I ordered and received my first Rep from PureTime. Disappointed to say the lease.

#6 at 6 O'clock is rotated slightly to the left and it's a easy tell rep... must return and wait for an exchange now.

Anyone experience something like this with BFF? Isn't Noob BFF one of the super reps?

OH man, looking at my own photo post, I'm now seeing that #12 is all jacked up too.

Is this just a bad version or maybe it's not even NOOB version? i guess I need to request a much better quality QC pics to avoid another month and a half worth of wait...

Some QC flaws are easy to miss by the unpracticed eye but these are just abysmal. The excitement and adrenalin rush from getting your first rep probably didn't help either. To be fair, we've all had those moments.

The first one was totally messed up, these new pics do look great to me. With the domed glass it´s almost impossible to catch top and bottom 100% straight. I´d say this one is perfect.

Diamond point doesn't align perfectly with the 12 marker, looks a half click off.
That bugged the hell out of me but heard that a lot of these come that way.
I missed that on my QC but luckilly enough I was able to mail to another member here on RWI who fixed it for me for $35 shipped back.
Jewellers won't touch it as they are afraid they will crack the sapphire bezel or say that it is an unfixable flaw because they don't know about the double bezel mechanism.
That bugged the hell out of me but might not bother you.

I'll ask them to align it and send me one more picture. I think in this case, it may just need to be turned. If this is the same watch i had that got fixed, (not a brand new replacement) i'm pretty sure, the diamond point does align perfectly with the 12 marker. just needs to be rotated one more click
