Which TDs have Clean v2 because I checked a few websites and don't see it listed

You need to ask them directly from mail or whatsapp. Their websites not showing all products.

Guys, I'm following this thread since day one. I just got QC for the 116500 Black Dial BTF V2. I RL'ed it because in my opinion, the alignment is not good. The alignment of the rehaut and bezel is off. I thought in the V2 BTF the alignment issues have gone? I would love your opinion on this. Did I do something wrong or not? The QC pictures:

The bezel does appear very slightly misaligned. It’s the kind of thing that you could fix (with the right tools — a bezel remover tool $40, and a watch press $40) in about 30 minutes; assuming you’ve never done it before but are reasonably handy. Or you could RL it and get another one.

Or ask your TD if they'd be willing to realign it for you

Good point. With all the issues with BTF Daytona bezel alignment, I’d be surprised if they weren’t already doing this with RL’d watches, and then recycling them back into the system. Although I guess there’s a risk of the break a bezel. And I suspect with the volume of BTF Daytona sales these days, it’s probably pretty quick to swap watches with the factory.

I think their just swapping with the factory but I also think you’re right that someone (most likely at the factory) is doing the fix to any RL watch and putting it back into the pool to be distributed. Kind of like a refurbished model. The factory has the tools and the parts… the TD is just the customer sales dept.

I believe they just send rejected QC to other customer in line for high demanding watches.

Ugh… THAT is probably the reality! ????

Sure. Why wouldnt they? Not everyone cares about those issues, A rejects, B accepts. So why bother sending it back to factory?

 

[Björn_Ironside]

I agree, I do not see any problems, indeed, I think it is right

You can remove the "probably". The flaws one rejects will be accepted by another.

What about the rehaut, guys? The rehaut is also misaligned. I mean I'll franken the watch so the bezel misalignment is not that such of a big deal. The problem is on the rehaut.

You can't find a perfectly aligned BTF v1 or v2. If bezel is aligned, rehaut / dial will not be. If everything is aligned, crown on dial will be off to left or right. If they are all good, subdial hands will be longer. So, if you want it you have to live with it. You are lucky if those issues are little with your QC.

Its also weird that almost all mirotime QC's i see are good (I can't trust them to place order from them). I always place my order from TD's but there are so many TD QC's with all kinds of issues, not seen a perfect one from any of them yet maybe very few.

I got 3 QC 's from a TD for BTF and rejected first two (misprinted subdial in first and longer hands v1 with crooked markers in second).

Hmm, I mean I typically don't care if the Bezel is misaligned since I franken my watches anyway. For me it is important that the rehaut is alignet and the dial is great to go. That's why I also picked BTF over CF.

The rehaut is ALIGNED with the dial. No problem there. The issue is with the bezel which is NOT aligned with the dial. It's not a big deal to fix but what is a big deal is finding a watch smith to do it.

Case is also very nice with BTF compared to CF

I'm not quite sure about that. Look at the 12 o clock. and then the rehaut. The rehaut is slightly misalignet. I have a watchsmith to fix the bezel misalignment since I'm putting a gen Xtal on it but the problem is the rehaut. You can center the rehaut mostly.

Yep, also a reason why I picked BTF over CF

Your bezel looks misengraved to me. 240 and 120 are spot on. 60 and 80 are way off. That can't happen on a properly engraved bezel. Your dial and rehaut are fine. A fix would be a CF bezel replacement.

Rehaut alignment can't get much better than this
