Far from expert, my set of eyes sees an acceptable watch. From this one photo, some of the hour markers are misaligned and the TAG logo is not perfect, both features typical of this replica model. I would accept this awesome watch. This coming from someone who owns two of these calibre 16.

Edit: day wheel must be replaced by an ETA one to make the watch even better.

No, should read and do your homework before posting QC pics, mate. Here I copy you the RULES of RWI, please try to act accordingly.

Believe me (us), there's a reason for this, everyone was posting QC pics anbd flooding the brand fora with QC threads...

"At RWI, we're fortunate to have a few dealers who take the time to individually procure, inspect, and photograph watches for potential buyers. This has not always been the norm, and in fact, it's a recent development. Up until about two years ago, all of the dealers drop-shipped everything and never even had the items in their hands before it got sent to buyers. As a result, buyers got items with obvious flaws and occasionally received the wrong thing altogether, and it was all "part of the game".

Things have changed, and for the better. We do now have dealers who are willing to post QC pics to buyers to make sure that people get what they want. But there's a specific purpose for those pictures, and unfortunately, we're seeing more and more buyers (usually new members) who are abusing this privilege.

Purpose of QC pic:

1) ensuring that you are getting the right watch
2) identifying any serious flaws in the item

You may post a QC pic if you have a specific question about a possible flaw that you have found, and want input on how common or acceptable it is. However, the purpose of QC pics, and especially posting it on the open forum, is not: "Dealer X has sent me this QC pic, what do you think?"

We expect everyone to do their own research and homework as to whether an item is acceptable to them. If you haven't noticed a flaw, asking 38K members to jump in and identify all the problems they can possibly find is unfair to everyone. It's unfair to the folks who have taken the time and effort to learn about this hobby. It's even more unfair to the dealers, who have to individually buy the watches for you, inspect and photograph it, only to have you decide that some tiny imperfection which you never noticed in the first place, renders the piece unacceptable.

The staff here does not want the responsibility of censoring these posts, so we ask you to use your own good judgment in posting these pictures, or responding to the requests of others. Fortunately, having reviewed a recent thread on this topic, it seems that the consensus of the longtime members is that they understand and agree with this policy. Feel free to point offenders to this thread as often as necessary!"

Unlike your good self. They look fine to me, nothing there that isn't a flaw on every example of this watch. In fact,. that's a good one. With a few pics from the forum you could have worked that out for yourself.

+1. If you don't see a flaw, then accept the watch. Also OP, when someone points out a rule for this forum, you should apologize for not knowing the rule and don't be a dick about it.

Congratulations you have done your homework :thumbsup:

No, I did not do my homework neither when started using RWI, but when a couple members pointed me in the right direction to abide by some simple rules, I followed them.

"Enjoy your watch", I myself am looking for this, not for the best rep.....
