true, but the 12 o'clock indicator is still not centered…
This is my QC, I noticed that but I still accepted. Why? Because it's literally unnoticable on wrist. Like I said, I'm not picky with QC.


mine has a noisy rotor, anyone else experience that?
Yes my VR movements are a little loud. Get it serviced.

Hello everyone! I just received my QC images and have a couple of questions.
Dial - looks a bit twisted or maybe is just the camera angle? + is just me or font is a bit off?
Side - what is that little mark on the side (highlighted in green)?

Thank you!

Stretching QC rules to the limit...
Nah, kiddin. Dial looks ok to me, aligned with crown, what you see must be camera angle, but I don't even see it.
What I see on the side is just reflections, dust and stickers.

To conclude :
  1. It is small. It feels and wears much smaller than the Datejust 36, because of the narrower bracelet.
  2. The VR3230 winds smoothly and has no rotor noise.
  3. I don't think a deep crystal is necessary, the crystal is solid, Clean has gotten better.
  4. Bracelet feels much better than BP, it's great.
  5. Clasp is solid.
  6. Lume is like solid 6/10, it's not like a sub but it'll glow blue. But don't come in expecting amazing lume, the indices are small after all.
  7. Printing is great on the dial.
  8. Crown issue is not even noticeable on wrist. The thing is so small that you cannot tell the crown is off unless you have a loupe.
Overall, if you're on the fence. Get it. It's great. No need for V2. Great 36mm by Clean, fantastic stuff.

Let me know if you want any more pictures. I'll take some in sunlight tomorrow.

Thanks for the review, really excited to get mine now! A wrist shot in the daylight without the plastic wrap on would be great to see, ideally not too close to the camera.

Sorry for the double post, it takes so long to post (several minutes) that I think it hasn’t worked!

How do I explain it? BP isn't bad but it doesn't feel great either. It's difficult to describe "feel" but I just "feel" the bracelet and clasp is better made. Less wiggly and "tighter".

Mind you this is a 36 not 39 so it could be different.
