First QC Pics of the new Kermit?

[KJ2020]

The appearance of the crown face in the QC pic (on the bottom in the series below) indicates little or no angle off from a dead center shot. Compare to the second pic in the series shot.

I’d ask for better pics but I don’t see the same issue other than perspective giving that appearance.

To create only an appearance (and not the reality) of a greater gap on the left side of the crown, the bottom lug has to be closer to the camera than the top lug. This does a couple other things, seen in the top pic below but not seen in the bottom pic.

1. It makes the crown face tilt back on the right, the same as the whole watch is tilted.

2. It makes the right CG outer side appear extremely thin, nearly invisible.

Bottom pic is a still from the video

Here's one of my QCs. Doesn't look too bad.

Good news is that it isn’t an issue with the entire batch. Gotta make sure you eagle eyes those QCs photos.

LV is the 116610

LN is the 126610

My eyes strain from finding a difference. Oh man...

The minute hand is longer and the hour hand orb is larger in diameter on the 126610

That 126610 LN looks so bad bro, and it's a dead center straight on pic. Yikes

Shots from trusty time

What in the world is happening

I asked Eric from GeekTime for clarification. What a nasty surprise from an otherwise perfect watch........

Green Factory CGs

Length is exactly like GEN.

No, it’s not. It’s a known flaw of V1. But I agree it’s a minor flaw.
Left gen, right VSF

 

[mari115]

Kind of a let down, is this VSF or GREEN?

Do they all have weirdly cut cgs?

The tube/crown recess is not centred in the CGs, or more precisely the CGs are not symmetrical relative to the tube - it's a machining defect and all cases from the same batch will be the same.

New sample from Eric at GeekTime. Looks better to me than the monstrosity before. Huge shout-out to big bro KJ for spotting this.

What did you do here exactly? Mind to share? It looks good

 

[torch77]

Just received pics from GeekTime for the new 126610 Kermit.
Not asking for QC help, just wanted to share the pictures!

I am no expert, it looks very well (plus no need to worry about the hulk dial being close to gen or not)

IDK bro it still looks very badly machined, and the photo is angled to the left as if to "hide" it

Eric is a very honest gent, I'm hoping that he wasn't trying to hide it. Let's hope for the best eh. I do appreciate your input brother :fistbump:
