Hello everyone,

i ordered my very first replica wtach ever. I did the payment via wise that worked fine and i got the confirmation from Elliot, so far so good.
Today i got the QC pictures and imo the hour markers at 12 and 6 look crooky, out of angle.
I know that photos can be deceiving but on all three pictures with the dial it is not lined up, that concerned me. Please can someone tell me if i`am wrong and tell me his or her opinion for the QC , please.



Will post update.

@asusundevils1971

thanks for your info, but it is really way out of line and also 6 indicies and the bezel at 30 or isn`t it?
Is that a vsf problem or also other factories?

The bezel looks like it's one click to the left and that is why it doesn't line up. Can ask the TD to align it and send you another pic. If you are not happy with the 6 and 12 indices you can RL the watch but you are not guaranteed the next watch won't be any better as it's a known flaw.

You have that watch specifically in hand or on the wrist you wouldn't see that the indices are not perfect. These pics are magnified 20X 30X and make the flaw look significant.

yes i wait for Elliots answer, but i`ve seen much better Seamaster Diver 300 here at the forum.
Unfortunately i can see the imperfect angle, especially on the 6 indicies on the small pic. (about 2X) i think it`s because it is very near to the date window edge.

If you've done your research and know what you want then reject it. It's in your right after all. But if you get a worse one, well, I will just shrug. It's the nature of replicas.

But I find that people are very crazy on their first replica. If you have to draw lines to show people what's wrong, then it's not going to be that big of an issue on wrist.

For me this is a pretty much picture perfect Seamaster because it doesn't have buckteeth 12 markers.

The 6 and 9 are fine but 12 is a problem get another one it’s your money and once you’ve seen a flaw you can’t unsee it and won’t be happy with it and won’t wear it…

You do realize that for your lines to actually be of any significance you need a perfectly square photo straight on, right???? This watch is being held in someone's hand guaranteeing it is not square and your concerns are not valid. Enjoy your watch, and if you don't like the known flaws then you need to find a new hobby.

With a saving of over five grand over the gen, I wouldn‘t be expecting perfection, but in the final analysis, if you aren’t going to be happy wearing it, go for another watch…frankly no one is is going to notice, I would wear it and enjoy it!

I would RL this one. It seems to me the whole dial is rotated clockwise a bit, if you look at 3 and 9 those are not aligned either. I wouldn't consider it a known flaw and would definitely bother me on the wrist.

I got a ZF version from another TD, and the 12 markers looks in photo even more crooked than yours.
Still waiting for it to decide if i can even notice at wrist distance.
I will say this one looks pretty good, even compare with mine, its still a Replica, dont think you will get much better than this.
For me is a GL.

Cheers!
