Hi There!

A few days ago I just placed my first order @ hont. Blue Pelagos. Everything is fine so far and hont is always quick answering and guides me through the process. So from that side I really trust in hont and looking forward to get my first rep watch.

I do have just one questions, and hope I get answer according one detail during QC.
The top 12 o clock marker seems to be a little of to the right.
Can anyone give me feedback if this is still ok?

Thanks!!

regards, stefko

Looks great to me. These are reps. If you're to examine them with a loupe, you'll always find something. If you must be that picky to be happy, go for the gen.

Thank you for your answer! That helps me a lot. As I'm new to this topic, it is hard for me to judge whats ok and whats not. If this is in range, than I can accept it. Just compared the QC pics to other pics I found in forum, and there on most of the pics the alignment seems to be a lot more accurate in this detail. And I'm a 100% with you, the watch in general looks absolutely great!

I'm not familiar with the details of Tudor reps but as a general rule of thumb, you must be open to some details not being as good as the gen equivalent. It's more about what you can live with than what someone else might think is ok or not. Will you notice that the 12 o'clock marker is off to the right if you look at the dial without a magnifying glass? If you'll notice it, maybe (just maybe) you shouldn't buy it because you won't be able to unsee it and will make you not want to use the rep.

Thats the point. But as far as I can judge from the pics, you will see it without a magnifying glass. But, yes it's hard to say without holding the watch in my own hand.

That's a magnifying glass! Even looking at that in my phone it's bigger then the actual watch dial. And I'm not even talking about the red box. :)
