Looks like coronet issue is a batch by batch issue on v3. Just got a QC with the wrong one.

Check the high res comparison pics a few posts back for better view but the crown logo at the 12 has too wide a hole in it compared to gen.

Please explain the coronet flaw. I cant seem to see it, although I went through the thread :)) what is the tell?
Yeah, super obvious that the crown "hole" is too big, different V3 have various crown attached to it, just select the best.

Last few I’ve seen from Steve seem to have the big hole. But I asked to try for another anyway, we’ll see what the results are. Will update here.

Looks like from the gen side by side that the panda has a bigger hole in the coronet at 12:00 than the black dial. Maybe that explains why some of the CF blacks have the “wrong” big hole coronet…as they used the one that goes in the panda.

Yeah just got my second qc and same thing.

Looks like waiting a few weeks to le Lt these big hole units clear out would be the move.

I hope Steve is not passing around the rejected dial around to all of us. That would be crazy.

Most of the V3 in general have wide hole coronets ever since the v3 was released. It wasn’t till recently on some where CF used the smaller hole ones.

But don’t be too worried about this. These macro photo shots thats zoomed in 10x makes it appear obvious in photos, but in person no one can see that from a wrist distance. I had saw the wide hole coronet concern on my QC, but once I received the watch I never noticed it anymore.

You guys are to picky. That watch look Verry nice, you will never see that hole in real life. Do you guys understand How small this things are? The dial it selfe is verry small and imagine the mini cornet on the dial. You guys should relax and enjoy the watches insted of nitpicking over that small tings

Got it now. It is a stupid problem, but cannot unsee it now :)) I was just about to get the 116500 from Steve, but now I have second thoughts. Does the 116519 have the same issue? Cant seem to find a side by side
