 352 , it's not too much ??

Just sharing :) anyone seen this video before? this guy self pro claimed that this SD43 was Swiss made replica that sell on the market for £500-£1500 and It's his EU watchsmith friend who has built it. polished it including rehaut and it looks much better irl than the chinese made.

To me it look like just an ARF 126600 SD43 under very bright lights, well i ain't expert on picking everything but it definitely a commonly seen SD43 here.
