He was the first dealer I have ever had had send photos of the watch with the case back open. His sample also did look better than the other dealer's QC photos I received. I will post pictures on the forum after I receive it.

Post em. Let’s see them. I’m not sure if others have posted versions but I just got here. I haven’t been in this thread for a while. But if you have pics don’t hold back. We want to see.

I forgot to share the damn flaw on CF case
Engraved 116503 lol
Of course I don’t care
Wear it enjoy it. No body is taken the watch apart to show off flaws or its a replica ????
They might did this on purpose to avoid scammers ????

So he is trustworthy and the WhatsApp number is correct?
i get paranoid that someone hacked his email and send me a wrong WhatsApp and my $800 is gone.. $800 is much money for me

As I already told you, if you want to check that the contact details are the right ones, you should check yourself by looking into the TD section.
Now with your kind of logic, even if someone ordered from him yesterday with the right number, it may have been stolen in the meantime and you may lose your money, so what's the point of asking? Thankfully that kind of stuff is unlikely to happen.
But if you're not comfortable with that, and as you said $800 is a lot of money for you, maybe you should not spend that amount of money on a replica watch, which lets be honest is probably the last thing that you really need (yeah it's cool to have but nobody really needs a watch). There's no such thing as 0 risk in this illegal business
Sassy….. don’t know if there’s a need for that. Just stating QC’s do not have me thrilled at this point. Do not seem as consistent as Noob V3’s or 4’s.
I am on the wait list at my AD but have only been into watches for the past 3 years. Have been on a waitlist for a Panda for 2. Have purchased a 41mm Sub and a Patek 5196G from them, so probably not that high up the pecking order.
Don't worry there are nice ones out there. I may be done buying from the big dealers. Some approved qc photos of my second watch.
The markers certainly look better as photographed here. We will see how the two compare in the flesh.
Very nice, best I have seen yet. Alignments & SELs are my biggest concern, this look spot on here. I understand these are $800 reps with a very expensive/complex movement, can’t expect perfection but simple alignments are easy to fix.
Thinking the same about using the bigger TD’s. Next time will use a lower volume I think.
Seriously? Like no Noob Daytona ever got rejected in QC. It was the exact same bullshit going on as with CF now. Everyone's expecting beyond-gen-accuracy these days.
Just received mine from Li, first batch. Excellent service as always. This is my first daytona, so can't really compare. Finishing and quality out of the box is excellent, especially the bracelet. Links nicely polished on the side with almost a 'rounded' effect. Clasp is nice and clean and closes like a gen should. Only thing is the bracelet is a little squeaky, probably needs an oil bath to give it that gen-like 'clack-clack' effect. Tight SEL's.
Dial finishing has to be one of the best, the indices pop with almost a white goldish color. Subdial sunburst effect pops in the light.
Nicely finished links and screwheads:
Looks very nice, congrats. I feel I am eating my words…. Some good better looking dials being seen.

Ha true. But I think our anally retentive nature has lead to better quality reps over the years. At this point it is incredible what a Chinese factory can produce for the cost. The movement alone is insane for sub $800. Micro prototyping is turning certain industries on their heads. Noob generally were very nice apart from some obvious shinny or fat sub dials on various versions. Alignments of bezels and dial markers seems off often on these so far.

Idk bro if 800$ are a lot for you and if you aren't ready to throw them away since you are buying a replica then "maybe" you shouldn't be buying a rep of a 30k watch, get a cheaper sub or an OP.
Mishaps can always happen while buying reps, and you should be willing to lose what you are paying for them.
If you get a cheaper rep it would be more believable on you, based on how you said that 800$ are a lot of money, and you won't be as annoyed if it turns out to be defective
