Let's summarize:
  1. Paid 23/4
  2. QC pics 11/5 (queries on QC)
  3. No answer by 15/5
  4. Thread accusing a TD of theft 15/5

that 'misalignment' looks to be parallax effect to my eyes, in top pic the indice lines up with edge of the zero, in the lower pic its centred as it should be. seller prolly feels they are being messed about.

Why not at least putting a [Solved] behind it, in cases like this.
I know I´m not suppose to be a smart ass, but something like this happens almost on a daily basis and reputable TDs get flamed for nothing.

I would suggest this idea, to include a [Solved] in the title, instead of " (NOPE, just an overreaction)", which may still lead to confussion.

again, as explained above, I have not acused anyone of theft, once I confirmed contact details were correct, I aplozied for the title, as it was not the best choice. anyway, it doesnt matter, because lynching started already! as is often the case here! xD Thanks anyway

Pictures shown are from different watches (first pic is QC pic and lower pic is from another watch of TD website, just to compare). I can confirm that misalignment exists in the watch, however, Im happy with it and it doesnt matter anymore. Thanks anyway.

There are required readings here, and some of them address the type of anxiety that you exhibited with your first order to a td. No shame in that as far as I’m concerned- I had my first order with a td recently, and I had noob anxiety as well. I’ve been REALLY lucky with how well the community at large has accepted me into this forum, and it’s sort of a head scratcher to me- and I have had lots of great advice and perspective here- much more than I have deserved. I think a lot of people feel that way about the place. That being said, I can very confidently assert that I wouldn’t have had so much generosity toward me had I done something that strikes a nerve in the community at large like a clickbait theft insinuation for what was an extremely common and documented timeline. People are reacting to that in a way that you don’t like. Well, they’re reacting to something that you did that they don’t like, in their house, that they have good reason to believe is making the rep game more expensive- you reactively used the word ‘theft’ while describing a trusted dealer. In this relatively gentle dragging that you got, you just referred to it as a ‘lynching’ which you said ‘is often the case here’. I submit that you are maybe having some trouble with things not going as well as you’d like, and that it may be time to reign in your expectations a bit. If I haven’t done it yet in the ‘new members say hi’ section, let me welcome you here. I honestly hope that you stay, learn, and become another great citizen of the forum. You absolutely still can. But I don’t think you’ve gotten off to a great start.

Also, I should have added a link to some of the timeline of a td order type stuff I was referring to, sorry about that- all of this data is great but # 2. Choosing a td is a good pre existing source that could have been instructive

Take your mind outta the gutter 🫣😂

IDK if some of you watched the series, but the funniest bit about that was as Simons Fiat got about 100 yards past the bus stop it broke down and the guys at the bus stop came running after them, IIRC they were pushing the car as fast as they could with geezers chasing them :ROFLMAO:
