Expert eye please, V6F Pelagos LHD QC pics issues?

[Tucker]

Don't folks come here to learn about reps and how the makers approach the unattainable ideal of the mythical 1:1? Isn't reading, learning, and discussing all of this one of the primary goals of the forum?

Yes they do...and it is. However, this is not a place to order a fake Chinese watch and then nitpick it to death. Good lord dude. Buy the watch and after you receive it post a review of you new fake Chinese watch. Don't post a QC with arrows and highlights asking members to critique it. In addition to being against the rules it is also annoying. Welcome to RWI. I see you joined Saturday. Now slow down and spend some time reading the forum.

Dudes, do you make it a point to chase away new members who are a bit earnest about a newfound hobby? If so, I can accept that. I think it says more about you than me. But it certainly has been an eye opener for me. And thanks for the point-by-point takedown. That always goes over well.

Anyway, it's your house, your rules. And you guys need to take care of it. I understand that. No worries.

I was starting to enjoy the world of reps. And I still might continue. Reps might be for me, but maybe this forum isn't. I'm cool with that. Signing off, and thanks to those who responded with a bit of compassion. You have my gratitude.

Mods, if you wanna lock or delete my stupidity in this thread...or leave it as an object lesson for the next ignorant newb, I trust your judgment. Cheers.

I got flamed too as a noob....kinda goes with the territory I've come to learn. But, it made me more resilient in the process!!!!

Hell, I was being nice.

I thought we both were.

He may be best to go the trf or watchuseek as the rep world isn't a good fit it seems.

Tucker and Jason were being nice - there's a really mean focker on here who's nasty to ALL the noobs - luckily he didn't get to you first.

You're over thinking this and it will spoil your enjoyment of reps - they aren't perfect, and they never will be. The gen Pelagos costs $3000, not an expensive watch, but the rep costs what - $375 - $400 ?
That's a huge difference in price for just a few differences in appearance.
Just enjoy the watches for what they are - fun fake Chinese watches.

I read your post but didn't read the rest. As an experienced member with "expert eyes" (haha) and my advice is to relax. I see you're new here and keen but nitpicking the smallest details will make a TD roll their eyes every time you email them and do you no favors. If I had ordered this watch, I'd check the date is centred, markers are aligned properly, bezel aligns at 12 and there are no major scratches that can't be brushed out. I also ask my TD to check the function of the stem and crown as I've been unlucky with those in the past. I've never asked for a lume shot. That's just ridiculous IMO. I wouldn't do that buying a gen. This looks good to me. Remember it was assembled in China, not Switzerland. Be picky with the obvious things and don't sweat the small stuff that you'll never see on a 42mm watch at the end of your wrist.

I bet his next question was where he can get box and papers that match! Lol!
