Ok sorry I did not know that. I have seen people post QC pics before in this thread so that's why I did also. I have approved already anyway.

Its fine if you have specific questions on a particular part which you would like a second opinion

Well I don't think that the insert triangle is well aligned with the dial, it looks to me that's a bit tilted. But from the pics I have seen from other watches I think it is the case on every other watch also. So dunno if I should concern about it at all? Watch is approved already, but guys can answer me so I know.

Even if is slightly misaligned, is an easy fix for a skilled watchsmith

Do you have to remove the insert to make this happen or you do it by turning the dial?

This is my acquaintance gen though. Maybe I should not worry about it as it looks worse than on v2s lol.

If you're not happy with it being this little misaligned you'll be rejecting some gens as well. I have it much worse on my 2 ZZFs and you really cannot notice it IRL.

Yeah that's what I thought. I have accepted of course, just wanted to ask about it.

Are there any improvements on the bracelet with the lower case c and r with the new one with the capital C and R or is just the engravings?

Some of the apparent misalignment between a bezel triangle and a dial triangle is due to pic angle (parallax error). TDs hold watches at angles to showcase things like the cyclops and date window. Observe in the two pics below how making the cyclops and date window look centered changes the apparent relationship between the bezel and dial triangles. Nothing was changed except bringing the right side of the watch closer to the camera.

Good point. A lot of our "complaints" about QC pics could be simply...camera angles

I don’t know if this is frowned upon with trusted dealers but I was given QC of this exact watch and I denied it.

Why you have denied it? After I have accepted already I'd rather know what's wrong with it as I am not too good with reps yet.

Dont bother, he could be wrong and besides it looks fine in those 2 photos. Enjoy it, finding faults will not improve your experience

Good eyes, I did not notice it. I think it will be hard to spot irl though.

It is a bit crooked if you look closely but does anybody think it is a big flaw? Do average people notice something like this on a hand irl?
