if you aren't convinced with the received QC pictures, you can reject it and request a new one.
I suggest you to read the "New members area" before placing an order, this will save you time.

It is known that a perfect crown tube is not available yet. Even the best batches still have a slightly longer crown tube from what I can tell. Therefore, if you expect a perfect crown tube, it will be practically impossible to GL any QC pics.
Received today. What's the opinion on V1 or v2. The crown tube feels a tad long but maybe acceptable ??
I would agree with what you’ve said, tiny bit too long but acceptable (and as good as it currently gets I think)
definetly not V1, i would be happy with that crown tube length, i think mine would something like that. ill post pics when it arrives.

Looks good to me. The tube is slightly longer than the gen, but all reps are at present. it's not a tell and yours is one of the better ones I've seen. Congratulations on your new watch!
I shortend the crown tube, in general it is an easy fix. You simply have to grind the crown tube a little bit, after that you must adjust the length of the crown stem. If I had put everything back together right, with a little more patience it woud be a half an hour job. But I don't have any expereance working with watches so when I put the crown stem back in I damaged the colsing mechanism. The watch is now at the watchsmith for a service I will post pics when it's back. The crown length is perfect now I think. We will see in a few weeks. Overall an expensive mistake that will cost me 300€ but to think positive, the movement should be fine after the service.

for 300 euro you could easily have a genuine swiss eta in there. seems pretty steep for just that repair.

Bing bing bing, you got sharp eyes bro!
Thanks!! I was hoping for some Noob to find a speck of dust or something. How did you decide? Finishing of hands etc zoomed in, marker colors, cannon pinion hole, tube length, insert? I can tell, but the v2 looks really good
